My favorite part of Fantasia is The Dance of the Hours, when the alligators partner hippos. The segment begins with ostrichs — who, with their slender legs and feathered bodies, really do resemble dancers wearing tutus. Let’s take a closer look, shall we?

It’s February! Time to settle back into my rut. For contrast, here are a couple of photos showing the sweater unbelted. Ellie posed a question under Monday’s post, Eiffel Duck: What’s the word on wearing necklaces and brooches at the same time? I shared my thoughts in response to her post … Read more
