These penguins are waiting for some food from their caretaker! Penguins are highly intelligent and they love to eat small fish! Fun fact: A group of penguins in the water is called a raft but on land, they're called a waddle.

This picture somehow reminds me of Finding Nemo! The reef, the fish and the blue water!! Wow, I just love it! Anyway… if you love the sea, you will enjoy this! I took this in an aquarium in my city.

Penguins, penguins, penguins…. They are just cute! But this picture is not just a normal picture…. This penguin lives in a small tank…. they don’t even have enough space or company… Aquarium is nice for us but I feel sad if I think too much about it.

A small island… looks like the upper half of love. This picture is about a small island near my city and often it’s called the love island. No one knows how or when it was named but many locals, especially lovers stay here and take picture of it.

An abandoned dam in my city, many teenagers and young adults love to swim here, it's not that safe but the magnificent views make it all worth it. Sometimes it gets foggy in the morning and it just enhances the beauty of nature.

FOOD! FOOD! FOOD! FOOD! This otter wants FOOD!!!! It swims soooo fast whenever they see food around them. They can do tricks, swim and run very fast! A cute smart boy!

If I were to go back to the early Florence…. this is how I imagine it to looks like. Peaceful, calm and just beauty in its finest. The architecture is just elegant and somehow its calming…. This really shows how humans are so capable! Even after decades, it still looks magnificent.
