I love it! Emperor penguins are so cool

Thanks! Yes! I actually learned something about them when I was trying to find a reference. I guess there's a King penguin that looks similar, but the markings around the neck is how you can tell them apart.

Oh wow! I've never heard of a King penguin. That's funny that there are Emperors and Kings!

I love these! We visited NZ this year but didn’t get to see any Keas! I hear they are clever troublemakers

Wow! That is so beautiful! I love the light and shadows, and I love the bright colors and the foliage offsets it so nicely!
