Joliezac's Animal Figure Photography: *October 13th*

Yesterday I noticed that the tree in front of my father's apartment bloomed and it was so pretty! So today I brought a couple of passerines over and took some photos:

This is so beautyful, I get a lump in my throat

Amazing photos, and lovely , wonderful flowers with beautyful birds, - can it be much better ?

Thankyou very much for sharing this perfect dose of spring mood

Thank you Susanne!

Very colourful photos, thanks for showing. The size of the birds works very well with the blossoms.

I wonder how you made them stay on the twigs

Really beautiful all those birds in bloom.
New vibrant colors for new days, at least I hope so. Your pictures radiate hope.

Great photos!!!!!

Finally had some decent weather today so I ran over to the park to get some photos! I can't wait until it gets greener

I just had to get some photos with my new and old salamanders, plus some IC otters that didn't have any photos yet

The salamanders look awesome, being such a large scale makes them look right at home in the scenery, the way you've posed and angled them for the pictures is very reminiscent of real wildlife photography, and even the slightly overcast light is just right for them as it makes the smooth plastic have the exact same sheen as the real thing. Bravo!

Your pictures make a huge, happy smile on my face

Thank you so much George and Susanne! I love how the salamanders are to scale so they can look right at home in their environment!

Exactly Jolie!

It was finally a beautiful spring day and a very special package arrived yesterday with 3 of Papo's new birds!!

So I just had to run out and grab some photos!

I might do a walkaround of the birds later if anyone is interested in that. They are so spectacular I couldn't be more pleased with them!

First I got a few pictures with Safari's IC groundhog

Then Papo's brand-new hummingbird! I love the colors on this one

The adorable Eurasian spoonbill:

And then my favorite, the Eurasian magpie! This old tree had lots of fungi growing on it and I thought it looked super cool so I got some photos around it.

My three Papo birds should be here by Wednesday!

BTW, our favorite eBay dealer just got in the African fish eagle, Charloias cow, and European stag beetle. I had them send me a pic of the beetle and Papo corrected the 'upside down' head! I ordered all three.

Hurray!

I saw that the fish eagle just went up too! I ordered it along with the 2022 boar piglet. I can't wait to see the eagle

These three are really famous ones. They look all fantastic on your pictures.
Walk arounds are always a bonus, why not your favorite?
Oh, as soon as you receive the African fish eagle, I surely want to see it from all angles.
It is also great to know the head of the beetle is correctly positioned.

I love the first picture with the spoonbill and the one with the hummingbird! (even if I am not a fan of the latter model)

The magpie is of course gorgeous, we all know that, but the spoonbill looks so much better with the base and shortened legs hidden! And I really like the cheerful feeling of those groundhog and bunny shots, so springlike and bright with the flowers.

And hurrah for the fix on that stag beetle error! I do hope they issue a new photo at some point so customers know what they're getting when ordering online - I imagine the original mage would put a lot of people off buying it if they didn't know it had since been adjusted.

Thank you everyone!

Roger I can certainly take lots of photos of the eagle if there aren't any by the time it arrives

I didn't even know that the beetle's head was upside down I'm glad they fixed it though!

So many excellent photos! The magpie fungi and the salamanders are especially superb!

Wow! So they read this forum apparently, where I first indicated that error about the promo pic!

Today I went to a lighthouse in my area to take some photos for my class. Of course I couldn't resist bringing a few figures with me

I wasn't expecting there to be so much kelp, I'll have to bring my sea otters & some sea stars next time!
