A few nice photos of animals images I found:
Watch For Bambi!

Photo Walks 11/52: A deer crossing off of Lakeshore Drive. It's weird how many animals I seem to have to watch for. Ducks, now deer.

Parallel universe - Parallelwelt

To the world, you're just anybody, but to someone, you're the world.
Erich Fried
Shellyfish in Shanghai Ocean Aquarium.
Jellies have roamed the seas for at least 500 million years, and possibly 700 million years or more, making them the oldest multi-organ animal.
The scenario act like an universe, indeed without suns, moons, stars and planets as a whole creation, but with jellies as a harmonic world. Man is standing before with amazement in order to comprehend the subject first in extracts.
True to the principle of the Greek philosopher Aristotle "the whole is more than the sum of its parts".

Quallen bevölkern seit mehr als 500 Millionen Jahren die Weltmeere. Diese Qallen sind im Shanghai Ocean Aquarium aufgenommen. Im Hintergrund lief übrigens klassische Musik. Ich stand über eine Stunde staunend vor den Quallen.
Das ganze Szenario wirkte wie ein Universum auf mich, nur dass keine Planeten, Sonnen, Monde und Sterne zu einem Ganzen zusammenfinden, sondern Quallen bilden das harmonische Ganze und der Mensch steht staunend davor, um erstmal einen kleinen Teil zu erfassen.
"Das Ganze ist mehr als die Summe seiner Teile."

Happy Tails: Kira

Here are a few photos of Kira, our bunny that we adopted on January 11. She was a wonderful snuggle bunny, and in a younger life, could have been a good therapy rabbit – one of the pictures is my Mom when she was staying with us while my Dad was in the hospital. Kira was the kind of animal that brought you peace just by letting you hold her.
Kira passed away yesterday at Eastridge Animal Hospital, under the care of Dr. Balonek. Sunday evening, when we took her out for her foot bath and some playtime, we saw that she was ill – she had runny eyes, was shivering, and didn’t want any of her treats, or any food at all. We called Dr. Balonek. He took her in overnight to re-hydrate her, treat her eyes and get her feeling better. He called me around 1 pm yesterday, to say that she had peacefully passed on.
Last year, when it was apparent that no one would tend the vegetable garden we put in at home, I painted a sign “The Bunny Garden," placed it in our overgrown vegetable patch, and left it to the bunnies. Kira is buried in the Bunny Garden. We sprinkled wildflower seeds over her, and hope they will be a beautiful blanket once spring comes.
I had intended to write a long letter to Mindy after she sent us some great information on Kira and bunnies in general. With family health problems taking up my time, I wasn’t able to do that. I want to thank her for her help, and let her know that Kira was so loved and cared for. From the moment we saw her, we knew she was our bunny, and when she came through our door, she was part of our family.
