22°C, sun & showers


Image of the day: Visit the zoo. the charm of the beautiful animals made up for the noisy people there. Later in the day produced the most charming image as the rain showers became heavier. the picture is rather hard to discern but it has a Stork standing in an open shed during some quite heavy rain, sheltering. The photo of this looks quite poor on the computer so I wil have to draw it instead. For now, today’s photo is of the other delightful looking creature- the Tapir.
 
Bat-eared foxes are the only Canid to forgo eating meat, instead favouring insects. They specialise in termites and the big ears are for listening to the insects underground. You have ot picture them intently looking down ears focussed on the ground. The only view I could get was of a pack asleep.

Linseed: bubbles layer. That went well enough, this picture looks like it will be finished tomorrow.
