Okay, that isn’t a real photo of me getting charged by a bull elephant… it is me Photoshopped in front of a fake elephant at the zoo… but it does dramatize the point I am about to make…

I always feel bad when new people follow me during one of those rare times when my blog is doing something ‘normal’… like posting pictures of animals… especially when the new followers have blogs with the word ‘photography’ in their title…

Because someday… and it will be a day very soon… these poor souls will open my blog and see a picture of Trump Photoshopped into some crazy situation… or something really weird…

And if you pop in expecting a photo of an orangutan eating honey out of a hole in a fake rock with a long stick…

It might come as something of a shock…

I mean, I just want you to know…

… that if you come here expecting to see endless nature pictures…

… you might be swimming in the wrong pond… just sayin’…

Yes, I like photos of a rhino getting his chin scratched as much as anybody…

But this blog is really more like a zoo… and it is full of wild and weird things…

So if you want to leave, I won’t take it personally…

Go ahead… turn your back on me… sniff…
