He looks very perky in the second photo. Doesn't appear to be injured.

Almost Mourinho-esque that CT! For some unknown reason, I cant remember the game though when he was unhappy with some incidents and rattled off the times during the post match interview.

These are winter photos..... but a Kenyan winter. 35 degrees, and a strong wind, meant there was plenty of dust. Managed to get a couple of weeks photography in at the start of the year. These are some of my favourites from the first couple of days

Those first two are as good as any wildlife pix I've ever seen, could make a good cover for National Geographic from the cub-in-mouth one. Be good to see any others.

Poor cow.
Can any farmers explain why farmers put the feeder directly inside the gate? all that sh1t, outside the gate. is spread all down the lane and the poor cows have to stand in that slop to feed.

Long time no speak. As for the horse photos would you mind if an artist friend of mine used one as the basis of. Painting. As a naturalist I have to say I’m mightily impressed by your work.
