Not strictly to the rules, (I didn't take the photo) I suspect, but well worth a look:
While Scott Brierley was on a tour at West Midlands Safari Park, located in Worcestershire, England, he managed to drop his phone next to the African elephant enclosure. After Brierley was told to not exit his car, Latabe grabbed his phone, presumably thinking it was food, and in doing so managed to capture quite a selfie. After his phone was returned to him by keepers at the park, Brierley shared that he might be in possession of the world’s first “elfie” — an elephant selfie.

One of my favorite photos is one my Father took in Ashland, ME, circa 1942. It's a pair of horses pulling a plow, with the sun setting behind them. I get up to the Sandwich, NH fair and love to watch the horses work, pulling and twitching. The teams doing the pulling are just so spirited!

[QUOTE=cobrabyte;16816669]visited the local aquarium this past weekend:
Many moons ago Peter Ustinov did a recording Grand Prix du Roc. This reminds me of the line "I am the observer, not you." A hysterically funny recording for those familiar with the personalities of 1950's Formula I, for others, not so much. It is (at least was) back in print.

And a bike pic for good measure I suppose:

Yesterday was a good day. Not pictured is a burger (three of them actually) made by an old lady that had been manning the griddle for 27 years. It was one of the best I've had in a long, long time. Top 10.

Heaven Hill. Yep, that rickhouse holds 20,000 barrels of nectar. I believe they have a little over 50 rickhouses in 4 locations.

a co worker gave me this to give to my 4 year old. My 4 year old was very amazed but it, then broke it trying to transform it. Noob.

The Williams Lake Classic is tomorrow, pre-riding today.
I rode down the Wallkill Valley Rail Trail from Kingston and then played around for a bit. Techy Techy stuff. And, of course, the cave....

I took the kids to the Gilbert Stuart museum today to see a grist mill and go for a hike.
We saw a Black crowned night heron perched on a rock in the middle of the stream.

Tested out the new Wald basket on my Raleigh Superbe yesterday. Damn thing's huge, can now fit the daughter's own little bike and everything needed for a picnic at the park (or in this case, a trip to the café where she can ride around in the courtyard), definitely need a steering stabilizer though.

We went out with a machete for me and a lopper for my wife, this morning, to look in depth at a property we hope to buy. This guy caught my eye as I raised the machete. Unfortunately, the cellphone pic doesn't do justice to its extremely bright green color.

Continuing the theme:
Even with flash I couldn't 'stop' the wings. At iso 1600, and a pretty open lens, it was 1/250 exposure.
