Found some Ruddies that were reasonably close to shore today. I watched this female/male pair off and on for awhile. They LOOK like they're asleep, but they occasionally would spin around, a little to the left, a little to the right ...if you look closely, her eye really is open.
Just some sculptured cows relaxing in the evening sunlight on the banks of the Trinity River close to Downtown Dallas. The Trinity River is not much as rivers go. It runs along the west side of Downtown Dallas.
This is a small manmade lake named after Trammell Crow, a Dallas real-estate developer. His name is on other things in the downtown area. One of the skyscrapers has his name. I'm not sure what has been the fascination of Dallas artists with cows. It would be more appropriate for the city of Fort Worth, 30 miles to the west, but we do have sculptured cows in a couple of places. It's a nice park. A jogging sidewalk runs along either side of the river for several miles. There was a group of guys playing soccer (football to the non-American) just to the left of the cow on the left.

This is an Echidna in Flinders Chase National Park, Kangaroo Island, Australia... another egg laying mammal! Also known as a spiny ant eater, their snout is almost always in the ground, so it's rare to see their cute little face....
Audley End House is a largely early 17th-century country house outside Saffron Walden, Essex, England. It was once a prodigy house, a palace in all but name and renowned as one of the finest Jacobean houses in England. Audley End is now one-third of its original size, but is still large, with much to enjoy in its architectural features and varied collections. It is currently in the stewardship of English Heritage and remains the family seat of the Lords Braybrooke.
