The End
I decided to go to the San Diego Zoo this morning, which means I made two trips this week instead of just one. Annual passes come in handy.
As I was cataloging some of the pictures just now — as well as playing around with layers and masks in both Photoshop CS6 Beta and PaintShop Pro X4 — I came across a perfect picture to end the day:
That is the rear end of a Grant’s Zebra (Equus quagga boehmi), the smallest of the six Plains Zebra subspecies. It is native to Africa and is not endangered. Since it was eating at the time, having its head in the food trough, all I could get was a picture of the rear end.
I’ve titled the picture “The End.”

Haha!
Are you laughing at me? I’m now hurt, distraught, depressed, and down in the dumps. I think I’ll go look for some more ending pictures. lol
I liked the bum photo and was extremely relieved that it wasn’t ‘the end’ of your blog which is what I assumed when I saw the title. I would never laugh at you only with you!!!
Good. Now I’m not hurt, distraught, depressed, and down in the dumps anymore. I think I’ll go have a piece of cherry apple pie with a dollop of vanilla ice cream. lol
i’ve never seen a skinny zebra before, neither in zoos nor the documentaries, even in drought seasons. any ideas russel?
It wasn’t skinny, just small. It’s the smallest of the Zebra species, and this one is actually a subspecies.
Very,,,,nice,,,,,composition, Russel. I like the pattern on the tail.
REPENT! The end is near.
Yep. I have decided to dispense with this political season because none of it will matter after December 21, 2012. lol
Lol i did not expect that picture lol! Great angle lol
Perfect…I’m finally catching up on blogs; about 3500 emails to sort! Thanks for your patience!
