As the winter months set in here in SC, I Miss these warm sunrise's and sunny mornings in South Florida! I was baptized in these waters too

In honor of all-things-spiky, here's an Giant African Porcupine we found hanging out under our deck last year. Yeah, we were kinda surprised. He loved apples. Turns out he was an escapee from the petting zoo.

he's adorable, but i have a minor observation.

he doesn't seem to be the most qualified animal for a petting zoo...

LOL..no one believes me,but they had a porcupine at a petting zoo I went to as a kid...he was huge,and oddly enough their quills a not so much a soft as they are oily. (his were at least) Very sweet animal,calm....I suppose that was cause he was "tame". I can't imagine if they'd let a mad porcupine out around kids. I can see it now..."Johnny,behave & stop annoying your sister or we'll take to to see the mad porcupine & have him quill you!"

It's ice on my window! I had never seen it make a pattern like that before; it reminded me of feathers. I didn't retouch the photo at all, either.

I'm so jealous of that bird pic! I think I must hate you for being so talented!

I couldn't really hate u though..

 

[Pipp]

Lol Zero thank you. I have so many bird pics I took. I'm kinda obsessed with photographing seagulls. It's kinda weird really

 

[zeroturbulence]

Pipp, did you notice that in the bird pic you not only have an amazingly good angle but the bird is also placed right in that blue band between the white clouds that would have washed out the bird's image? I believe that's another little gift from God.

That seagull picture is pro-quality. Beautiful. Any digital processing?

​I just spit soda out of my mouth reading this!! Thanks alot, itorethesky!!

I used my phone to take the pic... I cropped the rest of the sky out. I used instagram to pick up the low lights under the wings. That's all.

It isn't often you get to see a herd of bighorn sheep right off the road.

This is a lovely picture, Pipp! It is difficult to capture a bird in motion, but you have done it beautifully!

I can never click a good picture.

Took this out a few weeks ago when I was at an African Lodge.
