I do believe that is the loveliest and the most content cat I have ever seen. As for the reserve... well. I'm really surprised no faeries snuck into your pictures! Those are lovely sights, indeed!

Niamh, your pics have such a calming effect :nod:
Loved the cat, Claes
Aluminum, your first picture has is perfect. I liked the angle....it seems to have captured everything nicely :)
Thank you!! The angle was actually a mistake. I was trying to get a "straight on" shot but the walkway was so crowded that I didn't have room. Funny how those things work! Lol
Yes! The atmosphere was incredibly gloomy in some sections. One of the hallways had two mirrors which I thought was the most eerie part of the whole place. It's strange walking in a prison and then suddenly seeing your reflection in gaudy mirrors.Quote:

I agree with Maddie, that first pic has a great balance.
Fantastic pictures Claes, but I thought this was a Rated PG site. :p (I'm referring to the frogs on the previous page.) Even more impressive photos on this page.
Very nice Niamh. I realy liked that third from the bottom picture. Something about the huge sky and the grey tones. Oh and that second from the bottom: Isn't that the Loch Ness monster? :D
Prison looks scary Aluminum. Thanks. :)
Hahaha! you are the second person to say that! Puss said the same in my blog. :p thats what i thought before i snapped the picture. Thought was funny and wondered if anyone else thought the same. :DQuote:

We go out all the time now thanks to the doggy. Went to Boxhill, in Surrey yesterday. Such beautiful places just outside one of the biggest cities in the world:
These pictures were taken under an over-cast sky and some even in rain:

Alu, that doll is adorable! :)
Thanks so much!!
Now I'm suddenly feeling inspired to go out and take more photos. Hehe. :D
Crow, I want to live there! What a gorgeous place! I love that picture of your dog running towards the camera. The cutie was caught in mid-air. Hehe, toooo funny!
Here is one more for you. It was taken in Horsell Common (near Woking, in Surrey). Horsell Common is the place where aliens land in H G Wells's War of the Worlds. It is a wild woodland of 800 acres with literally tens of thousands of trees and large clearings, ideal for any alien landing:Quote:

Great pics Kafka!

Since there have been some spring wildlife photos lately; namely frogs engaging in spring activities; therefore, I thought I would share these photos with all of you. A few years back, I had the fortune of finding an ophan in my yard. I raised him until he was too big to keep in the house in his cage; then took him, reluctantly, to a wild-life shelter, so he could socialize with his fellow ducklings; sort of a "Born Free" story. Ducklings will bond easily to the first person they meet up with, if they lose their real mom; that turned out to be me. It just broke me up to part with this little fellow; he was so darn cute. I can only hope he got on well at the shelter; it was a very nice place in a wooded area. This is in the beginning...so

Mr.Peepers sort of had a foot fetish...:lol:.

Mr Peepers looks like he's peeping under your dress. :lol: He may have had more than a foot fetish. :DQuote:

I would take him out of his cage, while I was making my breakfast every morning and he would follow me all over the kitchen; he was worse than a puppy; the whole time he was peeping away, thus his fitting name. Actually, now that I think of it; I never really was sure if he was truly a male. They have to grow up and get feathers before can determine sex.Quote:

I'm a Mom!!!!!!
I couple weeks ago I was checking supplies. I was approaching a box of respirators when I noticed garbage in the box and I started to get PO'd because nobody cleans up after themselves I was about to grab the box when I noticed this:

I've been looking in on it for a few weeks and this morning they greeted me:

Just in time for mother's day. Now you can officially celebrate. ;) What exactly is it? I can't make it out.Quote:

there birds?
:( Yeah, In the last pic the yellow things in the fuzz are their beaks.Quote:

I think they require a worm or insect, like every few minutes; however, with some parent bird species, I think they eat the worm first, digest it and regurgitate it up for the young ones. I don't think you are prepared to be that dedicated a mom to them, are you? We have a bird nest in our holly tree and the mother and father never stop flying in with their food; I think you will be up all night hearing their peeping. Wow, being a bird mom is a full time job. It's unbelievable to think they survived the shipping. Are they lively? I believe online recently I heard of a similar incident but it involved a small kitten or puppy, I believe. I sure hope they survive.
Unfortunately, my aunt had to take her tiny kittens to a vet finally, because the weakest one died. She was trying to feed them with an eyedropper and powdered milk. I hope you have better luck with your new family.
Oh, Sorry Janine I should have been a little more clear. The box wasn't shipped to me, it has been sitting in a storage room. I was checking the inventory of my safety supplies and I thought one of my guys threw trash in the box but when I pulled the box out a little bit I saw the nest so I put it back. I put a sign on the box not to disturb it and every few days I've been going in and looking at it. The "real" mother has been around. For a while there I would put on a face shield to look at the nest because I was afraid she would fly out of the nest and peck my eyes out. I was wondering if I should give them something to eat but I have no idea what so I'm leaving it up to bird mom.
Oh, great to hear this. Glad the mother bird is attending them. I could not imagine how you were going to feed them. I think you have to leave it up to nature now. You did the best you could and hopefully, the sign will deter people from disturbing the little nest. How cute it is. I hope they survive. It should be interesting to watch them grow and get feathers. I know what you mean about a face mask. My neighbor was once weeding near a bush with a mockingbird nest in it. Needless to say, he was bend over with short shorts on; he always wore these short cordoroy shorts in the summer. He pretty much had only his backside showing and the bird swooped down and you can imagine the rest -what a big shock to him. His wife told that story often and everyone got a good laugh, all except the man who was the subject of the viscious attack. Those mocking birds are the worst! You better wear full body gear...Quote:
