Description
Hello all!
Another one of my photo captures this week that I did my smudgy hand paintings ( -with the mousein paintshop) on to this to draw out the background in a bold colored impressionistic style...
I sure had fun watching this hungry little bear- i adore these guys so much!~ ( used to collect the little hand clip kuala's when I was a kid in the 70's remember those? lol they were all over my bed posts! )
I found it interesting that the koala gets its name from an ancient Aboriginal word meaning "no drink" because it receives over 90% of its hydration from the Eucalyptus leaves (also known as gum leaves) it eats, and only drinks when ill or times when there is not enough moisture in the leaves, ie during droughts etc.
The koala is one of the only mammals, which can survive on a diet of eucalyptus leaves.
I also got a capture of a baby koala on mama's back but since I already did a gorilla on back last time I opted for the composition of this one.
Thanks for all your time and comments !
Love to you all!
((( BIG hugs )))
~! Kimmers ! ♥ :O)

What a wonderful koala portrait!!! Superb image, Kim!!!
Nice work!!! Well done Kimmers. :o)
My first thought was, "Aww, c'mon! Does all of friggin' Nature pose just for you?!" ... lol! It is a great shot and awesome enhancements. Love what you did with the background. Incidentally, language being my pastime, "Koala" is often said to translate from an Aboriginal language as "doesn't drink" in English. This is actually not true, but they do get all their liquids from eating the Eucalyptus leaves, and accumulated dew or rain. Li
