Today I visited the Blijdorp Zoo in Rotterdam and ofcourse I did visite the prairiedogs .....again!
This cute couple were playing and at this moment it looked like they were giving each other a kiss.
I guess his is love :-)

From the internet:

A Day in the Life of a Prairie Dog:

Prairie dogs spend most hot summer days sleeping and are active above ground mornings and evenings. In cool or overcast weather, prairie dogs may remain above ground all day. They emerge shortly after sunrise, and return to the burrow around sunset. Rain will often drive them to retreat underground.

Prairie dogs have specific activities to perform. A typical day is divided between foraging, interacting with others, maintaining burrows, and scouting for predators. Typically within each coterie, one prairie dog acts as the sentinel, standing on the mound and watching for predators. If danger is detected, the "look-out" warns the other colony members by emitting a series of bark-like whistles, and drop to safety inside his burrow.

Hoi Nel,

Ze staan d'r mooi op, die twee. Ja, wie weet is dat wel liefde. :-)

De foto is prima. De beestjes komen mooi los van de achtergrond.

groeten,
Joop

Have they no shame?!!! Haha, just kidding. I really like the closer cropping and the shallow depth of field that makes this amorous couple pop out. Great detail and clarity, good POV, I would maybe increase the saturation JUST a couple of notches to add more warmth to the shot, as that would suit the theme ;). It would have been perfect to get both prairie dogs in total profile, but excellent anyway, and great that it turned out so sharp like that (animals are hard to take pictures of). TFS!

Nicely captured image Nel. A cute image which would only have b een improved by them being a little more co-operative with the one on the left being less camera shy ;-))

Wat een lieverdjes Nel,
Als ik naar de dierentuin ga kan ik bijna niet fotograferen omdat de kleinkinderen aan me trekken, zal ik toch gewoon eens in mijn uppie moeten gaan.
Ze zijn om op te vreten zoals ze daar staan.
Hartelijke groet

What a nice and cute one Nel! This is too much! I love the light and expression in their eyes, details, exposure and composition are very good. Colors and BG are superb. This is lovely, well done! Thanks,
Claudine

zijn verschrikkelijk leuke beestjes en je hebt ze er mooi opgezet nel! misschien dat je de kleuren nog meer kunt laten spreken wanneer je wat speelt met de saturation?
vind het een mooi actie shot dat je hier hebt gemaakt,
