Here are some buffalo in the same pasture as the longhorns. The little one wasn't getting ready to charge. He was just cavorting.



I know that technically they are bison but around here we call them buffalo.

The pigeon did recover, saw it yesterday and it looked almost better! This is not more of my garden but one we visited recently in north Wales.

Ren, thank you very much, and thanks to Jake & Alexx too -- I feel very honoured indeed.

Congratulations Chavs. Looking forward to seeing your Roll of Honour photo.

Close up of one of my roses

Beautiful roses! Buster's a doll Great animal and bird pics!

I brought Precious a treat the other day. I think it is safe to say that Precious likes catnip!

Some dandelions.

Thanks Christina. I am quite jealous of your toucan!
Liz, another hilarious Precious pic. What a character! I think "The Adventures of Precious and Buster" would make a great coffee table book.




All the rain last week made everything seem dull but then I looked at the ground and found the destruction had caused a sort of rainbow.

That is so pretty!

Great picture Chavs. You have a good eye. I am really enjoying all the pics on here.

Here is a sunset at Lake Lewis and Clark which sits along the South Dakota-Nebraska border.

Reindeer and newly born baby

I haven't had a chance to go anywhere recently but just found another from my cruise in 1974, this was the P&O Uganda in the Bay of Biscay, and have had a couple of people on Flickr find them and were on it with me as well.

Gary, your picture is simply lovely.

Beautiful gary! Stunning pic.

Love the reindeer too .. awww

I am posting this here as it isn't a handmade card, it is the printer's proof of a card which is going to be one of the local hospice's Christmas cards this year.

Fame at last!

Congratulations Sue! I always knew you had it in you to be famous!It is a lovely card.

Your design? Lovely!

Gary, that sunset is so incredible, I just want to be there.
Christina, I've never seen a new reindeer before - sweet.
Satguru, I like the way you always bring us on your travels and that pic just shows how some photos get more valuable over time!



I finally managed a butterfly photo - at last - even if I think using a flash has distorted its true colour somewhat. I think it was a lighter brown really. A "speckled wood". More hairy than I would have guessed!

May I please have a Autograph Ms. Monks.

I am so proud to know you.

Congratulations from the Schweens.

Love the Card.

It will be quite amusing if someone sends me one for Christmas, I normally receive some Hospice cards.

Gary, I love that sunset picture

Sue, very impressive. Will it be just in Jersey or nationwide

Chavs, that butterfly is amazing. You want to stroke it

Thank you, everybody. But the sunset is like that every day here in South Dakota.

In various shops in Jersey including W H Smith but also available on their website later in the year.

Ooh congratulations Sue! That card is lovely!

Your butterfly is gorgeous, Chavs!

A second toucan who was in the same enclosure as the first one, but clearly a slightly different species.

Amazing bird, amazing colours, amazing photo.
