Nice image. just a guess but did you take this image at the Los Angeles Zoo? #1422313

Christine Lobsinger level-classic November 11, 2011

Nope, at the San Diego Zoo, the best ZOO around~
I loved it there... my monkeys/elephants (recent work) and polar bears are also from there..
Arthur, I scheduled a "BACK STAGE TOUR" and part of the tour allowed us to feed/brush the animals... The pandas and the kolas were awesome too from there.

I agree, San Diego Zoo is pretty good, Tony & I spent a lovely day there a few years ago. You might be right about the greens, though I'm not sure about living forf 150 years. Good work=^..^= #9798776

Hi Christine;
I love the tones and colors in this image. The tortoise seems to be striking a 'vogue' like pose. Well done.

I never thought about it that way! Right now, I'm participating in a
"5 a day" challenge at work...eat at least (5) servings of fruits and/or veggies everyday for 4 weeks. I'll have to add more greens to mine! :)

Great photo of the Tortoise, btw!
