On Alert

Continuing the cuteness from yesterday's post here are a couple of shots of some Meerkats. They always seem to be so watchful and on high alert which adds to their charm I think.

I have again chosen some black and white images  and although black and white can sometimes seem quite cold I think these two shots are really quite warm and with the light and shadows you get a sense that it was actually a nice sunny day.

Whose Shadow?

You may have noticed that I haven't posted anything for a week, what with Christmas and various other things on my mind I just haven't got round to it.  So I thought that I would start up again with a little puzzle. 

Can you work out whose shadows you are looking at in this picture?

Of course, it's a couple of meerkats soaking up the last of the days' sunshine. It really was very cold out there today so you can hardly blame them. They're just so cute. I have a few more pictures of them to share among some of the other creatures I snapped this afternoon so come back and have a look over the coming days.
