Saturday Smiles ... and low carb Pizza Frittata

From time to time we post something completely different …
Like these photographs from the 2021 Comedy Wildlife Photography Awards.

~ I hope they start your Saturday off with a smile ~


Raccoons - Chinese Whispers - Jan Piecha


Brown Bear - Peek-a-boo - Paul Marchhart


Gentoo Penguins - We're Too Sexy For This Beach - Joshua Galicki

The Comedy Wildlife Photography Awards was co-founded in 2015 by professional photographers Paul Joynson-Hicks MBE and Tom Sullam who wanted to create a competition that focused on the lighter side of wildlife photography and help promote wildlife conservation through humour.

This year, the competition is supporting Save Wild Orangutans by donating 10% of its total net revenue to the charity. The initiative safeguards wild orangutans in and around Gunung Palung National Park, Borneo.

“We were overwhelmed with the number and quality of entries we received this year, with well over 7,000 photos submitted from every corner of the globe,” says Paul Joynson-Hicks. “It was an amazing turnout, especially given the impact of the pandemic. The huge number of images we receive every year illustrates the appetite there is to engage with conservation and reminds us that wildlife truly is incredible and hilarious and, we must do all we can to protect it.”

  2. These are great. Raccoons remind me of a camping trip when they tried to get into our tent in the middle of the night, and we didn't even have any food in it. Thanks for sharing. And happy weekend to you.
