Santana please post your Notre Dame photo so we can compare it to PauFlpsone from 1976.

Last month I bought a new scanner, but have used it only for business so far. Inspired by PaulFlP's photos, I broke out some old pics last night and started scannning. This is ClaraSue the day after I found her wandering along a country highway over 10 years ago. We figured her age to be about 8 weeks old.

ClaraSue, what a fantabulous shot of the sunflowers! I hope your mom has a framed copy hung up in her house. (And awww how cute, to your puppy too; she looks a little lost and confused)

I'm enjoying the photos of trips to Toronto and Paris very much, and Satguru's ongoing tour in and around London.

Zorba, I'm really enjoying your shots of temples in Mumbai as well as your other photos of old buildings and such, some very interesting architecture, and a glimpse into another part of the world.

Thank you, MadMags.

Such a cute puppy, ClaraSue.

A 'gola' (ice slush) stall. It's very popular in Mumbai during the summers. It consists of crushed ice on a wooden stick dipped in different juices.

It looks very interesting, Zorba_Scank and it must be very welcome in the heat of the summer.

Dotb's lovely shot reminded me of this one I took in the Norfolk Broads in 1976. Kodachrome again.

My neighbour friend got a new bike last night. Life is grand when you're nine and king of the road!

I have actually spent an evening in the main hall at Harrow School once as where I was teaching used it for their speech day. We were all lined up in a row on the stage wearing our graduation uniforms, and mine knocked some of the awards off the table as it dragged past. Very memorable...

This shows it's not all buildings in London, these two are in a field where the buildings end in North Finchley on the Mill Hill border.



This looks too big again, no idea what Photobucket's doing at the moment.

Aww, what a cute puppy ClaraSue was Loving all the photos, as usual.

These totem poles are in the stairwells at the Royal Ontario Museum (ROM) in Toronto. I first saw them when I was four or five years old, and they made a lasting impression! I was glad to visit them again last month.

Yes it's cute but it is a pest. The hay that we feed the pet goats gets lots of unwanted visitors - if you walk down there quietly there can be 15-20 of them on there.






Rabbit stew would make a change from lamb/mutton and is very tasty.

I'd be impressed by those totem poles, too, Liz. And everybody's scenery photos are just beautiful.

ClaraSue was a cutie when she was little, and ornery as heck! Here she is at age two the summer she found out she loves water. It took me two days to convince her water was OK, then I couldn't keep her out of it.

It's hard to believe it's nearly November. I haven't worn a jumper or jacket all week and children were playing in the sea today! But a walk in the woods shows the leaves are turning.....

Bit of everything here .. our sheep in the background, a feral goat on the left and there in the foreground are a mob of feral piglets. Couldn't see the sow any where. Pigs are becoming a real problem at the moment, I have seen more in the last couple months than I've seen in a decade. We've had to call in some friends who are professional hunters to try and thin them out a bit.

Thousands of waders can be seen at dusk at this time of the year at the RSPB Reserve at Snettisham. Here are some from yesterday's spectacular - sanderlings, I think.

I am embarassed to have to say that I didn't know the meaning behind this statement. I looked it up and was even further embarassed to say that I never saw the movie "Citizen Kane" even though it's considered the greatest film ever made. I may have to rent it now.

I've been enjoying scanning old photos. This was taken in 2001 or 2002 at the Talladega 500 of Jeff Gordon's car. I'm not usually a NASCAR fan, but we had a good weekend at the races. This was a few hours before the race while we toured the pit area.
