Some Sunday Morning Worship

Communities in Surin traditionally raised, trained, and lived with elephants, which were kept primarily as working animals. Today, however, the elephants, though still an integral part of Surin tradition, are trained primarily to entertain tourists."

Not Just For Them... But, For Us Too...

Unbelievable... She's like a pup. So, so beautiful...

One more reason to recycle that plastic water bottle. So, it doesn't end up in her Living Room.

Or better yet, just get some from the tap.

Nature. Still the Best Show on Earth.

Alaskan Otter Couple"One of the funniest moments was when I discovered two otters that looked like a couple," says Your Shot member Roman Golubenko. "They were taking care of each other like a loving couple, and they were turning to me as if to get captured for a family portrait." (source of photo)

The Best Show on Earth

I love this. Thank you to my dear friend and stunning correspondent in the U.K., the "butterfly", Lorraine, for this wonderful contribution.

We're a part of this great big beautiful world. Not the owners of it. And the sooner we start behaving that way, the better. Nature. It's still the best show on Earth.
