Congratulations, you've made it through the week!

Have a Happy Thought:      Photographers around the world do an amazing job of showing us the world and the wonders in it. Today , a selection of photos from the Nature TTL Photographer of the Year 2024 competition. Definitely click that link to see the rest – they're all worth a look!   Ground squirrels wrestling:   Image: ‘Play the Game’ by Bence Máté, Hungary     Elephant in a Kenyan storm   Image: Paul McDougall, UK     Meerkats, interacting with a camera trap in the Kgalagadi in South Africa   Image: Victor Soares, UK     Glacial rivers in Iceland   Image: Marek Biegalski, Ireland     Leafy seahorse, Australia. (This last image chosen by the fact that I still have not seen a real seahorse in the wild, but apparently my puppy has not only seen one recently, she ate it – don't worry, it was already dead, washed up on a rocky shore platform.)     Image: Rowan Dear, Australia
