Why stop now, Denny. I love animals. This is a great series. Great capture of this big hippo. What better thing to do in the afternoon but a nap. Well done. #1256517

Keep them Coming As long as you have them...

Don't think I've EVER EVEN IMAGINED a Hippo & Canada Geese in the same shot. Great Capture.

I know that feeling as I had the same attitude last Sunday.....

Happy Shooting

Terrific capture, Denny -- that pond almost looks too small for that huge guy! #8519692

Excellent addition to your series from your safari...well composed with excellent detail and color. Well timed to get the "waterskiers." (What's the old saying? "Let sleeping hippos lie!") #8519698

Gosh I thought I was seeing my reflection in the lap top here! HA!

I just yawned Denny. Not because of your terrific capture. Love those gliding Canadian Geese, too, coming in for a landing! Bet they just flew in from Vancouver, B.C.!?

The geese in the background are such a wonderful added extra, great timing there. I'm with the others, no need to stop, we are all enjoying your animal pictures. I think we all wish we could be there taking them too. #8610355
