This is one happy lion and I have to say he knows how to handle a ball lol. He surprises me how co-ordinated he is and just how much he loves this game even if it is in the rain.
The holy forest is a rich but deadly ecosystem of fungi, the most visible being the size of small trees.
Whilst the holy forest enriches life, its air is potent with spores that cause many sicknesses. To protect the delicate balance of the holy forest, an order of monks are charged with its care- stationed in clay towers, and wearing protective robes.
In the spring time, harsh winds blow the deadly powders of the forest across to neighbouring provinces. Each tower and mushroom hangs heavy with beaten bronze bells that chime as the forest moves, alerting the monasteries to the billowing clouds of spores before they rise.

I had bought this 3D crystal puzzle before Christmas and finally got around to putting it together. It wasn't as difficult as I imagined. (bit.ly/2Y89e1H)
Gratitude bestows reverence, allowing us to encounter everyday epiphanies, those transcendent moments of awe that change forever how we experience life and the world. – John Milton
Have you ever thought – in life we receive a lot more than we ever give. Yet, it is easy for us to remember about things we wanted but haven’t got yet, plans that were planned but haven’t worked out yet etc. But you just reading this, shows you are among the gifted – who got to learn to read, have the will to read, probably have the basic needs met and among the the ones who have WiFi or mobile with a data plan. If nothing else, just the probability of you even existing now at all comes out to 1 in 10 power 2,685,000. Basically, the odds you even exist is zero. Yet you exist.
Realize the miracle you are and yet how wonderfully insignificant you are. Be thankful… live… live a life filled with Gratitude :)
January 4 the cubs turned 1 and they had a little party with treats and piñatas.
Milo claimed the donkey pinata but his favourite was the rainbow.
This was him checking it out before he took it away. If a cub looked side ways at it he would place a paw on it and growl.
Naturally any staircase is a sort of machine to climb up or to descend, but in the best Beaux Arts interpretation it is a display, it is a dance; and it certainly enriches the conception of human surroundings and the body if architecture can bring in everyday experience a sort of ballet-like quality—semi-poetic choice—in what otherwise is a purely utilitarian conception… the purpose is not only to climb up and down—it is also to enjoy it in a sort of organic way. Lubetkin
Grade II* listed. Block of 130 flats and maisonettes. First scheme designed 1946, present design from 1949 onwards, built 1951-4, by Skinner, Bailey and Lubetkin.
Bevin Court was the last of three schemes by Skinner, Bailey and Lubetkin for Finsbury Metropolitan Borough, where they had first been commissioned to design new housing in 1937. It replaced bombed housing in Holford Square, and Lubetkin was particularly interested in the fact that it had been home in 1902-3 to Lenin with whose ideals he had strong sympathies.The final irony came with a demand to re-christen the block after Britain's first foreign secretary of the Cold War; Francis Skinner commented that they only had to redesign two letters of the sign.
The staircase is his most idiosyncratic post-war achievement. Of all his work it best demonstrates his belief that, 'a staircase is a dance'. It betrays Lubetkin's background in Russian Constructivism, in the work of Melnikov and Leonidov, but can be seen too as a piece of Baroque geometry given the added power of concrete construction. Lubetkin was fascinated by the geometry of what he called the 'baroque' squares of the area, and this was a personal response to what was in fact Georgian town planning.
The stairs were painted this marvellous shade of red in 2014, which was the original colour, prior to that it was white.
It was a rainy morning in San Diego today (April 28, 2016), but at the San Diego Zoo, the forecast called for snow. One-year-old jaguar cub Valerio and his mom, Nindiri, woke up to an unexpected surprise: piles of fresh, glistening snow blanketing their habitat. The duo appeared cautious when they entered the exhibit, stepping gingerly on the snow, unsure how to react to the novel substance. However, after a few minutes, the pair started exploring, climbing, searching for buried meatballs and showcasing their natural behaviors while enjoying their chilly enrichment surprise. Animal care staff said the cats’ personalities really shined through, and it was fascinating seeing them venture to parts of their habitat they normally wouldn’t explore this early in the day.
