tsar, The song was a bit of a surprise. At last? Okey dokey. Loved listening to it.

firefly, Glorious pics. What kind of a fish is that? Do you know. It appears to be smiling.

@Francis,
Merci, Francis. Would not have guessed that.

Alpine marmot:

@Roberta,
i'm almost as interested in the little alpine flowers as i am the marmot, love alpine plants, so fragile, yet so beautiful, eking out an existence on poor soil and less than favourable weather conditions

tsar, Good morning to you. I had no idea the marmot was royalty.

dj, Lovely delicate flora. Did you notice that the marmot has his own little alpine garden?

These animals fascinate me no end:

@Francis,
Are blowfish the ones you have to be very careful about how they are filleted because they contain poison?

OK, I just recovered from seeing today's B. Keeping the smelling salts right by the computer.

Arella Mae, I think that puffer fish are the ones to be wary of, but they're a kind of blowfish. Not 100 percent sure on this. Someone else might have more definitive info.

@djjd62,
That plant (plants?) near the marmot interested me too. Reminds me of Mickey Mouse plant, Ochna serrulata, which if from South Africa. Hmmm. Not likely as alpines, but very similar.

@ossobuco,
osso, Maybe I got the marmot wrong. There are lots of marmots. It said alpine, but there are some very strange labels out there.

Amateur photographer Ingrid Bunse snapped this photograph of a waterbuck with lop-sided horns while on safari in the Ongava Wilderness Reserve, Namibia. She said: "When I spotted this animal I knew I had to get a picture because it was so unusual - I've never seen anything like it. I don't know what caused the horn to curl like this but it didn't seem to be too bothered by it."
