    IIRC you’re in the UK (genuine apologies if I got it wrong) and I’ve recently learned that imgur is blocked there, but I made this album a long time ago and am not sure how to (simply and securely) mirror an imgur album.

    I don’t think I have a turtle equivalent, but my dad was an “elephant person”:

    His elephant collection even featured paintings - shown in that album - because they were painted by elephants. One birthday, to his great joy, I took him hundreds of miles to ride an elephant (I didn’t know those events were cruel back then, I’m not proud of doing this now, but I am proud of how happy it made him to meet an elephant in person).

    In case you can’t access that album, here’s my favorite entry in his collection; lightning took down a tree in his yard, so he hired a woodcarver to make this out of it:

      I am indeed British! I clicked the link got a black screen. That photo is lovely! And taking him to see an elephant must have made him so happy it sounds like a lovely moment
