Hampstead Heath without leaves

Great Pics as always, David!

Could not resist taking this picture of Lady earlier today. She just looks so settled and comfortable and so not interested in going out

Awww! That's exactly how I feel,sitting at my desk, supposed to be working!

View over Kota Kinabalu (Borneo) from Signal Hill.

Mollie joining in the comfortable and happy to stay here group

Thanks Sara!

We could see this from the back of our house and was built at the highest point of the area so it could be seen from as far around as possible. It comes into view here by West Hendon Broadway and from a wonderful view from the flyover at Brent Cross across the heath and towards the woods in Highgate.

A friend that we meet on walks quite often

Children's pool at the resort. The bucket fills up with water and then tips over every few minutes.

Front entrance ready for CNY which starts tomorrow.

Coolcat90 and I went to a day spa and had a "Borneo Therapy" which consisted of a head to toe massage and being slapped hard with these little bags of steamed herbs (seven herbs including nutmeg, red ginger, betel leaf, and lemongrass) and oil.

The original national signs were standardised in 1933, and this is one of the originals, and may be even older although the specific format continued till 1963 with slight alterations.

This Lion was rushing past on the way to the temple this morning,obviously overslept. I didnt have time to get outside in the road, so forgive the bars!They all went to perform lion dances for good luck in the coming year.

I've never come across friendly sheep in a field before, but you can see these all came to see me as soon as I arrived. The flash went off though when I took this and seemed to put all but one off coming much further.

An almost picture When I pressed the button Mollie had her head up when the shutter opened this was the result



I have lots of pictures of the dogs disappearing like this, is this some kind of natural instinct?

Probably biscuit crumbs from whoever was sitting in the chair. My cat always sat in front of me when I was eating waiting for something to arrive whichever way it did. Pizza appeared to be the favourite.

Some of the interesting things on display in my favourite store.

A rural scene in Mill Hill

The River Klias, Borneo. We took a sunset cruise upriver to see monkeys and then, when it got dark, fireflies.

A snake charmer at Ajmer Fort, Rajasthan

This is the new holocaust memorial garden in Hendon Park

Unusual sight a boat with a puncture. Is this being left high and dry or just wheely unlucky?

Plane tree fruit in sunny Hendon yesterday afternoon

Today it decided to be winter and we got some nice, fluffy, white snow that stuck prettily to the trees. It never shows up as well in photos as I'd like it to.
