I always wonder what God was thinking when he put together such an unusual looking animal!

Sharon said...

What a fierce looking animal but, he doe look quite content with this pond to submerge in.

A RHino!! How cool is that!? Such a clever subject.
I do love your photos and just took a trip back in time thru your blog...you have a wonderful eye for composition. Inspiring.

C'est un plaisantin !

RedPat said...

He's got his eye on you in that 2nd shot!

Kay said...

Fascinating way to capture reflections! I understand that African rhinos are among the nastiest of beasts; I imagine the Asian versions are no more gentle. It's nice to look one in the eye from this sort of safe distance!

I think you woke him up! And he gave you the old evil eye! Don't think I'd want to argue with this guy. But he could be a politician with that thick skin!

These are super sharp, very beautiful photos! Makes me feel like I'm standing next to you!

Oh do Rhinos do a hippo thing. I didn't know that. The ones at our zoo live in a dry patch so are all about kicking up dust.

The berries over at Burnbrae are an ornamental shrub ... vibernum

Unknown said...

@Lowell: Actually, I think I did! :-)

@Joan: The Asian Rhinos do, not the African ones, which might be those you are referring to.
Thanks for the info on the berry.

Does the waterline depend on the weight of the load?
