Eye to eye with a Red deer hind. She was busy eating fallen acorns below an old oak in Richmond park. A quick look up to check I was no threat and she was back to the acorn munching. D800, 200-400 @ 400 end, F5, 1/160, ISO 320, camera and lens cover
The rooms are tiny and cramped. Teachers have a chair to sit in and a white board to write on. There are four more students in the classroom to the left.
A quick Lulu update. This morning I moved to MoMo's room again, this time around 5:30am. Lulu quickly hopped up on the bed and tucked herself behind my legs (I was lying on my right side). MoMo and Vidalia kept coming up for loving, and Lulu perched herself over my hip to watch each interaction closely. . . and longingly. Lulu has an incredibly strong drive for affection. And she doesn't get overstimulated, such an oddity for a former feral under rehab.
After I got out of bed, Lulu played with me (Cat Dancer) while I was still standing up. Another first as she would only play with me if I were safely seated on the floor.
Then treat time. Lulu turns on her motor and rubs against Vidalia and MoMo and Vidalia and MoMo while they eat the treats I crumble on the floor. I stroke and stroke and stroke and stroke. Lulu never tires of the affection. Her left ear itched this morning, so I intermittently tried to help her scritch it. As long as I don't make eye contact with her, she accepts my help and affection. At one point, Lulu leaned against my legs for deep loving. I gently slipped her up on my lap fully expecting her to dart away. Instead, Lulu sank into my lap basking in all the scritches I could give.
We're getting there. And what a treasure this former feral will be. . .

This was captured during a quick shoot at a lookout point atop Creve Coeur Park. The clouds were quite nice that night, so I decided I needed to go shoot the sunset. Enjoy!

On a wet showery day with
heavy downpours I returned to Castlerigg Stone Circle. This is the complete opposite of a Disney Attraction in that there are just stones no souvenir shop or anything to buy. So visitors come in a steady stream tend to snap there shots , children play on the stones and are gone within 15 mins.
There are 40 stones in a circle approximately 30 metres in diameter. . It was probably built around 3000 BC – the beginning of the later Neolithic Period – and is one of the earliest stone circles in Britain and Europe.
With fantastic panoramic views all around on a good day it is worth spending some time just relaxing here and wondering why it was built as no one really knows.
This is a close-up of Ben The Illustrator's pattern "I <3 Nature". You can get a high resolution version that you can print out and colour in here....

Kuai Er Mei is the name of the restaurant and literally means "Quick and Pretty" so its name translated to English is "Quick and Pretty Food" which doesn't quite work. But the workers are certainly friendly.
I did a quick edit of an old shot from the Circus Gerbola stage for them to use for their Facebook group if they want. I just decided to share it here so I could put it as the front of the set. I'm kinda proud of the way it turned out. I had to remove a few strings of fairy lights & bits & pieces as well as trying to get the right size, font & colour for the 'Circus'. I'm kinda happy with the overall look of it. :o)
