SFGate: Day in Pictures

Wednesday, May. 25, 2011

Easy, Mom! What am I, an ice cream cone?! Malea's cub may not have any stripes left after this vigorous bath at the Frankfurt Zoo.

Viva, Niagara™! Shoshone Falls, known as the "Niagara of the West," often loses potency in the summer and fall due to agricultural diversion. But right now, it's a raging cataract, thanks to snowmelt supplements. (Twin Falls, Idaho.)

Either the fist bump or the palm slap - not both, gentlemen: President Obama and British Prime Minister David Cameron clumsily high-five while playing ping-pong with students of the Globe Academy school in London.

Watch me steer this thing with my feet: Two Amish men stop to chat with neighbors while traveling home near Maysville, Ky.

If we're hippos, how come they call you a cougar, Mom? This baby pygmy hippo at the Bratislava Zoo in Slovakia is the offspring of 29-year-old Dina and 4-year-old Paul.

Hippobottomuses: Dina, a.k.a. @CradlerobberHippoMom on Twitter, has one follower. (Bratislava Zoo, Slovenia.)

Just when you thought the commute couldn't get any worse: Lightning strikes near a motorist in Norfolk, Va., causing power lines to spray sparks.

How about a glass of fresh water? On second thought, we're really not that thirsty. (Jammu, India.)

In case of PR stunt, break glass: A member of the Streb Extreme Action Company leaps through a framed panel of mock glass during ground-breaking ceremonies for a new Whitney Museum in New York. The nine-story, metal-clad building, which will include a series of asymmetrical rooftops for outdoor exhibitions facing the High Line and the nearby Hudson River, is designed by Italian architect Renzo Piano and will nearly double the museum's current gallery space.

Maostalgia: A bewildered boy watches a woman dance to songs sung by comrades nostalgic for the good, old Cultural Revolution days of the '60s at a park in Beijing.

Peppy poppies: Corn poppies pop with color near Mallnow in Germany's Oderbruch region.

Hold the hot wax, please: Boys pedal their trikes through the "kid's car wash" at Child's Garden preschool in Covedale, Ohio.

Furry survivor: David Vanderhoofven lost his wife, his son and his home in the monster tornado that smashed through Joplin, Mo. Two days later, he found his cat, Harley, alive and well in the debris.

Scandinavian sunset: A cruise ship sails past Flatoy Island in western Norway.

With the skies clear of Icelandic volcano ash, a plane flies over central London and under a wispy layer of cirrus clouds. Experts in Iceland said the eruption, which had disrupted air traffic, appeared to be tapering off and that observers were reporting only steam.
