This young man is going to turn out to be just as great as his Father, how I still miss him. He was my idea of a "Man's Man", I'm a Man too but I envy Steve and I believe Robert is going places and doing things with his life.

Glorious and dramatic! May these images ensure the continuation of species. Without such photos, should the species fade from existence, humans will be reminded of the devastation they caused. As such, perhaps these images will help humans to wake up and protect, instead of rape and plunder this planet.

There are a number of species of smaller birds that, apparently, have no idea how small they are. There are a number of species of larger birds, apparently, that have no idea how big they are. (Red-wing blackbird chasing osprey.)

I know it sounds hokey, but, after all, humans are only recent an ''invasive species'' to Australia (assuming that is where this guy is from). Therefore, it behooves these invaders to try to co-exist with the native species as best they can for everyone's benefit. Not sure I'd be comfortable there initially, but I'm certain the beautiful places everywhere would win me over ! p.s. I think this guy is awesome......

It amazes me how the brain puts all that visual perception together and makes a picture. I wonder how it looks. Does the spider choose which eyes to see with then switches to another set? Or, do they all see and and the brain maps it altogether for a panoramic view that we can only due with a camera or smart phone. Food for thought.

If Steve were able to speak from beyond the grave, I'm certain he would hold no resentment what so ever towards the animals that caused his tragic end. He died doing what he loved, an unfortunate victim of circumstance. His son does an amazing job keeping his legacy alive, and in that sense, Steve Irwin never died.