The 8-tons of fresh powder was provided through a generous donation to the Zoo’s animal care wish list as an enrichment item for the jaguars. The San Diego Zoo provides enrichment for the animals in its care to encourage their natural behaviors, providing them opportunity to thrive.
Today’s snow day marks the first time this mom and cub have ever encountered snow. Jaguars, whose name means “animal that kills in a single bound,” are native to warmer climates of North and South America. They are the largest cat in the Western Hemisphere, and the third largest of the world’s cats. Unfortunately, demand for the jaguar’s beautiful rosette-pattern fur is one of the reasons this species is listed as near threatened by the International Union for Conservation of Nature (IUCN). In addition, Jaguars are losing precious habitat, and human-jaguar conflicts are causing their numbers to decrease rapidly. There are only an estimated 10,000 jaguars left in the wild. San Diego Zoo Global partners with the Wildlands Network and Latin American conservationists to study, monitor and protect jaguars. Through those efforts, combined with educational outreach to local communities, the San Diego Zoo hopes to decrease human-jaguar conflicts.
I have found a sweet spot to stand to try and get the cheetahs in action, it's a very small sweet spot which means I have to be extra focused and extra quick on my clicker finger.
Playing with the polarizer brings up the deep rich color of lilypads on water with blue sky. Such a great part of kayaking and paddling.
Gasoline and diesel from this Neste filling station is enriched with future ("Praturtintas ateitimi" in Lithuanian).
Anamorphic pinhole taken with film box on photocopy film 4.5x8 cm. Exposure about 3 min, developed in D-76.
The enrichment program provides a variety of entertainment for the animals. I call this little game PolarBall.
This plastic ball contains fruit and vegetables for the wallabies. The little marsupials need to figure out how to get to the food by poking their noses in the round holes.
Dough done mixing after about hour and a half (not including the 20 minute rest for the windowpane test). All this was done in speed 1 of a KitchenAid.
The keepers come up with all different things and objects to enrich the lions play time and sometimes it's the most simple thing that they love.
Thank you all for sharing your amazing images, for the inspiration you are and for enriching my life!
An enrichment experience for the young muntjac deer. This little one arrived at Elmwood Park Zoo in May. I haven't yet seen an announcement about its sex or name, but it is beautiful to watch!
Most often, I post photos of Tatu and Josh, two Masai giraffes who live at the Lehigh Valley Zoo. In contrast, Elmwood Park Zoo, where I also volunteer, has three reticulated giraffes. They're not quite as tall as Masai giraffes, and they're lighter in color.
Here, a reticulated giraffe reaches for some tempting food, hidden in PVC pipe and suspended overhead. This type of enrichment encourages natural behaviors, and keeps animals exploring their environments.
Not only did the zookeepers hide food in this plastic ball, but they smeared the surface with something tasty. Titan had a blast with his breakfast!
The San Diego Zoo hosted a fun-filled birthday party for its guests, during the opening weekend of its annual Play Days event. Guests touring the Harry and Grace Steele Elephant Odyssey between noon and 1:30 p.m. today (Saturday, March 19) were part of the celebration, which featured face painting, a cakewalk and party favors. The party’s guests of honor were the elephants, which were given special enrichment items and were the hit of the party.
A specialty wreath made of stripped branches wrapped with ficus and acacia leaves—in the shape of the number 100—was placed in the main elephant yard by the pool. There were also fruits skewered on branches, which encourage the elephants’ natural foraging behaviors; and animal care staff placed balls in the elephant pool, for female elephants Devi, Tembo and Sumithi to play with.
The enrichment items, which included several cardboard tubes made to look like ears of corn, were created by volunteers at the Safari Park and placed around the entire exhibit. The Nutrition Services department created the frozen treats and the Horticulture department provided special cuttings from plants for the party. Keeper staff was tasked with placing everything on exhibit and setting out the gorilla troop’s usual daily food. Keepers also wrote birthday messages and drew festive pictures in chalk, on the rock walls of the habitat.
