We made a trek to the Toronto Zoo over the weekend and this Great Horned Owl caught my attention. He was perched on the other side of a wire enclosure and with no escape, seemed to be trying hard to ignore all the commotion around him. It was, wear a Halloween costume and get in free day for the kids - so it was busy and noisy. Looking like a Grumpy Gus, he didn't look too impressed with me either as I tried to blur out the wire with a shallow depth of field.
Grumpy Cat said: "Why am I today so gloomy and still scraping windshields? It must surely be April fools!"
YEAH RIGHT!
Spring April's flower blooms, anyone?
Writing lovely 'spring and smiles' poetry?
Why am I still scraping windshields – then?
David, where's the freaking "Global Warming?"
Need to rhyme sometimes, take this one with cheers?
This Trumpeter Swan doesn't look too happy that I am interrupting his beauty sleep. He would open his eyes every once and a while to show he knew I was there haha.
Fynn is grumpy because I haven't allowed him to go outside over the weekend. It was damp and cold and I thought that this kind of weather wouldn't make is respiratory infection any better. He is quite okay, doesn't seem to feel really sick, and of course he doesn't understand why Luan is allowed to go out whereas he has to stay in the house.

I enjoy giving the rock formations names. So I thought this looked like a grumpy old man.
I understand if you don't see it, but I enjoy doing it.
I think I counted doing close to 30 family photos last year, and every one of them wanted to have that group photo of everyone looking straight ahead with award-winning natural smiles on their faces. But we know that’s not the typical emotion felt around the house, so with this one I asked them to all give me a pouty face. I literally had time to snap this one shot before they all busted up laughing. See, personality is fun. And we did get that all-smiles shot as well.
Now for bonus points one of these lovely ladies are pursuing acting. Which pouty female here do you think it is?
Long-nosed horned frog (Megophrys nasuta) - Poring Nature Reserve, Malaysia
I have seen many incredible animals in Borneo; elephants, orangutans, leopard cats, bearded pigs but despite the charismatic mammalian fauna the Horned frog remains one of my favorite bornean critters. These frogs spend nearly all their time on the forest floor where they sit and wait for prey to wander near them, they then swallow their prey whole with their enormous mouths. Interestingly the tadpoles of this species also have large mouths but are not at all predatory, they have modified lips & mouth structures that form a funnel which funnels various particles such as pollen, dust, and bacteria into the tadpoles mouth where the good bits are filtered out. A rather unusual feeding mechanism among tadpoles and not what i would have expected from the tadpole stage of these impressive frowning frogs.
