The dog photo booth by Sharon Montrose
Thursday, November 27th, 2008
I had a really difficult time trying to choose which photos I should post. Then I did the fatal mistake of visiting her website. Sharon Montrose has the most amazing dog photos I have ever seen.
She also has a baby section and a family section. But I have to admit these were a little too much for me. (Except for the little blond curly kid feeding the ducks at the pond. He reminded me of my little Noah)

Turtle with algae mohawk
Friday, September 26th, 2008
Whats up with these animals? First the polar bear and now this turtle?
This unusual turtle grows a bright green algae mohawk on his head. With one green eye and the other one blue, this has to be the coolest turtle I’ve ever seen (also no other turtle comes to mind).
His nostrils make me think of Fuchur.

Schoolgirl breaks world record for balancing snails on her face
Sunday, August 31st, 2008
Nine years old Tiana Walton of England has set a new world record by having 25 slimy snails slither over her eyes, nose and mouth.
that’s just disgusting!
I wonder if her parents made her practice every day until she got it right, preventing her from seing her friends or playing inside, in this case, until all 25 snails are balanced on her face properly.

tree climbing goats
Thursday, August 21st, 2008
These goats climb the Argan trees in Morocco in search of food.
The locals collect the goats droppings, which contain the kernels of the seeds they consumed.
They press and grind it into oil.
I’ve heard of this oil, but I never knew it originated in goat droppings.
Now that I know, I am sure to use it, just like I am sure to drink Kopi Luwak, made from coffee berries which have been eaten by and passed through the digestive tract of the Asian palm Civet.
