Tried bits of all three, couldn't help it, had to share. hehe The Lindor (caramel center) is my favorite though the white chocolate is soooo smooth. They are all wonderful and I think I can get the Lindor here though I am not sure if it is the same kind of bar. Hoping for my health's sake I can't get it easily. ROFL
Tabby cat, one of our regular, if somewhat timid, cat visitors to the garden. In this case sat under the hedge looking contended with the sun on its face.

Time really hasn't been on my side lately and I have missed the opportunity to blow the dust of my camera. Nice weather for Egrets though, which is handy!
Still, can't complain, except about my camera which, after 4 years of being abused by a clumsy great oaf, is starting to give up the will to live.
Contented. Another picture recovered from my old slides of Africa.
On visit to Moremi Reserve on the Okavango Delta in Botswana, we followed a large number of circling vultures to a buffalo which had been killed by lions. The kill was several days old and mostly consumed, still occupied by a large pride of lionesses, cubs and a single large male lion. The lions had obviously gorged themselves to the point where they hardly bothered to protect the kill from vultures and other scavengers.
We returned to the kill several days later – nothing was left of the carcass (see below). Almost all the scavengers had left as had the all the lions except for the large male lion. He was lying in the grass looking as if he was trying to sleep off his gluttonous feast - one very contented lion.

Having cycled past quite a few times I was struck with how happy they all looked and though there might be a photo in there somewhere.....near Wauldby, East Yorkshire.
The stitching retreat (February 24-28, Lake Tiak-O'kata, Louisville, Mississippi). Ladies attending the Jackson Stitchery Guild's Stitching Retreat could stitch for hours, visiting with fellow stitching friends. It was pure joy!
No wonder this cat's contentedly licking his paws; it looks like he just had an ice cream treat on a stick! Taken in a market in Dubrovnik's old city.

The twins are growing quite quickly and spend a lot of quality time with their mother.
The female cub, Kaly, is yawning and Jay, the male, is trying to hide.
He's been sick again, sneezing and blowing his nose everywhere, had to have an antibiotic jab and it seems to be working. He's also very content, now that I have moved back into the study and he can be in his bed, next to my desk on top of the set of drawers that lives there. He can also peek out the window to see whats going on in the world. What a life!
A shaggy black bull grazing contentedly in the satellite field of Greenmeadow Community Farm on the northern side of St Dial’s Road. In the background, the Knauf Insulation factory.
A local told me me earlier this year that these fields too may be subject to development. With the council reducing grants to the community farm, causing serious financial difficulties, selling iff these fields might look an attractive option. In any case, in Torfaen, what developers want, developers get

Maybe contented's too strong a word. But, we've been "home" one full day. When I made this photograph we were sitting on the deck in the cool of the evening as the light faded. Ah ......
Rigo, the magificent Western lowlands Silverback gorilla is very content and happy with life - at least at this moment, anyway!
Rigo is not usually tolerant at all with human visitors, and will usually take himself away, out of view, so this moment was lovely to witness.
It was Sunday afternoon, and time for a Keeper's talk at the Gorilla rainforest, so there was many people gathered.
Gorillas are forage feeders, and much greens and fruit was scattered around the area in front of the viewing windows to entice the gorillas to come close.
Rigo is 38 yo, and weighs 175 Kg. When he was 22 yo, he weighed 205Kg!
Rigo is basically very gentle with the four adult females, and the Keepers are hoping that more young gorillas will result....
In the wild, Rigo would be now an extremely old gorilla, and would not expect to survive much longer, but in the safe and security of the Gorilla rainforest island, Rigo can probably live to his mid-fifties.

Sereno was enjoying the sunshine through the front door last Saturday on a beautiful autumn afternoon.

I was just enjoying breakfast when I realised that the view was a good candidate for our challenge. I made a point of not moving anything or tidying anything, to keep things as authentic as possible.
I've gone for a painterly look for this one, given our point of reference for the current challenge: John Bratby (Kitchen Sink Realism).
