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...

ankle update

S ince a few people object to seeing my feet --poor misdirected souls--I have the two pictures below hidden behind links. Behold them at your own risk! *evil laugh* Actually they're not scary though the first one is a little colorful. T he first picture shows my ankle and foot from the side, as labeled. You can see a lot of general edema of the entire foot. There's also a good bit of discoloration of the ankle area and to a lesser degree the top of the foot all the way down to the toes. The side view is a lot worse in this regard than the top view. T he second picture shows the two feet from the top so you can compare the somewhat normal looking right foot to the injured left foot. There's not much abnormal color on this view but you can see the "sausage like" swelling of the left foot. It's this swelling that is causing my main problem--I can't get the foot into my boots and I need the boots to support the ankle. Damn Catch-22. Side view, looking inward ...

Ostrich poop found here

Image
I took these pictures last Fall while visiting the NC Zoo. On the left you can see what appears to be a nice polite ostrich just wandering around. This impression soon turns out to be false when her dowdy tail feathers raise up and reveal a puckered anus. Ewwww! If you look carefully, you can see that she's made a deposit on the ground. More ewwww! Feel free to click on the image to make them bigger. Details can make all the difference in these shots. In other matters, aren't those really bony legs they have? And couldn't they have a little more color?
