Oh those are just gorgeous PT. I particularly love the one from the Paint Festival! 😀
It looks like a painting itself, doesn’t it?
Absolutely! 😆
these are amazing shots, thanks for passing them on to us )
good capture
I like the giraffes image best but I’m sad that it’s depicting zoo animals. Large animals are in dire straits as our species continues to destroy their habitat. SIGH
I love the giraffes too. We can only hope that pictures from the zoo might raise awareness of their plight in the wild.
Okay make that animals both large and small and indigenous peoples are in dire straits as in dire straits as we continue to destroy their habitat and their way of life. SIGH
We have a lousy record when it comes to respecting indigenous species of all kinds.
