A lively Koala...

Yes, that's about as lively as they get except for special occasions, such as a visit from Oprah!

I hope someone's feeding the little guy, because those leaves in the foreground are not eucalyptus! Pittosporum, I would think.

Copago, you got in before me with Alcatraz.....lol

Cornwallis Beach, one of the many beaches around Auckland. It was a beautiful and warm Sunday but hardly anyone there which was unusual.

lol - you gotta be quick

Lovely rose pic, Auntie!

A sign in an elevator .. don't be alarmed but press alarm

Drove by these fields and to my amazement it was full of helicopters.

Another Elvis sighting - outside the music shop in Mundaring, Western Australia.

Barbados Turtle

Swan P82, along with its mate P20, live in Williamstown's waterside tourist precinct.
Parks Victoria oversees the well-being of flora and fauna in a narrow coastal strip, hence the identification collar.

Rosie the cat looks very similar to my previous one, Skippy. He was a bit fluffier but otherwise noticed the similarity straight away.

This is the same estate as last time at the top of the hill.

Today's sunrise -- Panama City, Panama

This tour bus was parked outside my corner store this afternoon, and provided a welcome, if unexpected, splash of colour on a dull day.

The Bombay High Court

Another view from the top of Mill Hill

Mollie clearly thinks I am up to no good

About to take her ball, perhaps?

Here, Precious does her meerkat imitation, in an attempt to see over the other side of the snow trench and find out what our neighbour is doing over there. (He was shovelling snow, of course...)

Oh Liz, that is such a great shot! She is adorable.
The end of CNY in the shopping malls

Great shots everybody! I can't wait to check in every morning.





Home-grown butterbeans sliced and ready for the freezer.
A timely crop, as since the floods they are selling for up to $9 per kilo and may go higher.

Meet Jimmy!



Who would believe that such a picture of innocence could be so destructive. The score so far is FOUR phone chargers, ONE WII connection and a set of headphones. I found some stuff that should keep him away (here's hoping)- it cost $20- I will let you know if it works.

I was afraid I wouldn't get the camera out in time, but she was mesmerised!

Jimmy looks like a sweetie

I think that's the problem. Underneath he is very NORTY!
So whats the stuff to keep him away Oz? Electric shock treatment?

That is the problem, Ren. If he eats through the wrong wire he will definitely get the electric shock treatment, but I do not think 240 volts is highly recommended.

The stuff I bought is called 'Fooey Ultra-Bitter Spray', and I can vouch for the 'ultra-bitter' bit. I got some on my hand and then on my lips- it tastes vile and you just cannot get rid of that taste. It is not toxic, too. (Thank goodness!)

All this from someone who barely tolerated creatures of the feline persuasion! My how things change.

Unknown dog in a coat...

QB, I sincerely hope that that dog is a girl, otherwise he would be teased dreadfully.

Bathtime

Wow, are those wild birds? You get pretty colours in the US!

Aww, I'm really loving all the animal pictures here!

A typical old street in the old part of town in Marbella, Spain

That could be a postcard, Szabs!

Disneyland fireworks. Pretty impressive.
