Beautiful Animals

Love that photo, very dear.

Geez, irish, quite a photo story.

Barry, Great photo of the puppies. It almost has a tactile quality. I wanna reach out and touch those dogs.

dj, I like your caption for that bunny, you clever dj. The otters are taking a group nap. Look at that silky fur.

Francis, A beautiful and touching picture. Merci beaucoup, mon ami.

Irish, Amazing pics and amazing stuff. I would have liked to see that in person too. Thanks, kid.

Morning New York....

G'night.

Barry, the swan is too beautiful. The g'night pic makes me laugh. If I hadn't had cats of my own and seen the positions they sleep in, I might think that the kitten in the photo was up to its tenth life.

If Ruby does windows...

Ruby, a 10 year old chimp, pushes a lawnmower at Monkey Town animal park in Cape Town, South Africa. The green-fingered ape mows the lawn, rakes the grass, loads a wheelbarrow with straw, digs with a spade, sweeps up and gets rid of garden waste in a wheelie bin.

ummm, what does that otter have on his head

Hmmm. Is it a cookie?

This inquisitive dog was left stunned when a playful young seal gave him a friendly slap on the cheek after he bounded into the sea during a game of fetch. The seal patted the boxer on the face during the encounter after he chased a tennis ball that had been thrown into the ocean by his owner. The young dog found the baby seal with its head poking out the water and instead of retrieving his ball, he circled his intriguing discovery. Lynne Morris took the pics while going for a stroll along the beach in Fife, Scotland.

Oh, egads. Such a wonderful photo.

:::Nodding::: Had to share that cat!!

and then what happened? I assume you don't know, but wonderful photo..

Were you referring to Barry's cat photo or the black swan? LOL

Is that why Peking Duck is so special?

Yours, the dog and the seal, terrific, of course.
