This is one of the flamingoes at Homosassa Springs..it is not a wild bird, but I had never seen one display like this before. They took turns during a loud elaborate mating dance and when they would display, they would only throw the wings out for a second or two, so it was not easy to shoot! Homosassa Springs State Park is a great place to take the family on the west coast of Florida with an emphasis on manatee education. It was once a pretty awful tourist trap/zoo but now houses only animals indigenous to Florida, most of which are rehabilitating injured birds. The lone exception to the indigenous requirement is a particularly nasty hippo named Lucifer that was kept because the park could find no other home for him.
In the meantime Frallerina had been brought to the dark mansion of Piridusa and Frankenjung...
The nasty Frankenjung had been really brutal with her and had tied her tight...
She was really scared to death...

this is part of a pictures-project with Miss Piri and Mister HamburgerJung.
If you missed something of the story, you can always look here to see it all!
don't forget to come back, it took us a lot of time and fun to do it and a lot of bravery (!!!) to show it ;)

About this Shot
Shot taken at the Panda enclosure at Washington Zoo. Trying to use auto focus for these sort of shots is never easy, and in this shot it had decided that the fence was a more interesting subject than the Panda behind. I decided to keep the shot as I feel it emphasises the division between the viewer and the subject.

Another shot, which was the main shot I shot when I went to the river with Ana, took tons of pictures of this so this is quite a big expansion..
It's always really hard to choose from an edit, and this picture was a lot warmer, but I thought it went well with these tones.
warmer version in the comments.

The great white shark is the most dangerous fish in the world. But the great predator cannot be seen in any aquarium. Everybody likes to see wild creatures since it’s not possible we have created an ambiance where we can watch the wildlife and the animals are not hurt also.
But...

This is actually my sweet cat Nhala behind a wicker chair near the window. I don't really keep her in a cage :)
I glanced up from my computer, saw her there and thought it would be a cool shot. Manual focus, B&W conversion, cropped, and added a bit of grain.
Adorning the walls of the Queen's Inner Hall, Stirling Castle.
The Unicorn Tapestries in Stirling Castle are reproductions of original medieval tapestries from the South Netherlands, owned by the Comtes de la Rochefoucauld for centuries, but donated to New York's Metropolitan Museum of Art by the Rockefeller family. They now appear in The Cloisters.
It is believed that James and Mary owned a similar set of unicorn-themed tapestries. The Cloisters' Unicorn Tapestries are the best remaining set of such works.
' "The Unicorn in Captivity" may have been created as a single image rather than part of a series. In this instance, the unicorn probably represents the beloved tamed. He is tethered to a tree and constrained by a fence, but the chain is not secure and the fence is low enough to leap over: The unicorn could escape if he wished. Clearly, however, his confinement is a happy one, to which the ripe, seed-laden pomegranates in the tree—a medieval symbol of fertility and marriage—testify. The red stains on his flank do not appear to be blood, as there are no visible wounds like those in the hunting series; rather, they represent juice dripping from bursting pomegranates above. Many of the other plants represented here, such as wild orchid, bistort, and thistle, echo this theme of marriage and procreation: they were acclaimed in the Middle Ages as fertility aids for both men and women.'
