One of the kangaroos from the Saturday excursion. This will be one of the ones that I submit for the Zoo donation project. I have another that I am feverishly trying to finish prior to Monday.

There was a dominant one that got a bit territorial after the others got too close to me. It would run by but at passing me, it would pound the ground one or two times in passing. "No further may you go". I didn't move, and always knew where that one was at all times. After two passes, it settled down and grazed with the rest of the herd. No other incidents occurred. I just quietly drew and made no sudden moves. All was perfect. What a gift. Truly a gift that there are things more simple yet grand all around.

This too provides incite into your enjoyment of the day. So "Thumper" wasn't too thrilled? Quite a moment. This is new for me to see from you and I enjoy it as much as I do your portraits. Texture/shadow and emotion seem to come easily to you. Fabulous!
