A good and very interesting photo. My first thought was of the Joker, in "Dark Knight Rises."

Now that you mention it, I do see that resemblance. Did not hear the eerie laughter though. Thank you for the nice comment Anvil. Much appreciated.

Thank you merrytexan. It was a very nice autumn day to be out communing with the animals at the zoo.

this is nice shot of an Egyptian Goose [Alopochen aegyptiaca]. Where was it photographed? As the name implies they are native to Africa. They used to be vagrants in Europe. Now they are rampant all through the Rhine, Main and Moselle rivers. They are also in Florida/southern US now and likely moving northward.

one more thing, Hogs. When wildlife is posted it would be useful for wildlife enthusiasts to know where the shot was taken. Feeds into interests and also citizen science projects. Thanks, all. RARman

Great shot, taken in the Richmond area?
Yes, at the local zoo. They roam around freely there.

Nice portrait. She posed so nicely for you. Did you get her email address so you could send here a copy of the photo? I'm sure she would love it.
