I would say that this steer was keeping an eye on me, but this picture was taken from a moving vehicle through some land where they raised grass-fed cattle. I would like to think that maybe we made some cosmic connection for a millisecond, but I’m guess the steer was just happy the fence was…

At the Brookfield Zoo outside of Chicago they have an area called the Pachyderm House, where, if lucky, you can see a hippo. On this day I was hoping for a more active hippo picture, but, and a hungry hippo is wont to do, it was time to eat.

There are times various body things get in the way, like maybe your hair getting in your eyes. Poor you! The antennae on this bug-looking creature might be necessary for catching signals, but they sure look like a bitch to carry around.

Sometimes it is good to stand out in a crowd, but other times it’s good to blend in. On the Big Island of Hawaii, the black crabs look scary against the white sand, but on the lava rock, not so much.

A bee has a job to do, and lucky for the bees they get to see some of the most beautiful flowers doing their jobs. I wonder if they appreciate the beauty of the flowers, like this salvia from Ball Horticultural.
