A small Easter display I made in our reception area.

My only attempt at gardening in the last ??? years; a couple of mini daffodil plants. I put them in next to the recently deceased guinea pig.  Maybe I'll mow the 'lawn' one day.

Copago, the paragliding photo was taken at Panchgani, a nearby hill station. Taken at the market in Mahableshwar.

Magicjeanie: thanks for the info. I really must save up for some different lenses. Are those fallow deer? They have such interesting antlers. SpanishLiz: you might not have seen one on the ground before, but you've probably heard them. They have quite a distinctive call. Runningbare: Thank you to you too for the camera info. I believe that pretty plant you captured is a Scilla bifolia. Member of the Lily family. Comes in blue, light blue and white (alba). The hubby and I were in Vegas earlier this month. We've been there before, so to do something different, we thought we'd take a day or two and visit the Grand Canyon (it's about a 3.5 hour drive from Vegas). On the very first night, hubby got lucky in the casino, so we spent his entire winnings on a helicopter ride to the Grand Canyon. Beats driving anyday, I must say lol. In this picture we were flying over part of Lake Mead:

I love the deer - beautiful, Jeanie. And great shot (and story!) of the grand canyon.

Sorry I have been absent for a while - computer problems (couldn't boot up). Don't you hate it when your 13-month old computer plays up right after the 12-month warranty expires. We had a freak hailstorm last Monday with hailstones as big as golf balls, and flash flooding. It gridlocked the city and caused chaos, not to mention a damage bill into the millions. Luckily, my house escaped unscathed but my poor car didn't. It has a broken windscreen (will post a photo of that tomorrow), shredded weathershields and the body looks like the lunar surface from the impact of all those hailstones. I tried taking pictures of the dents but you can't see them on a white car. Here are some of the hailstones. They were initially bigger than this but they melted rapidly in the rain. Even so, you can get an idea of their size by comparing them to the pavers.

Yes, a windscreen is a windshield. I am not quite sure how to describe weathershields but I'll do my best. They are plastic wind deflectors that you fit to your car door so that it's more comfortable when you have the window open (it greatly reduces the impact of the wind and/or rain). A lot of people just have one over the driver's door, but I had one over the front passenger door as well.

Omigod  ! I think I've finally gone and done it! Without meaning to, I laundered the cat! Let it be known, little guy could have used a bit 'o freshening up ... but putting him in the dryer might have been pushing it  .
