A re-visit from our plum stealing mule deer. Apparently he's got an itch that just won't quit and this vegetation variety offers the best relief. The eyes say it all 'Oh yes yes yes".
Horses in the pasture at Cades Cove , Smoky Mountains National Park. Poor guy had a big itch , and I just happened to see it . Such a bucolic scene.

We circled the ice floe on which this crabeater seal was resting, waiting for a sign of life. Finally, he lifted one flipper to scratch himself, then went right back to sleep.
The crabeater seal (Lobodon carcinophaga), also known as the krill-eater seal, is a true seal with a circumpolar distribution around the coast of Antarctica. They are medium- to large-sized (over 2 m in length), relatively slender and pale-colored, found primarily on the free-floating pack ice that extends seasonally out from the Antarctic coast, which they use as a platform for resting, mating, social aggregation and accessing their prey.

The region has experienced a large amount of rain. This has led to an overabundance of mosquitoes. Buzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz. This individual is perched on a marigold flower bud.

This is quite literally a post-it-and-run, so I apologise for that.. I have had a quick look at your galleries but will spend more time at a later date. I only arrived home at lunchtime from working away for nearly two weeks, and I'm off again early in the morning!
Smile on Saturday: "(sea)horses"
While I was take pictures of this horse it started to scratch an itch behind its right ear. I thought this made for a more interesting shot.

The African elephant (Loxodonta africana) is a genus comprising of the African bush elephant. They are herbivores and live in groups.
African elephants are highly intelligent. They have a very large and highly convoluted neocortex, a trait they share with humans, apes and some dolphin species. They are amongst the world's most intelligent species. With a mass of just over 5 kg (11 lb), the elephant brain is larger than that of any other terrestrial animal. The elephant's brain is similar to a human brain in terms of structure and complexity; the elephant's cortex has as many neurons as that of a human brain, suggesting convergent evolution.
Elephants exhibit a wide variety of behaviours, including those associated with grief, learning, mimicry, art, play, a sense of humour, altruism, use of tools, compassion, cooperation, self-awareness, memory and possibly language. All point to a highly intelligent species that is thought to be equal with cetaceans and primates.
This bull Elephant came across this huge rock and immensilly enjoyed scratching itself all over its body before returning to the rest of the herd which had moved further on. Photographed on an early morning game drive in the semi-arid area of Samburu National Reserve, Kenya.
The waterbuck (Kobus ellipsiprymnus) is a large antelope found widely in sub-Saharan Africa. It is placed in the genus Kobus of the family Bovidae.
The Defasa Waterbuck is a large, robust animal with long, shaggy hair and a brown-gray coat that emits an oily secretion from its sweat glands, which acts as a water repellent. It also has large, rounded ears and white patches above the eyes, and around the nose and mouth and throat. The common waterbuck has a conspicuous white ring encircling a dark rump, while the defassa has wide white patches on either side of the rump.
This handsome male Waterbuck was captured itching itself during a photography safari on an late afternoon game drive in Tarangire National Park, Tanzania.
