FATman Photos has been infesting cyberspace for 9 years. Getting to 10 would be nice but, in these uncertain times, well, we’ll just have to wait and see. As always, I want to thank everyone who follows my blog or more casually looks at it. Your Likes give me encouragement and motivation – its always good to be appreciated – and likewise its always a pleasure to respond to your Comments. I try to be inventive with my pictures and to include various genres, and in this anniversary post I’ve set myself the challenge of showing faces – mostly with eyeball contact – from the animal (as opposed to the plant) world. I hope it all hangs together, and that you enjoy these shots. Thank you all, again. Adrian
