Lovely. Very life-affirming. What shall we call that tortoise? Maradona?

He’s a cool one, isn’t he. Maradona seems like a good name for him.

It would have been a great joke if there had been a famous footballer called Shelley. But I don’t think there ever was.

Wow what an amazing photo of the shark. Wonder who was close enough to take it? Even with a zoom. Scary

I think it is probably photoshopped, Tatu, but spectacular for all that.

ahh those were lovely, especially the gardens. Very cheering indeed. I saw the birds in flight were obeying the rules and social distancing. Good for them! Adorable bunny and chick too. Loved the cheetahs – I do like a cheetah or two or indeed three! And cats don’t smile to order you know!
I think the tortoise should be called Denis Law or Kenny Dalglish. Or if you need to go foreign, Pele. Pets need exercise too…

Glad you enjoyed them, PP.
Ahhhh so many names we could call the wee cute tortoise. I think we might get him in the Scotland side.

Pele is good. But for gawd’s sake not Bobby Charlton.

no not BC or any of the 1966 lot. Who apparently won something. It’s hard to know as they never mention it…

Thanks to those who sent in the photos. One cannot compete with the choice. Here is some video from the old Landscape Channel that used to be on cable and satellite TV.

Was reading the sorry tale of the’ War of Jenkin’s Ear’, this site is much more appealing.

I too have bookmarked it for future use. The first 5 minutes were fantastic. And there are 8 hours of it to look forward to. What a magical discovery Marcia.

Thanks Marcia. I have packed that away for those times when sleep seems distant and the mind craves balm.

Sorry to disappoint, folks, but the photo of the shark is a digitally manipulated image done by a Russian guy. Having said that, it’s still an amazing image and Great Whites do leap out of the water, sometimes completely so, when hunting e.g. seals or tuna and there are many genuine photos of them doing so.
Imho Pics 2 & 8 also look a wee bit too good to be true but again great compositions and striking images.
ps – I love the sloth – we’re probably related 🙂
