This is the first time that I have seen Columbine flowers apart from here on Flickr. The gardens in Tasmania were so beautiful, just like English cottage gardens. Three of my grandchildren are coming for a "sleepover" tonight, so I am not sure how much time I will have to spend on Flickr. If I don't catch up tonight I will see you all tomorrow.

To all my Flickr friends and the rest of the planet, please, take a moment to reflect on the all the beauty and comforts that Planet Earth provides: food, water, shelter, delights of all five senses and more, then pledge to do just one thing: save energy, water, support a conversation effort, just enjoy nature more, etc.

I know the return of this small investment of time will be huge. Both you and Earth will benefit.

Enjoy.

Goat for Christmas. Each end of the year for more than 100 years is celebrated goat for Christmas dinner in Margarita Island, Venezuela. The goat can be killed with a knife in the aorta to use their blood. Later is flayed for using their skin. The first thing that is done to kill is fresh consumption of his testicles, penis and blood that are boiled for 2 min with wild oregano leaves from the same area. In this case, this goat was prepared by residents of Las Guevaras in Margarita Island, Venezuela. This activity has been eroding due to the gradual decrease of rearing goats

{{es|Chivo para Navidad. Cada fin de año desde hace mas de 100 años se celebra la cena de chivo para Navidad en la Isla de Margarita, Venezuela. El chivo o cabra puede ser matado con un puñal en la vena aorta para usar su sangre. Posteriormente es desollado para la utilización de su piel. Lo primero que se realiza al matarlo es el consumo fresco de sus testículos, pene y sangre que son hervidos durante 2 min junto con hojas de orégano silvestre de la misma zona. En este caso, este chivo fue preparado por habitantes de Las Guevaras, en la Isla de Margarita, Venezuela. Esta actividad ha ido mermando debido a la disminución paulatina de crianza de chivos, principalmente por la inseguridad de criarlos, la tasa de robo de estos animales ha crecido exponencialmente en los últimos 15 años.}}
