    What a country! Don't have animals from wilds of Africa? We'll just build some. Great series Doug; it really screams Americana and I love it!

    Awesome closeups!. So, do you wake up early to get these great photos. From the light and color, I would guess your photography starts early morning. I might be wrong. :)

    The latter attracts my attention because I play golf and I love. Others are great fun, they are animals that have nothing to fear from the guns of hunters on safari

    Who said photography had to be a serious hobby? Fun shots to share, as I'm sure they were to take.

    A fun blog Doug. I too lived in California, most of my life, and am now settled in Upstate NY. I will come back often. I read your comment on Melissa's blog today. She does such a great job in what could seem a barren area. Nice to meet you.

    I should have known! I was trying to figure out where all these animals could be located. Mini-golf! Of course!

    Good grief, I haven't played mini-golf in years. Played regular golf this morning, though. Well, I should say I went out and tried to hit the ball. Not a good day on the golf course. :-)

    My eyes first caught at the clever composition with the cloud and the giraffe on your first image, but when I scroll down, I thought the dynamic perspective of the elephant and the zebra are awesome too!

    Very funny animals.. :D
    Well, next time you will win! You call this kind of golf "putputgolf", it sounds very nice. We call it "minigolf".

    Safari z takimi zwierzętami jest chociaż bezpieczne. Pomysłowa seria bardzo ładnych zdjęć. Pozdrawiam.
    Safari with such animals is even safe. An ingenious series of very nice pictures. Yours.
