Beautiful Animals

I'm guessing that sniffing out drugs is part of the defunding of the enemy program?

In such a poor country, (which is actually super-rich resource-wise) that makes sense.

I stared at that fairly hard. Some of it is more in focus than the rest, or it seemed so to me. It's oddly decorative, and some of the birds look like part of the apparatus metal (or what) and some look like birds.

It seems that JTT and Builder haven't understood this thread New York.Along with others,I also am consigning them to the ignore box.

Coast Guard Petty Officer 2nd Class Christopher Hartman, a K-9 handler at Maritime Safety and Security Team San Francisco and his dog Evy conduct a sweep of an Alcatraz Island ferry while at Alcatraz Island in San Francisco Thursday, Oct. 4, 2012.

Ha ha, look with scrutiny at the bottom center of the picture and you'll make out the head of it, and once you make out the head, you'll see the entire body. The sneaky cat is on its stomach resting on a slanted rock.

Don't let that cat intimidate you, super dog here will protect you.




EDIT: Oops missed tsarstepan's spot on explanation on finding wal(cat)do, sorry lol

Why do you have such a hard on, Barry, for showing animals being exploited by war criminals and terrorists in their illegal invasions of sovereign nations?

That doesn't seem to square with the intent of this thread at all.

I thought my question was quite without innuendo, myself.

Me too. But Barry, being always 17, is quite sensitive.

Short-nosed fruit bats.

Wild cats....


Bengal kits

G'night from London....

Hey, London. Love dem shepherds. Thanks for the pics. Love dem kitties, too. The bengal kittens are thudworthy.

Hey, AV, Glad to know superdog is on duty. Invisible mountain lions make me noivous.

Builder, Fantastic shot of the bats. I mean fantastic. Thanks, kid.

Another animal that challenges our imagination. The giraffe taking a drink:

Well I appreciate and love your working dog photo additions Sir Barry. A belated goodnight to you as well.

Another animal we couldn't dream up:

Eld's deer (China):

I'm cleaning out, in a mixture of pleasure and horribleness, my stuff.
Today and probably for a day or two or more, my post card collection. Some are from friends travelling, some were bought by me on site, and some are from shoeboxes in tacky antique stores.

I've run into a bunch with animals. Mostly I'll put them in an earlier thread that tsar and I were posting on, one of mine re animals and art. Something like twenty photos for me to scan and post.

Have some to post here too, not so art connected. This is tricky as photographers are artists.

Waiting to see. And how about a link to the other thread? Have I never seen it?
