Kath and Dave pose at Broughton Ponds.
The bench had a lovely memorial to Susan Fletcher, 1950 to 1996
"The dear earth everywhere blossoms in spring and grows green again. Everywhere and eternally the distance shines bright and blue."
This is "the farewell" taken from the final movement of Das Lied von der Erde (The Song of the Earth) by Austrian composer Gustav Mahler, which was written shortly after the death of his daughter from scarlet fever.
A snow bunting posing for a photo (or two he he). A first for me and a first day out with the tripod so I'm happy :)
I have to thank whistling joe (www.flickr.com/photos/whistling_joe/) because if I hadn't seen you in the distance I wouldn't have seen the birds ;p He has some fab shots of the snow buntings today so have a look if you have the time :)

I just passed a bridal photo shoot while walking in the park. I shot some photos from a distance, and they didn't turn out too bad. I blurred her face, though - as her posing certainly wasn't for my lens!

Cheetah ...
Acinonyx jubatus
The cheetah plays an important role as a predator on the African savannah. The fastest animal on land, the cheetah can reach speeds up to 70 miles per hour over short distances. A sleek body, flexible backbone, long legs, non-retractable claws, and muscular tail assist the cheetah during high speed chases. The dark tear mark below a cheetah’s eye, called a malar stripe, attracts the sunlight and keeps the glare of the sun out of its eyes. Once the cheetah is within striking distance of its prey, it swipes at the prey’s hind legs with its front paw and strong dewclaw to trip and knock it to the ground. Then it closes off the prey’s windpipe to suffocate it. Exhausted after the chase, the cheetah must rest for a while to recover.

Have a nice day & weekend everyone!
Aliya's got a peculiar way of posing. Head tilted to the side, body bent slightly, and a touch of huge infectious smile.
she's not at all afraid of objects like the camera, which is great for me!
But... I still can't come up with a new name for her. Yes she had a name but she doesn't respond to it (unlike Bayla who knew her name!) and not to mention it was a horrible bird name. (It was "Angel" - even my mom and aunt who are religious think thats a crappy bird name..heh) Problem is I don't really want a typical cutesy 'bird name' - nor really a typical person-type name.
One I'm mulling over is Saachi (pronounced sah-shee) - which is supposedly a semi-common Australian girl's name/nickname, and Goffin's are from Australia/Indonesia. But I just don't know if I like it enough.
