I have a 1st and 4th grader and the theme of their school this year is "Wild About Learning". They have a huge banner on the front of the school with a zebra similar to yours and the school t-shirt also has the same zebra. When I first saw the picture I immediately thought of your picture and I sure wished they had know about it because yours is so much better.

This is the most awesome zebra picture I have ever seen!
Congrats for having such a wonderful image!

Excellent, Cheryl. Definitely an in-your face, humorous pose, almost like you shot it with a wide angle from close in. It does seem you have a knack for attracting this behavior based on your recent postings...

Like Bill says, this one always makes me laugh too, you caught it just at the right moment and it really sets the image off on the diagonal.

Love it!!

Cracks me up every time I see it! Gotta laugh also, however, because it also seems that these critters are all looking right at you when they're doing their thing.
