Love the carpet :wink:

ooooh. Thanks for that. I miss him something awful, though he'd got quite ... weird ... in his old age.

Again, many thanks for the sentiments.

*edit* twenty-two, not two february


Awww, god bless. I know how you feel. When my Border Collie was scheduled to be put down at 19 (damn good age for a dog), I could'nt even go. Still miss her, and catch myself shouting "Bonnie" at wee Alfie (new dog) from time to time.

The coot on the bottom right of this pic. is a favourite species. A coot-call is just something else.

You should know better than to feed these things Palladin. If a butterfies flapping wing in a silent forest can cause the fall of a government, fuck knows what feeding bread to swans can cause!


oops sorry Paladin...it is sharon destroying the planet

Judging by mrliprings avatar, they probably think all is safe, since there is a squirel on his head already ( no offence mrlipring ).

No offence taken. You can't really see the sheer magnificence of my hair in that photo. It's been shaved off now, sadly. Looking for a job. Get a job, then get silly hair back, assuming the terms of employment don't mention silly hair .

I don't have a particularly great camera, never mind lens. It's a [url=http://konicaminolta.com/products/consumer/digital_camera/dimage/dimage-z10/]Konica Minolta Dimage Z10
Image[/url]



It's a nice wee camera, it got great reviews, and i'm more than happy with it, just wish sometimes i could have a big papparazi-style CANNON of a lens on the front of it.

It's got an 8x zoom, and i think for most of these photos it was at 8x, and i was peeking out from behind trees and what have you. Probably about 15 feet away from them, something like that.[/img]
