STATUS: Gerenuks are common, but declining in number because they are hunted for their skins.
HABITAT: Gerenuks live in East Africa in the dry, brushy areas of Somalia, eastern Ethiopia and Kenya.
DIET: Gerenuks browse in small herds and are picky eaters. With their long necks and nimble lips, gerenuks reach into middle branches and pull off the tender leaves, flowers, and a few kinds of fruit unavailable to the taller giraffe or the shorter dik-dik. They may even stand on their hind legs to get a better nibble. A gerenuk will not eat grass or herbs.
PHYSICAL CHARACTERISTICS: Standing about 28 to 37 inches at the shoulders and weighing 62 to 115 pounds, gerenuks are a medium-sized gazelle with long, slender legs and neck. On their small, wedge-shaped heads are two very large ears and big brown eyes placed well to the side. Only the males will have 14 to 17 inch long horns that hook forward at the tips.
British postcard. Film Weekly. Clark Gable and Helen Hayes in The White Sister (Victor Fleming, MGM 1933).
Plot: Princess Angela Chiaromonte (Hayes) is about to marry the banker Ernesto Traversi (Alan Edward) when chance brings her together with the dashing army lieutenant Giovanni Severi (Gable). Angela falls head over heels in love with the handsome Giovanni. At first the young woman resists her admirer's advances and, referring to the pending engagement, refuses further meetings. But Giovanni appears uninvited at the large garden party that Prince Chiromonte (Lewis Stone), Angela's father, is giving in honour of his daughter on the occasion of the upcoming wedding. A passionate kiss ensues between the lovers, when suddenly the prince appears. He forbids his daughter any further contact with Giovanni, but Angela simply runs away with her lover. Her father follows the two fugitives and dies in the process. Angela and Giovanni want to marry, but then the young man is drafted and joins the air forces. She gives him the little cross around her neck for luck, he her a ivory whistle. Shortly afterwards, Angela receives the news that her lover has fallen, when his plane was shot down. What she doesn't know is that he is alive and kept prisoner in a German camp for two years. Out of remorse for her father's death and because of her broken heart, Angela renounces the world and takes the veil. Shortly afterwards, Angela is working in a military hospital near the front when suddenly Giovanni, who has escaped the camp, is standing before her. His joy at seeing his beloved again is marred by Angela's strict refusal to renounce the clerical state. Deeply disappointed, Giovanni leaves her, only to be hit by the enemy's bullets shortly afterwards. He dies in the arms of Angela, who confesses her eternal love for him.
With his natural charm and knowing smile, Clark Gable (1901-1959) was 'The King of Hollywood' during the 1930s. He often portrayed down-to-earth, bravado characters with a carefree attitude, and was seen as the epitome of masculinity. Gable won an Academy Award for Best Actor for It Happened One Night (1934), and was nominated for leading roles in Mutiny on the Bounty (1935) and for his best-known role as Rhett Butler in Gone with the Wind (1939).
Helen Hayes, real name Helen Hayes Brown, (* 10 October 1900 in Washington, D.C.; † 17 March 1993 in Nyack, New York) was an American film and stage actress who had a long and successful career in American show business. She won the 1932 Academy Award for Best Actress in a Leading Role for her performance in The Sin of Madelon Claudet, and another Academy Award for her supporting role in the disaster film Airport. She also won several Tony Awards for her theatre work, the Emmy Award and the Grammy. This makes her one of the few people to win all four major awards in the US entertainment industry.

Apparently the owner is willing to 'gift' this totally unique aeroplane - the only example flying anywhere in the world - to the Royal Navy Historic Flight, as long as the necessary sponsorship can be put in place.
Let's hope so!

I took this photo awhile back during a downpour on Main Street. I was very surprised I found this Mercedes-Benz SL 55 AMG driving in these conditions.
He chased something out of a hole on a dirt road into the rice, the rice is taller than he and is in a flooded field, you can see the water droplets behind him, crazy dog. Check this out in the Original size.

This ring-necked pheasant and I seem to be about the same - just dashing hither and yon not really knowing what we're doing. We know it's spring (finally!) but haven't quite caught up to it. But, we're both still around, and will be out to play just as soon as possible.
It is great to see the back of winter. I've even taken a lot of photos (not so sure about good ones) but I think the long winter and what seemed like a lot of busyness, has just made me all askew. Most of all, I'm computer weary... even the thought of the computer makes me seem to ache all over. So, I need to clear disk space and cull and sort and then even look for some photos to finish and post... I'll get there. Probably, I'd just rather be out in the garden. It's finally bursting in blooms and blossoms - yeah! So, maybe I'll have a chance to dig into some good garden dirt, and then perhaps face the computer, again. Meanwhile - Happy Spring, and cheers!

Panned shot of Austrian Airlines Bombardier DHC-8 (Dash 8) Q400 OE-LGN as it takes off from Vienna airport for its short flight to Klagenfurt.

I saw this gorgeous custom car on
one of my walks in the city. I did a
little research and I believe it's a 1954
Packard Cavalier. Such a 'dashing'
hood ornament!
