Re: Amazing Nature
It's a great word, but it was actually invented by Lewis Carroll.
"If you're moving along heavily or clumsily, you may be said to be galumphing. A blend of gallop and triumphant, Carroll used it in Through the Looking-Glass to describe the Jabberwock slayer: “He left it dead, and with its head / He went galumphing back.”

You can eat them in Samut Songkhram at Don Hoi Lot (Hoi Lot = tube shell). Quite delicious.

Re: Amazing Nature
I was debating whether to put this in the Photography thread, but figured much better suited here to be honest.
Some great moments captured and perhaps some worthy entries for the Caption Competition!!
