268: Reflection of clouds

The Botanical Garden in Belo Horizonte forms a complex with the Zoo, at the edge of Lake Pampulha. The garden is divided into several thematic gardens, including a collection of cactuses, succulents, plants that grow in the local savannas, desert plants, and an interesting collection of plants from the tropical Atlantic and Amazon rain forests. There are also some ponds with aquatic plants, where you can find many dragonflies. On this semi-cloudy day, I noticed the reflection of clouds on the water surface, good for an interesting composition.

114. Sleeping porcupine

MARCH 2007: Sleeping porcupine

The ZOO in Belo Horizonte is located at the margin of Pampulha Lake, and hosts about two hundred different animal species. Most visitors will immediately go to see the monkeys, and the gorillas. Others prefer watching the giraffes and elephants, how they are having their daily routines. Also the lions, the tigers, and the jaguars can count on many interested visitors. However, not too many people will visit the smaller animals, like this porcupine. Most of the time, these animals stay inside their cages, and only go out at day for some short walk, or on the way for their daily meal. Therefore, it was not a big surprise to watch this porcupine sleeping like a baby. It looked so innocent, like it was sound asleep, and maybe dreaming about its food to arrive. You almost wanted to come close and stroke it. But… be careful with its spines!
