Cute Photographs of Dogs Shaking

PauloGabriel — Wed, 21 Dec 2011 11:42:43 +0000

I know this is completely unexpected. It is probably the most specific subject ever thought for a post, but hey, we all love dogs around here (at least most of us). I find really cute and funny how dogs shake off things from their fur, so that's why.

And it's a great moment for dog owners, or parents, depending on the level of excitement there. Anything their dogs do (outside the carpet) will cause the owners' heart to melt... I know because I had a dog in my childhood and most likely will have another one in a couple years from now. Anyways, these are some hand picked photographs that I find really heart warming. You should really check out each photographer's portfolio for more pictures of these doggies, simply by clicking each image. They will cheer up your day for sure! I hope you enjoy these. Cheers! ;)

guest — Wed, 30 Nov 2011 18:16:39 +0000

Apart from human begins, animals are also a favorite subject of photos because most of them look adorable, and we all love to capture their cute and funny movement. Cuteness is usually characterized by some combination of infant-like physical traits, especially small body size with a disproportionately large head, large eyes, and round and softer body features.

We have collected the following 30 Most Adorable Cute Animal Photos. All of these cute animals are captured by talented photographers around the world. These amazing photos can give you a smile and possibly melt your heart.

Astonishing Photographs of Weird Creatures by Daniel Stoupin

PauloGabriel — Wed, 23 Nov 2011 16:22:20 +0000

These seem to have come straight out of a sci-fi movie. These are some alien-looking animals that photographer Daniel Stoupin captured through microscope observation.

These creatures are so weird to us that we would never expect that such tiny animals would look this different. Some even look like meteors in outer space. For more of Daniel's amazing work, you may visit his portfolio at Behance, and there you may even check a video of these little guys in motion. I hope you enjoy these. Cheers! ;)

Animal photography is one of my favorite kinds of posts. To search for furry, little animals is truly relaxing, and man, aren't these Ferrets just the coolest animals ever? I want one. Seriously.

After seeing flying dogs, we really needed to take a look at these über cute pictures of ferrets. I wonder if it's legal to have them as pets in Brazil. Does anyone know? Anyways, here are some great ferret photographs taken by some amazing people. You should really check their flickrstreams out for more great photography (just click each image to go to their pages). It's really worth the visit. I hope you enjoy these. Cheers! ;)

Wildlife Photography by Nick Brandt

aloa — Tue, 02 Nov 2010 17:44:15 +0000

To shoot photos like Nick Brand you must have a lot of patience. His ability to capture the wildlife is enormous, like I haven't seen before.

“African wildlife has never looked so regal and mysterious as in Brandt’s grave photographs. His elephants appear as weighty as the pyramids. His rhinos look more ancient than carbon. His apes know something we don’t. Given the multitude of human disasters in Africa, is it an indulgence to lose yourself in pictures that carry no hint of the wars and famines outside the frame? Not when the pictures are such powerful reminders that Africa is also a magnificent—and endangered—treasure house of animal life." - Time Magazine

Look out for his newest exhibitions on http://nickbrandt.com/

Wildlife of Vietnam by Brendan Wenzel

PauloGabriel — Fri, 15 Oct 2010 04:33:09 +0000

If you don't have enough cash to travel to an exotic country and get to know their biodiversity, a good alternative is to learn these things by other people's experience. In case you're wondering what animals in Vietnam look like, Brendan Wenzel shows us.

These illustrations belong to a series called "Wildlife of Vietnam", with over 50 pieces like these. Here are only a few examples of the this great set. Brendan styles is pretty cool, kinda loose and unpretentious. I sure like it a lot. For more pieces of this series, you may visit Brendan's blog. He'll appreciate it. I hope you like these. Cheers! ;)

Spirit Animals Book Giveaway - The Winner

fabiano — Thu, 03 Dec 2009 17:17:46 +0000

Today we will announce who won the copy of the book Spirit Animals. Last week we had a lot os comments and we're very proud to giveaway this book to one of our readers. Just to remember the book is amazing and if you're not the winner, go take yours, I'm sure all of you guys will love it!

About the Book

Long ago, many cultures regarded certain animals as reflecting a person's true essence, as a link between this world and the spiritual realm. Today, this cosmic connection has become a cultural touchstone for a new generation. This illuminating book explains how to connect with and channel the unique powers of 40 different spirit animals. Featuring a menagerie of creatures—from the wise owl and crafty fox to the tranquil turtle and bold lion—each entry provides a detailed description of the animal's personality, mythology, and innate powers. Helpful text provides readers with clues and meditations for discovering their own spirit animal as well as information on how other animals can be called on to help with specific desires—from overcoming fear to finding true love.

THE WINNER

And the winner of the book Spirit Animal is:

Charlote

I think my spirit animal is the snake.I was born on the year of the snake, and somehow got some of its characteristics. Snakes are calm and silent creatures, yet deadly when provoked. I do think I got my calm and silent personality from them, and though I'm not deadly when provoked, I can say that I won't be nice and joke to go around it. Snakes are said to be lazy, but while being at their laziest times, their mind still keeps on ticking. This goes for me as well. Even though I'm lying in my bed, there's still something cooking on my head.

Congratulations Charlote, we'll contact you via email!

Some more pictures about the book for those who didn't see yet!
