This is the beginning of a new series.. :)) Went for a visit to the Croc River Reptile Park - Nelspruit. This is the foot of an adult Nile Crocoldile. I really think he's in need of a good manicure.. but I'm definately NOT volenturing!!!! Enjoy these cold blooded but absolutely beautiful creatures with me as we go for a walk through the park... Thanx so much for popping in!

You can tell this croc is living the "good life". What a perfect manicure! ;) Really cool shot. I like that you cannot see his face, or the rest of the body. Nice one!

Never realized the pattern of color on these awesome creatures. Your closeup really brings that to light. The foot just exudes an aura of power. Good opener for your series.

Just an old "Grampa" who still has a Kodak "Box" camera kicking around the attic ... learning and enjoying the wonders of modern digital photography.

I was just trying to envision what color nail polish would go well here, but the gray seems to be the best and it's mother nature's choice, but this is really some shot! I like the way you focused on that part of this guy's anatomy.

You know, this is very savy of you to consentrate on this part of the croc.. Who would have done that? I was struck by the simularity of the crocs foot compared to the human hand. Guess this is one way people hone in on evolution. But, stop and think...is there any reason the Creator might not use the same design on more than one species? Even man does the same thing when he designs. There are wheels on big trucks and there are wheels on toy cars but they are not the same. Ok, I'll step down from my podium. Nice, creative, thoughtful work. Oh yes, cool title.

Hi Marietha - This is wonderfully creative, zooming in on such a detailed part of him. It's a bit like a gorilla's hand, too. I added you to my friends' list so I don't miss the images coming in this series. - Patty

My God Marieta hat this is great! I love the sharpness, that I can see all that fantastic scaly/leathery skin. And the paw! I think that's what I like best about your work, your animal pictures. They are original and fresh. Outstanding work, and I cannot wait to see more. :)

Hi Marietha,
What a leg. If I can see it this way am it rather a large crocodile.
You can see well all scales.
