I love the expression on the face of the second penguin - total self-satisfaction.

Do you think the first one is dirty?

A tag I guess.

The penguin pictures were taken in an aquarium.

At sundown:

Footprints in the sand (I love this pic):

To give a sense of scale, look for the camels:
Oh man - I need a drink just looking at this

And then the up-close camels:

mother and newborn:

I don't think this one liked me!

Right Robin? Her stuff looks professional

Char's look professional and so does Mika's. I've got to say...I'm a wee bit jealous. I'm having a hard time believing I just need a real camera.

Sleeping bat on my house.

Oh too cute! What type is this Betsy? Do you know? I have a bat house erected but not getting used yet, but there are 3 bats that fly over my gravel driveway every dusk in summertime for the last 7 years
