Description
A child calls her father into the penguin "bubble" at a zoo to watch the antics of these flightless birds in their large aquarium home. As a friend wrote, not only does the image capture her wonder as she explores the beauty of nature and the world, but "the shape of the window, round like the earth, subtly plays right into the concept of a child standing beside a parent exploring the world".

What a very nice thing to say, Penny. I love this one, too. And the father and daughter - I did not know them - were pure delight to watch together.

Great eye Nikki! This fantastic shot captures the childhood wonder while exploring the beauty and nature of the world. It is also serendipitous that the shape of the window is round like the earth for it subtely plays right into the concept of a child standing beside their parent exploring the world. L/F

Thanks so much for the thoughtful - in the sense of "full of thought" - comment. I love your interpretation and insight and appreciate that you took the time to share it. I'd love to work this idea into the description, if I may :)
