Hi Utenzi! My favourite one is Brown because he looks so cuddlesome - even in close up. Did you feel nervous?
Excellent pics!

These are great. I love the last one. I bet that first one was stinky. I was around some flamingos up close once and I couldn't stand the smell.

Have a good weekend Utenzi!

Great photos Utenzi,

I liked the pinks. of course a girl does. :-)

San Diego has a zoo, and I yet have not gone there!! to play with tha animals and so forth. I went to an animal park when I was in Perth/Australia though. the dears followed me almost all the time because I had food. there I go, I had some thing to contribute. ;-)

I'm being silly today.

The funny thing about flamingos is that even the real ones look almost fake. With my chronic sinuses I probably wouldn't know they smell if they do.

By the way, I fixed my spelling error although I think you might have to be drunk to even think you could drive in Manhattan..... it was 2AM, even I don't function as well at that hour.

Great photos. I don't think you'd want to mess with that buffalo! :D I hope you're having a good weekend. Take care.

Great Pics....interesting mix.....we have buffalo locally on a ranch about 15 miles from our place...they are huge animals and quite rough looking, but the babies like all animal babies are adorable.

Nitroflex at home

Image
I mentioned a few days ago that I'd purchased off of Craig's List an exercise machine. A Nitroflex, to be more specific, for the grand sum of $75. The boxes you see to the left were bought by the seller as discontinued merchandise over a year ago and stored in his back yard storage shed. You might be able to see some of the bugs and such that had made their homes on these boxes. I left them out on my deck for a few days before opening them to allow the insects to leave gracefully or die in the sun. The picture to the left is the pieces from the box, unboxed, and up in one of my upstairs bedrooms. For the most part it wasn't difficult to move it around though two pieces were heavy and a number of them were kinda long and bulky to be wandering about the house with. Surprisingly, this kit didn't require any extra tools. There were two allen keys and one combo wrench included in the boxes and that was all it took to put it together. The whole thing only took about half an h

flea!

Image
Yep, that's one of those damn blood suckers. Renee's revenge on my neglecting her feelings, no doubt. We guys just have it so tough! LOL This here is a picture of my ankle and while it's not very obvious, I guess, there's a bunch of flea bites on there. Itches a bit, dammit. The annoying part is that the damn fleas can't use my blood--fleas are mostly species specific and don't have the proper enzymes to make meals out of blood from other critters--so they're not getting anything out of biting me. It's just frustration and starvation driving their biting. Well, I guess the real annoying part is the bites themselves, but I wanted to seem a little sensitive there for a moment. But no more of that. Kill the fleas! While most of the bites are on my ankles and calves, there's an occasional bite up higher like these 4 on my thigh. They're kinda hard to see through the hair but I wasn't able to focus on the skin with all the hair in the way. Sorry.

ankles: the sequel

Image
I've heard rumors that one post about my sprained ankle wasn't enough so here's more pictures to satisfy a public hungry for swollen flesh... This was taken the morning after I sprained the ankle. There's starting to be a black and blue mark from the blood vessels leaking At this point the swelling is still very localized to the lateral side of the left ankle and presumably that's the tendon that was affected (very likely since I really screwed it up 15 years ago and it's got extra play in it) In this picture, taken on Sunday evening about 25 hours after the injury, you can see the edema, or swelling, has spread out over the top and entire lateral side of the foot. There's also more evidence of hematoma at the skin above the metatarsals. At the same time, there's still significant swelling at the original site to the point that it totally eclipses the left ankle. Here's a lateral view taken at the same time as the photo above to show the hematoma bet
