these birds have been hanging around too many lemmings

This is an exceptional photo! I love photography, but am a fair-weather girl. It looks tooooo cold to venture there, but enjoy the view! Excellent!!!

I have seen similar photos of this over the years but seeing this belly sliding in person is a moment to remember. A Great shot!

How precious is this photo!??!! Gosh, I hope it's real...it comes from The Smithsonian...so I think it is. Lovely!

Just the way I feel coming out of my trailer on a winter day.

Love the picture! Are those Adelies or cliff hoppers or something else. Anyway penguins rule! Keep the penguin pictures coming!

What a wonderful picture! really it's beautiful, sensitive, lovely, spechless, etc. It's one of the best picture that I never ever saw in my life. Thanks for sharing: Miguel A. Yopolo
