This is a sweet story about a young boy who befriended a colony of marmots while on a nature vacation with his family 4 years ago. Each year the family returns to the same place in the Alps where the marmots are waiting for a boy named Mateo. More pictures and story here.
Really. Have you ever seen a better one? The round window is wonderful. I love the way the glass fronts on the cabinets cast reflections of outside. It's perfect. You're welcome. via
Awesome photo. These elders don't look at all angry, but friendly. Elephants are such magnificent animals and because of their ivory tusks their numbers are diminishing in Africa at an alarming rate. All because of the huge demand for ivory in China. via
