The Aldabra Giant Tortoises (Geochelone gigantea) are the second-largest species of tortoise in the world and, like their larger relatives on the Galapagos Islands, this species is also restricted to a few islands north of Madagascar.

I was fascinated by seeing this giant dragonfly fluttering in our garden. I've never seen one before. It's probably 4 or 5 times the size of a regular dragonfly, there was a regular one standing next to it and it appeared tiny compared to the giant one! I admit that it gave me both the awe and the chill!

Can you spot the osprey on the tree?

Met I have Giants, with their head reaching the clouds and open arms, on my way back home. Afraid I was, but not for long. Not after I saw that there was nothing to be afraid of those goodhearted Giants. I was to find out that Man was to fear so much more...

I think this is the correct ID. When I was checking it out I found out there were 500 species of Swallowtails. That is a lot. :-)
Two giants moored in the Calandkanaal in Rotterdam harbor (Netherlands).
To get an impression of the size just try to locate the barge moored next to Thialf.
SSCV Sleipnir is a semi-submersible crane vessel (SSCV) owned and operated by Heerema Marine Contractors. It is named for Sleipnir, the eight-legged horse ridden by Odin in Norse mythology. The vessel is equipped with two revolving cranes built by Huisman Equipment B.V., each with a capacity of 10,000 t (11,000 short tons); the main cranes can be operated in tandem to jointly lift 20,000 t (22,000 short tons). It was ordered in 2015 and built in Singapore by Sembcorp Marine. After its completion in 2019, SSCV Sleipnir succeeded Heerema's earlier SSCV Thialf as the largest crane vessel in the world. [source Wikipedia]
Size of Sleipnir is 220 x 102 meter

These Mandevilla flowers with the large, trumpet-shaped petals and a golden-orange throat are called “Giant Peach Sunrise”. I photographed these beauties outdoors at the Enabling Garden in Altoona, Iowa.
I hit a huge milestone yesterday- 10 million photo views.🎉
A huge thanks to everyone for the steady stream of views, awards, and comments- your support keeps me inspired.

The giant otter or giant river otter (Pteronura brasiliensis) is a South American carnivorous mammal. It is the longest member of the weasel family, Mustelidae, a globally successful group of predators, reaching up to 1.8 m (5 ft 11 in). Atypical of mustelids, the giant otter is a social species, with family groups typically supporting three to eight members. The groups are centered on a dominant breeding pair and are extremely cohesive and cooperative. Although generally peaceful, the species is territorial, and aggression has been observed between groups. The giant otter is diurnal, being active exclusively during daylight hours. It is the noisiest otter species, and distinct vocalizations have been documented that indicate alarm, aggression, and reassurance. Threatened. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Giant_otter
Wishing everyone a Peaceful Friday!
Thanks a lot for your visits, comments, faves, invites, etc. Very much appreciated!

It's called the Giants Playground because of the way in which the massive dolerite boulders have apparently been placed one on top of another by some gigantic force, creating strange rock formations and a series of mazes. You'll have to keep your bearings when exploring this maze site. You can easily find yourself a few hundred meters from where you thought you should be.
High-stepping it on the broken jetties that are a part of our lakeshore landmarks.
I walk this lakeshore almost every evening and you would think the photographic possibilities would eventually run out. But no. With a keen eye, a passion for a new image, and a love for nature and people, each outing is an adventure...
The picture above is just what I'm talking about.
Everyday I see and interact with Snowy is a privilege.
What a gorgeous bull.
He truly is a gentle giant.

Sorry for ignoring everyone's photo streams and not posting, Ive been busy and have had zero outdoors time.
BUT:
Got up at 4am yesterday, drove 4 hours each way (I may have an obsession), and spent several hours snorkeling in a creek with these ridiculous giant salamanders. Eastern Hellbender. They don't even make sense as an animal and I love them for it. Theyre the largest salamander in North America and can reach lengths of 2 feet. Theyre also extremely endangered but this population seems to be doing quite well for now. Also happy to finally be back to underwater photography! Not my favorite shot from yesterday but I do like this one a lot.
PLEASE DO NOT ASK FOR LOCATIONS
