I know what you mean Lai. Every week you have to seperate the good from the bad. Some are lovely to see and others I wished they hadn't bothered.

Yes, that's true, and I suppose then it highlights the issues and maybe something can be done about it. But sometimes it is quite beyond belief!

Having said that, I always look forward to seeing them, as there are always some wonderful photos in the selection.

I look forward to seeing them too Lai and some do really make me smile but like you I also hope the ones that don't make me smile will raise awareness and things will change, so I suppose it's not all bad.

I agree with you both.

But then I think to myself thoses that look at these picture and are saddened and annoyed with what they see have a heart. Thoses that dont care need to think again!

I really agree with you there SM. In another post I put on today about the songbirds it said in there that you often hit people harder through the press than you can in the field to raise awareness. I think thats quite true, so to keep posting these weekly pics is a good thing.

Some really stunning photography there - and i loved the fact we didnt have any circus animals/dancing bears etc being made to perform.

The patience some of these photographers have is really quite something!

Glad you liked the pics. I thought there were some stunning ones there and it was lovely to see Machali and her daughter, the Tigers from Ranthambore. We have read about them before and I also believe we have seen pics from Cassio and Ale on there trip to Ranthambore National Park.

**littlewid** Mon Feb 14, 2011 10:22 pm

Glad you all liked the pics, they do seem to be putting up wonderful animal ones lately and not performing animal ones which is much better.
I also liked the way they are trying to get people to appreciate Polar bears by swimming the other side of the glass, I bet thats a real experience.

**whitestarling** Mon Feb 14, 2011 10:28 pm

Thats true LW. I posted a pic about that with an ariticle that showed two children swimming just in front of the Polar Bears. It looked really scary when you first saw it untill you read there was glass in front. I bet it's a great experience
WS

**littlewid** Mon Feb 14, 2011 10:32 pm

Oh I missed that one WS, I only saw the pics in this weeks pics of the week. I will go and have a look for it.
