I think I read that the Asian elephant is endangered? I might have to look into that a bit more. I fancy doing a few endangered animals. I saw a fascinating program on telly about elephants in Africa a few weeks ago. Apparently they are losing access to their migration paths because of those nasty humans who keep claiming land and setting up villages. Then they wonder why they get elephants strolling through where they live... Hmm.. not sure. I think I read that the Asian elephant is endangered? I might have to look into that a bit more.

African or Asian elephant? Yup, I’d say a trip to the zoo is definitely in order. African or Asian elephant?

Trouble is, I fancy making an elephant and we don't have any that live locally :D Maybe I should take a trip to a zoo.

Budda has no fear of the camera but my previous cat Oliver didn't like it much. Hey Robert, Ari sounds like a hoot. :) Good for you for committing your cat to art.

Equine paparazzi -- yes, I can just see it. And just see the confused reactions of any human celebrities and big shots when you walk right past their famous faces and go snapping the horse of your artistic dreams. It completely makes sense to me and reminds me of the way I stalk my cat. He has been my favorite photography subject since he was a six week old kitten and he learned that he could get a reaction by dodging the camera. As a kitten his favorite thing was turning around and showing me his butt. I had hundreds of tail shots when he was tiny and very few of the front end of the Adorable Ari. Then he got older, I got a better digital camera, it had flash and he decided he wanted no part of it. Sometimes though, if I sketch him sleeping he won't move even though he hears the pencil and opens his eyes a little to see what's going on. But he demands lots of loving and scritching after the session. The picture is not more important than the warm living purring cat. LOL — I love it. Equine paparazzi — yes, I can just see it.
