A absolutely beautiful present sent to me by one of my many "virtual" friends. A little bit of America to go on my tree
(it's to celebrate the 100 year anniversary of the postal service)

Lucky you Jane!!

Here's some "reindeerbeer" that someone "dressed up" as a gift for my sister in law:

It's Christmas (it was that day) in Hersham

An echidna pretending that I wasn't there.
They are quite shy and you don't see these too often. Probably been a four or five years since I've seen one.

It looks a bit like a hedgehog.

Jill, I am so jealous of your life. You see so much interesting things.

I haven't taken that pic of my house yet, but Precious wanted me to show you one of her Christmas toys in any case

by the looks of her right eye they're spiked with catnip lol And please don't tell me those are "three blind mice". That would hardly be "sporting" (giggles)~~~

OK, I won't tell you...

Ha! I love the Reindeerbeer. That's a neat gift that I'm going to have to copy.

The Holiday table.

A sneaky little chaffinch sitting on a wooden fence post at the Centennial Park, Timaru. Don't ask why it is sneaky as don't really know....lol

LOL! Liz

ClaraSue: lovely table. I really like the ribbon running through it.

Somehow I don't think anyone will be having a picnic anytime soon lol

Nightfall by Chislehurst station. The days get longer now by 7 whole minutes a week so not too long before they start brightening up a bit.

wow at the snow! That is so cool. (in more ways than one!)

Cooling off after a hot day ...

Love the sky in that photo Satguru

Great chaffinch photo! Beautiful sky! Wonderful doggy pic! (I've got enough snow here...)

Here's my little house, as promised, with snow, taken this morning after I'd been shovelling my walkway.

What a sweet house indeed!I must check if we have ever had a "My House from the outside"theme. I think we did.

That is pretty Spanishliz - love your blue shutters

Very picturesque!

Love it, Liz!

SOme cool cloud.

This chaffinch seemed to be searching for a snack and not taking much notice of my approach though I was still far enough away not to be a big threat.

Great pic!

The bird here is not so easy to see, but he's there in the corner of the awning, driving Precious crazy. This was taken yesterday, but the same scenario played out today, with the bird seeming to know that the window lessened the threat. I guess it is a nice little shelter from the snow and wind.

Continuing the kitty theme...

I thought this gigantic reindeer looked pretty cool in Ghent (Belgium) last night:

It does!
