Wow that is one perfect photo!! Beautiful!
After The march the penguins we have The climb of the penguins.
“When I’m all grown up, I’m going to fly..”
” Nope.”
“But when I’m bigger my wings..”
” Nope.”
“Then I will wish for wings that work.”
” Sigh…”
Stunning.
When your world seems to be circling all around you, chaos at every turn, a lovely picture of tiny creatures, so beautiful in their frailty, so brave, and so strong, it brings back perspective, on what’s important, and what’s not… just precious!
I just completley collapsed. This photo is gorgeous.
What a wonderful photo. Love the chinstrap!
Beautiful photograph. Perfect caption. Loff eet.
What, the curtains?
Ha! You beat me to it
Ain’t that a line from Monty Python…Holy Grail ?
My favorite line.
MINE TOO!!
Why am I suddenly reminded of Mario Lemieux and Sidney Crosby?
I’m going to ask what may be a stupid question, is his little wing supposed to bend like that? For some reason i thought they couldn’t bend so far.
Beautiful photo!
- Hey Mom?
- Yes dear.
- Why do we have these floppy appendages at our shoulders? Can we flap them and fly?
- No love.
- Can we pick up pebbles or eggs with them?
- No.
- Can they propell us at super speeds in the water?
- I wish, dear
- Then why do we have them?
- Only the Great Penguin knows, dear.
LOL Oh dear, now i feel bad for pointing it out!
