planet earth part 1 - pole to pole

[phinnia]

planet earth box set. <3

notes:

- i wonder how they managed to get antarctic winter shots? that's not easy at all.
- OMGPENGUINS!
- OMFG POLAR BEAR MOTHER SLIDING DOWN THE SLOPE
- OMFG CUBS!
- neko's favorite: amur leopards (he watched this part VERY CAREFULLY.)
- the terns flying south - entirely black sky. just incredible; and the warming taiga
- birds of paradise - COURTING FAIL
- OMG waves - and whales - and the slowed-down shark strike
- eye of the hurricane was possibly the best shot of the whole
- swimming elephants!! and the baboons look so much like children going into the lake. seaners did that same splash-waddle thing the last time he went to the wading pool
- omg dog hunt on the okavango delta (bbc dvds from amazon have 10 minute 'making of' video on each ep: this one focused on the filming of the dog hunt)

continued tomorrow!!

i wish my dad was still alive. he would have been blown away by this series. we used to watch nature documentaries together. *sigh* *misses*
