Wide Angle Wednesday - Animals

I was at a loss as to how I was going to capture the subject of this weeks Wide Angle Wednesday as animals are in short supply here at the beach. I shot a few bird photos this morning, but they were very ordinary, certainly not befitting a challenge. Then I remembered I have a built in animal subject in our stuffed traveling companion - Balboa (for a Balboa history, see this entry). I placed him in a number of different environments, but it wasn't until I put him in front of this painted crocodile (another animal, yay) that it all came together. Thanks BobsBlips for hosting.
