Today I am grumpy, not the grumpy you may be used to… more the grumpy from the everyday morning, boring normal dark trap AND feeling like fixable crap. So many issues weighing in within. So many proverbial tissues making you give in. Say NO to that. Bounce back! Show the world you are spinning the grumpies out dammit…that’s it. Smile awhile while the troubles gather in rubble pile outside. Find some joy today, turn on some music you enjoy…and spin like a child’s colourful, colourful spin top toy.

The hippopotamus is one of Africa's most dangerous animals, and one that can be under-estimated.

Hippos are very territorial and short-tempered, and on land they can run at speeds of up to 30km/h. Even in water, they will charge at boats which come too close to them.

Here, we were at a watering hold for a sundowner at dusk, and from the banks, we photographed this hippo in the soft light.

Choc just woke up!-everyone make sure to vote on the We Love hamsters! :3 July contest!!!

How to make sure nobody sits at your table.

This was me yesterday morning. Today, I am much younger.

Actually "Get Stuffed" is just the name of the café. He's probably a very happy little pensioner.

Nah...!

Boberg / Hamburg

ok it was raining and cold and windy...

Having spent much of the week in London I know exactly how our cat Elijah felt on Friday evening...there was not going to be much action...so this mobile shot converted in Topaz Impressions will have to suffice for my photographic endeavours for the day.

After studying some videos from Scott Kelby, Calvin Hollywood and Joel Grimes I finally tried to create this effect. I hope you like it

Got nowt else to photograph and even snuggle-brothers Chewie & Midge won't pose for me. For the 4th time in a row I didn't see or hear any sign of foxes tonight, not sure it's worth carrying on with. Sorry for being miles behind again, just having a good old fashioned sulk

was out of his enclosure for a moment while he got fresh water. He's a Banded Gila monster (Heloderma suspectum cinctum). Gila monsters are venomous and are native to the Southwestern United States. A peptide in their venom has been synthesized into an insulin replacement treatment for diabetes. "Grumpy is most likely about 22 years old. Gila monsters may live more than 30 years.

Definitely my grumpiest couple, Vaughn and Nomiki. I haven't taken pics of them together in ages! Vaughn needs to be completely restrung, with new elastic and all, and poor Nomi's wig is getting old and showing the cap too much in his part. Unfortunately, it's a long sold out Luts wig. Maybe I could get something to replace it from Crobidoll, in their 8/9 section.

Anyway, I do love these two boys and their story, and really should try to do more with them! Guess I need to dig out my extra elastic so that posing Vaughn isn't such a big fat pain in the ass. >_<;

Rainy afternoon at the Assiniboine Provincial park
