Thank you Copago. Maxie is so darn cute. I love goats, and maybe one day I will have a yard big enough to accomodate one. I especially like how they always look like they are smiling.

Welcome Divine, that's cute. Here is our dear old lady, The Peninsula Hotel in Kowloon. You go there if you are flush and want to impress people or have a wonderful afternoon tea. The Lobby is the place to see the rich and famous. In the picture you can see one of the fleet of dark green liveried Roll's. Very luxurious!

I've been to Quiberon- not for a very long time but we stayed in Carnac in 1966 and 1967 but remember it well. This sign is apparently not as old as it looks, I've been told 1965-79 but not so sure as there were a good number including pressed steel and they all looked like much older types to me.

Hmm, I must have been on the previous page, didn't see all the new additions.
Maxie's got a lot bigger! That's a cool old sign, satguru. Ren, that is a lovely capture of a grand hotel, love the fountain in the foreground.

Ren, that is an awesome photograph. I would have loved to be there. I was in Hong Kong in 2002 and loved it.

Cool statue, Argus .. welcome back! I posted this photo last week. Today's photo is about from the same spot, taken 11 days later - that's the same tree in the middle there just ever so slightly greener ...

 My "children". I did write "kids", but to not irk Ren, I changed it.  L - R Marcie Elizabeth AKA Dollie - a very social cat Alexis Anne - AKA Bebe - afraidy cat Edward TC - AKA Eddie - miserable cat They are all older than 10. I would have to look up their papers to find exact ages, but am unsure where they are.

It was Australia Day recently and I just happened to be in my local watering hole. All the staff were wearing these shirts instead of their usual uniforms. I though they were great!  How much more Aussie can you get?

 Today we went to the other side of the island and the Lion dancers were out in force. At the end of a visit to a shop or business the lion stretches up to reach for a lettuce, inside which is a lucky money packet. He throws out the lettuce and keeps the packet, guaranteeing luck for the year to come.