Vila, despite being one of the oldest-known gorillas, is in excellent health and continues to thrive at the Safari Park. Keepers say that while she is slower than she used to be, she still plays with the young male gorillas, Frank and Monroe. She has had no recent health issues and is given a daily vitamin, medicine for arthritis and a baby aspirin, for preventive measure.
There are three other western lowland gorillas that are close in age to Vila. One lives at the Columbus Zoo in Ohio (born at the Columbus Zoo in December 1956), one at the Little Rock Zoo in Arkansas (estimated to have been born in 1957, and arrived in the US in June 1958) and one at the Berlin Zoo in Germany (estimated to have been born in 1957, and arrived at the Berlin Zoo in May 1959).
The Safari Park cares for eight western lowland gorillas—an adult male silverback, four adult females, two young males and one young female, who made international news when she was delivered via caesarean section in 2014.
Rory has an enrichment toy. She was 7 months old and weighed around 75 pounds.
Amur tigers (also known as Siberian tigers) are some of the largest cats in the world. They are an endangered species with 500-600 remaining in the wild. Seen at the Toledo Zoo & Aquarium in Toledo, Ohio.
The lions have a new rock pool in their enclosure and although they love it and play in it, I have not seen or heard of them going in for a swim just yet.
I am looking forward to when it warms up to see if they use it as their own personal swimming pool.
Bangladesh is enriched with extensive potential water resources distributed all over the country. Kaptai Lake is one of the most important freshwater body which is the largest man-made freshwater resource in the South-East Asia as well as in Bangladesh. The Kaptai Lake was created by damming the river Karnaphuli near Kaptai of Rangamati district in 1961. This lake was primarily created for hydro-electrical power generation.
Physical Structure:
Kaptai Lake has ‘H’ shaped structure and two arms of this lake is joined near Shuvalong which is a part of Karnaphuli river. Total surface area of Kaptai Lake is 68,800 hectare and average water depth is about 9 meters with maximum depth of 30 meters.
Place : Rangamati , Bangladesh
The gardens around the chateau are enriched with many beautiful statues. Various artists display their artworks here and you can actually buy them if you wish, although that requires a wealthy budget I'm afraid. I rather spend my limited budget on satin skirts and high heels, and then just come here to appreciate the art for free. And maybe to make a little bit of my own girly photography art in the process.
"Enrichment" is provided to animals, partly to encourage behaviors they would have in the wild. This paca would forage for food in South or Central America, rather than finding sliced vegetables in a bowl.

The river hippopotamus habitat was the hip place to be today at the San Diego Zoo. The Zoo hosted a party for its 100th birthday and also celebrated the first birthday of its hippo calf, Devi, who was born March 23, 2015.
The party started at noon when keepers tossed a wreath in the shape of the number “100” into the pool. The wreath was made from the leaves and branches of honeysuckle and grewia plants grown at the Zoo. Devi’s mother, Funani, immediately bit down and chewed on the foliage. Devi ended up putting her head through one of the zeros in the wreath. Animal care staff also tossed two halves of a watermelon into the hippo pool. Funani didn’t immediately eat the watermelon but waited until the currents in the pool brought it closer to her.
Later in the party, Funani showed guests what big teeth she has when keepers used a “water cannon” that sprays into the pool. The hippos move towards the stream of water and open their mouths to catch the water and perhaps clean their teeth.
The hippopotamus is listed as vulnerable by the International Union for Conservation of Nature, known as the IUCN. The primary threats to hippos are illegal and unregulated hunting for meat and the ivory found in the canine teeth, and habitat loss. Hippos can still be found in a number of countries in sub-Saharan Africa.
In a zoo, "enrichment" refers to anything given to an animal to stimulate its thinking and keep it interacting with its environment. Often, food is hidden inside objects; it's part of the animal's "enrichment" plan to figure out how to retrieve it.
Here, Titan, the raccoon, has received an orange cone with food inside. Something beyond his ordinary routine.
