Interesting bird

Earlier this year, we noticed that Pirouette was very excited about something outside the kitchen window. I had a look and saw this lovely bird sitting on a telephone line. It flew away before I could grab my camera. As I had no idea what the impressive bird was called, I tried googling a description, with no luck. Finally, a friend who's a bird enthusiast put me out of my misery. The name is as interesting as the bird itself: Hoopoe!

Sweet memories

I may be getting old, but I still find these absolutely irresistible!

Absolutely adorable

Contrasts

I like taking photos from my kitchen window, following the seasons as they change.

Remembering JD

Pallottine sent me this photo of a sign made by a young man down the road in memory of our lovely JD (stands for Just Dog).

Here are some nice pictures of JD:

The sign over the gate is a lovely way to remember a good friend. JD was definitely more than just a dog...
