Goodness Leachy :big_eyes: close encounters of an animal kind. Lovely pictures of the Sandpipers... and :hmz: :hmz: :hmz: :hmz: :hmz:

I have heard of Zebra being bullies and sometimes being responsible for the death of foals... strange that he turned on a poor little impie :( I hope the little one was ok.

so..............................

after these 20 shades of grey

:redface: :redface: :redface: :redface: :redface:

we moved on

and a while later found these impala

.
.
Image
.
.


and this impala doing her llama impersonation......
.
.
Image
.
.


so.....

:hmz: :hmz: :hmz: :hmz:

if this is the expression an impala has when alarmed ...

so an alarmed impala looks like alarma or rather like a llama......

when alarmed.....


:hmz: :hmz: :hmz: :hmz:

and then.......

:dance: :dance: :dance: :dance:

the piggies amusing themselves

as they would run away whenever a vehicle stopped....

.
.
Image
.
Image
.



then return to graze...


.
.
Image
.
Image
.
.


and then run away again as the vehicle drove off......
.
.
Image
.
.
Image
.


then......

off to my random waterhole on the s21 where i was entertained so much the previous december.........

:cam: :cam: :cam: :cam: :cam:

i arrived just in time to see this dagga boy at the end of what must have been an epic struggle against

dick terrapin and the tail eating terrapins......

the stuff that TNA wrestling is all about........

:think: :think: :think: :think: :think:

( do your own one here.......
T ................................
N ............................
A ................................. )


.
.

.
.

as you can see he has two of the terrors attacking his lower back

while the rest of the armada are attacking from below

.
.
Image
.
.


lurching up from the murky waters to get a grip on his nether regions

:evil: :slap: :evil: :slap:
.
.
Image
.
.
Image
.
.


eventually he succumbed

:( :( :( :(

and was pulled back into the water


.
.
Image
.
.


with the victorious shell clad villain firmly in place


then the winged peckers arrived and they had a lot to say about this bout.. :rtm: :rtm: :rtm: :rtm: :rtm: :rtm: .............
