Woahhh those animals are awesome! That fox is adorable, you got it at just the right moment.

Aw. Janine thanks. Peaches is both blind and deaf so it gets intersting, yet he still beats up the horses. lol we have had him for three years, he is a hurrican reda evacue. sorry about your pandy though. I don't know what I would do without peaches you should get another white kitty, they're the cutest..

Wow, deaf and blind; that makes me sad for her; but it's cool she gets along so well. The vet told us it was common with an all white cat to be deaf. I didn't know it would include blindness, but odd about that fact; because when we would take photos of my cat one of her eyes always turned out strange looking, sort of transluscent and red. I wondered if she was blind in that one eye. At anyrate, she was a great cat and lived to be about 13. I know they live a lot longer normally, but she had some kidney defects as well. Our other cat, they grew up together, was black and white and only outlived her by a few years. I am petless now and that's ok. I always say 'been there, done it.'....we had all kinds of pets growing up: dogs, cats, gerbils, guinea pigs, birds, rabbits, fish, turtles, even a pet goose who lived freely on our lake. I think we had our share and now we kind of like our freedom, but pets do very much enrich a person's life. Glad you enjoy yours. I love horses.

I was wondering Steph, how can the leopard live with your neighbor? Is it caged or is it free? Wow, this really fascinates me. Is she a trainer or something. I didn't know it would legal to keep a cat like that. I agree - she's cute but I am not sure I could trust she would not look on me as a good meal...humm.. You were brave getting that photo.

Your little neice is a doll baby!

Peaches started deaf bu ended up with glycome which is how he lost his eye, the other he got scratched in.
The leopard is a friends, not exactly next door, and I grew up with big cats like that. I bottle fed the white tigger. You can get your exotic license, but he happens to be a vet/foster home for animals of the sort. Bayku just never learned to live on her own and that is how he still has her, the leopard he has had about 4 months and has learned that I feed him so he better be nice... You just have to know how to deal with them. its routine, I had to get him use to me, feed him at the exact time, you never turn your back on them, because that strikes instinct to attack. and remeber that they still have natrual instincts and you are fine. they do not like kids however. I'm the only one who can really mess with them, Bayku is a big baby but she has hurt me several times on accident because I messed up when she was little and let her be a lap kitty, and play rough. toss each other around, bat at me, that kind of stuff. and now she doesn't understand her own strength. she will probaly end up at a zoo, or refuge camp. The leopard will go back wherever he came from in about a year. They are fun, and they make great pillows

rimbaud, is this a temple. It is quite interesting. May I ask where is situated?

no, it's actually a monastery or something, it has a church there also, and you can rate rooms to stay there too, it's kind of just a quiet place to escape everything and just go and read, write, draw the whole day you don't have to be a religious
it is about 50 km from my home town, in Macedonia

Went to Berwick upon Tweed, an ancient garrison town on Scottish border recently. Beautiful place. I saw the most beautiful sunrise over the North Sea. Shame I didn't have a proper camera with me that morning and had to use my iPhone which has a rubbish camera. Still here are some of the 250 odd photos I took there.

























Most beautiful cricket ground imaginable?


And the golf course!




Max, the sea-dog!

[stephofthenight]

WOW! Kafkas even with a less than ideal camera those are still stunning what a beautiful place

[Hurricane]

Those were from a camera phone?

Gorgeous pictures, Kafka.

[Virgil]

wow, Max, great photos. Thank you very much. It's a pleasure to see a dsifferent part of the world. I can't believe that's from a camera phone either. How many megapixals does it shoot with? And Max looks like my dog.

[Kafka's Crow]

I think I failed to make much sense here. Only the pictures of that glorious sunrise were taken with an iPhone 3GS with a pesky 2.5 MP camera. The rest were taken with my trusted Canon iXus 7.0. It is a right pain taking pictures of anything with the slightest of movement with this iPhone and could never have captured Max leaping out of water with it. I repeat only the pictures of the sunrise were taken with a cellphone camera. It could have been much better with a proper camera. Think of it, wake up five in the morning and go out in freezing cold wind (North Sea is not very friendly in autumn) and forget to take your camera with you, that's typical me!!!).

[Virgil]

wow, Max, great photos. Thank you very much. It's a pleasure to see a dsifferent part of the world. I can't believe that's from a camera phone either. How many megapixals does it shoot with? And Max looks like my dog.

Wow, where was my mind. I meant kafka, great photos, not Max.

[Niamh]

Last Friday to Monday i spent in the beautiful city of Bruges. Here are some snaps from my Trip.

[Lulim]

@Niamh, Bruges seems to be a very beautiful City -- I like your pictures!

Only a small impression from my way to work:



And that's been in spring in the garden:

[Virgil]

Niamh and Lulim, those are beautiful pictures. And Bruges does seem like a wonderful city.

[Snowqueen]

Very nice photos Lulim.


I’m posting few pictures here, with a little help from my friend.

[Janine]

Niamh, I love all your photos of Bruges. May I ask where that is? I have never heard of it before. Ones that stood out to me (although I love them all very much) are the b/w ones (those make me feel I have gone back into an old classic movie) and I love the one with the swans - how cool is that to see swans swimming in the canal? You go to the coolest places; I am envious.

Lulim, - love your three photos. I love photos of spider-webs and you have captured this one perfectly. I love the second one with the gorgeous red tulips but the third one is of particular interest to me. What type of plant is that? It's a wonderful closeup!

Snowqueen, wow, I love all three of your floral photos. I think the rose is the most outstanding!
