Did I manage to capture a session of zebra line dancing?

Ready for Anything
Masika is a baby gorilla full of energy and confidence.
The camera showed her to be ready for anything.

Slip Slidin’ Away
As I took this photo, the Paul Simon lyrics, “Slip Slidin’ Away” popped into my head.
God only knows. God makes His plans.
The information’s unavailable to the mortal man.
We work our job. Collect our pay.
Believe we’re gliding down the highway.
When in fact we’re slip slidin’ away.

Daydream
Have you ever stared off into the distance as you daydream?
Why does that happen?
Being alone with my camera often triggers daydreaming for me.

Mallard
If you see a duck with a gleaming green head, it is likely a male Mallard.
They make good subjects for a nature photographer.

Power of Smell
Smell is the only sensory input that is closely connected to brain regions that handle memory and emotion.
Notice the look of bliss on our friend’s face.
What smells transport you to a place of happy memories?

Tiger Contest
I was able to capture what appeared to be a shouting contest between two tigers.
It was fascinating that they weren’t yelling at one another.

Ostrich Fun Facts
To accompany my ostrich photo, I can’t resist the urge to provide some fun facts.
- If you make an omelet from an ostrich egg, it will be enough to feed 8 people. I’m not sure where you’ll get a skillet large enough to cook it.
- Diodorus of Sicily, a historian of the first century BC, believed the ostrich was the missing link between birds and camels. That makes about as much sense as today’s theory of evolution. Perhaps Darwin stole his ideas from Diodorus.
- In a survey of 200 thousand ostriches over 8 years, not one admitted that it buried its head in the sand. In fact, 93% of respondents were offended by that question.
I Can Almost Taste It
When you smell a meal that someone is preparing, do you begin to imagine what it will taste like?
This photo suggests that our tiger friend is imagining a tasty meal.

Golden Birdwing
I felt fortunate to capture an image of a Golden Birdwing butterfly.
I can’t decide what is most appealing about them.
Is it their shape or pattern?
Those who named them must think they are shaped like bird wings.
To me, the shape resembles some type of stealth aircraft.
The pattern is striking on its own.
