Animal Photos Not Just For Kids Anymore

Writen by Ian Henman

Many people think that pictures of animals are just for children, but boy are they all mistaken. They might look at cute animal photos when they are small, but as they grow, they assume that, like cuddly stuffed bears, these pictures of animals are best left to childhood. Oh sure, trying to be cute, their boss might leave animal photos up around the office as a pleasant, if boring decoration, but no one ever thinks about these pictures at all. I really do think that this is a great shame. As a professional animal photographer, it should be no surprise that I like animal photos, but the reasons might be things that you have never thought about.

One of the greatest things about animal photos is that they really can capture any emotion that you can think about. People are often reserved about showing what is going on inside them, but reserve is not really anything that shows up too frequently among the members of the animal kingdom. In animal photos, we have the chance to see practically any emotion, from the tenderness of a mother cat caring for her young, to the fierceness of a lion pouncing for the kill, to the sly disdain of a baboon, leaving its friends behind for new fun.

Many people believe that we are not really seeing these expressions in animal photos, and that what we are seeing is just a reflection of our own emotions that we want to pin on animals, but anyone who has spent any time with animals at all knows that this is simply not true. When we look at animal photos, we are looking out at our own emotions, not because we put them there, but because animals are really very strikingly similar to us. Dogs really do feel loyalty and friendliness quite often. You can tell if you have a pet dog what the expressions in dog animal photos really mean. Cats really are quite evil and sneaky, not because their tiny, creepy eyes look that way in animal photos, but because that is their natural temperament. Animals are less intelligent than we are, and are more driven by instinct, but that does not change the fact that they feel real emotions the same as we do. It does not take animal photos to show most of us the truth of this statement, but looking at pictures of animals can help to confirm it again and again.

Diamond

Writen by Elizabeth Mettarod

Diamonds are still one of the most highly prized stones for both men's and women's jewelry. Of course, the first thing we think of is a wedding ring. Almost every wedding ring has at least one diamond. Many have several diamonds. There is a lot to know when choosing a diamond. So, it helps to find a jeweler you can trust. If you don't have a family jeweler already, I suggest you ask your friends whom they trust.

But trusting a jeweler is no substitute for knowing what you want or what your intended may want in diamond jewelry. A jeweler can be the best there is, but they still cannot predict a person's style or tastes; that you will have to figure out on your own. There are some excellent articles on Adiamodnsisforever.com about how to choose jewelry for someone else. Learn what you can and then ask the jeweler for help about the particulars. There are so many variations in cut and quality of a diamond.

Of course, diamonds are for more than wedding rings. Maybe you want to give a diamond watch or a necklace? What about a diamond bracelet? First, be sure that the person you're giving it to actually wants to wear that type of jewelry. Me, I never wear bracelets. I am on the computer too much. I don't like having something dangling from my wrist. But you will always see me wearing earrings and a necklace. The same goes for men. Do they wear rings? Watches? Some men do wear necklaces. Does he?

Then you need to choose settings. Does the person you're buying for wear yellow gold? White gold? Platinum? That you can easily observe for yourself. Other things may not be so obvious. Check with people who have known this person for a long time. If you're buying for a woman, check with her girlfriends. They are very likely to know exactly what she wants. Guys may be a little more challenging, but you can do your best. Besides, who in their right mind ever turned down a piece of diamond jewelry?
