And the ones at Whipsnade too, but you have to be patient, at some point they will come down to eat / drink.
And probably sleep too ( for the night) if they have nest boxes.

It took me a long time to figure out that they usually come down between 14:30-15:30

Hey! Mr.C. .. .only 4 more shoehorns and you'll be done! Quite a few good Cultural Japanese artefacts .. strangely on theme. Hope you get better s.... Oh just spotted the Chameleon so obviously feeling better now - got worried for moment. .
 
On theme again, some nice bits of japanese culture, have you misplaced the shoehorn,
nice chameleon too
 
I really like the chameleon, one of your best shoe horns IMHO

:LOL:

The Japanese subject is a good choice for cultural but it looks like a difficult collection to photograph and I find the crop a bit tight.
 
The Japanese theme is good for cultural. :) The lizard is a bit strange.
 
Jap stuff's interesting, a bit lopsided and tight tho. o_O

With hind sight ( and a limited background) perhaps I shouldn't have tried to cram so many artefacts in. :(

I thought it was an illusion, created by the curve of the blade, but looking again, you're right David. b****r!

Thanks for dropping by guys (y)
 
Not quite so cramped ?

Hey boss.
I loved the main thread shot, got the connection immediately. Chuckle. A good sharp image too boot.
Your other shot is very cultured and far too on theme. Excellent image though, more like this and DK might have to remove you from the wall of shame !

Oh b****r! I hadn't thought of it like that, I've got 4 weeks left to make amends, I'd better pull my socks up Eh? :D
 
Great photo for cultural, but the karma chameleon gets my vote.
 
Hi Chris I think I prefer the second version of your 'proper' image for culture it looks a little less cramped.

Great chameleon too it must cost you a fortune in model realises from all of your animals :ROFLMAO:

The Monkey's work for peanuts and the lizards for crickets, so its not too expensive :D
 
susiejb said:
Hi Chris definitely the second image for me, I like all the items but wondering if maybe less would be more o_O

Thanks Susie, you could be right :)

I just like the way the Mara had arranged all the leaves around her in picturesque disorder (y)

Ah! had to google that one, big hamster of guinea pig, looks more like a rabbit. Very nice leaves

Had to google that one, guinea pig or Hamster, she won't like that one. It doesn't actually look very friendly but on a theme note the leaves have arrange themselves very nicely.
(It certainly has been a pig of a week) things surely can only improve.:)

Its a Rodent, a cavy to be precise, so yes an overgrown Guinea pig.

Rabbits and Hares are lagomorphs and not rodents :)
