Grey Daisies; well done on the snow leopards which i was looking for a good shot of earlier. On youtube there’s a lot of nationalistic hatred (not just friendly rivalry) between India and Pakistan over Tigers v Snow Leopards. On youtube the insults fly on almost everything. Well hopefully that nationalism will be channelled into ensuring the animals survive. There’s a good book by Peter Matthiessen, Snow Leopard
