Week 33 Camouflage.
Shoe horn #1
Tigers stripes are disruptive camouflage when hunting through the jungle
If the lazy SOB's can be arsed to get up!
Shoe horn #2
The Sloth Bear ( Baloo from the jungle book is modeled on these) is so rarely seen, its camouflage is something to behold.
I was lucky that I caught it de-cloaking and yes that is rain just for a change
And last but not least Where'sWally? Harry?
Its gonna take ages to get that muck off him the dirty sod! ...

Cheers for not noticing the slight shoe horn Tim, I know this one was subtle
And Baloo was a lazy sob. aka a Sloth bear
Allegedly yes, they have massive claws (remember the song about paw paw?)

I thought that too, thanks for not noticing them all Dom

I see you've lost Harry again this week

Tiny; Nice Bee pic Chris and those pollen grains show up really well.
Snapper's Choice: Never seen a Bonsai Fuschia before. I'd be interested to see it's progression.

Cheers Pete
The fuchsia, its old root stock, that was growing in the ground, until last spring ( 2019) it'll get cut back hard shortly, the idea is to expose the gnarly old wood
and to encourage thick short "branches" but also keeping it compact.
It'll stay like that for awhile ( maybe a couple more years) until it's ready to transplanted into a small bonsai pot.

Thanks DaveInteresting bonsai in training. Keep us updated on its progress
And will do, but it's a slow process, taking several years to complete,
and not the ideal hobby for someone with little patience ( like me
)Cheers Clive

Week 36 Textures
Obviously Not my normal thing TBH but I saw it and thought of this weeks theme.
So rather than shoe horn .....
Oh Go on then since you asked so nicely
Heavily textured Mum ( one horned Rhino) and smooth as a rhinos bum, baby Rhino
I even left the rusting bars and chains in for more effect, along with ripples in the sand ( substrate)
But its still cute nonetheless

I like them both Chris. The fungus is a bit other-worldly and the baby Rhino is ever so cute.
