Two blue crane chicks stand in their enclosure in the zoo of Hanover, northern Germany on July 12. The two chicks hatched on July 6 and 7, 2011. The blue crane feeds on insects, roots, fish, frogs, worms, crabs and even reptiles and small mammals.
We've seen some awfully cute photos from the zoo lately. Here's one from today.

Lions, Binta, left, and Chalid are seen in their enclosure of Hanover Zoo in Hanover, Germany, on Nov. 5.
A coworker and I cracked up when we saw this picture, thinking that the lioness looks as though she is nagging her downtrodden "husband" who is trying to tune her out. Do you think the same, or are we bringing our own, um, "baggage," for lack of a better term, to the picture? It's always interesting to hear what thoughts or feelings others take from an image, based on personal history that they may either consciously on subconsciously apply to the viewing experience.
