This month's photo: Black and White ... but not in black and white

The theme, this month, is black and white but it was absolutely forbidden to take a photo in black and white! would have been too easy...

As per usual, I give you my thinking path to get to this photo:
First I thought about our wedding photos R's tux and my dress (don't assume it was white...) but I don't do private photos on the blog...
Apart from that no more ideas...
R suggested Rochester park in Singapore which has some unusual black and white houses and that was the official idea until we went on a trip to Australia.
R was working all day and tourism in Fremantle only kept me occupied for a day, so on the second day, I drove south to get to Penguin Island!

Now you know what I am going to say, penguins are the perfect black and white animals! These ones were particularly cute, they are the little penguins, only 30cm height, the smallest ones of the penguin specie. As they are at sea fishing during the day, I only managed to see one in the wild, the photos were mainly taken at the feeding session where the ones who are not ready to be re-introduced in the wild yet are kept.

Here's the photo for this month:

But I have a few more really cute ones which I could not keep away from you... And I also had to show how brave I was to get to the island (read the signs carefully) and there were a few more good looking animals (most of them black and white or black or white!)

  3. Cute little pets. We have the same ones in Montreal, but inside.

    Excusez si je fais des fautes, je travaille mon anglais, lol. On a les mêmes dans une sorte de Zoo intérieur à Montréal. Mignons comme tout... Et franchement amoureux de leur soigneur-nourrisseur :)

  5. but but but... They're blue! The penguins on Phillip Island :). I remember I went there in 2006, didn't have a digital camera yet. Only a film point and shoot. I managed to get a few good shots that are now in a photo album :)
