His yellow feet fascinate me. I can see why it might have been hard to decide what to use and where.

Added a LOT more pictures I didn't get a chance to before. Alice, feel free to use any of the images, and tell me if you want more.

Oh no, I was just wondering what you wanted it for. You're perfectly free to use it, I would be delighted. I have more pictures like this if you want.

Duta, I don't think my last message got through. I just wanted to put your pictures with the credit to you on my Facebook page so others could see them. No harm intended. Alice
