I also love the little facts - I too always wondered why the name 'bald'. Now I know...or i do until I forget again.<br />Great bit about George - of course he loves tests - he's a collie and he'll always come out top!<br />Well,now the Me Me Me bit! the first January post only had three comments and I felt pleased as you too had to build up an audience. But ONE YEAR LATER you had more than 40!!! Jealousy. But you know Kate I have to admit - the reason you have such a lot of admirers is because you are so darned good(excuse the non-UK english:))<br />And don't take me seriously - I'm not really jealous - you deserve it and I just want to improve as much as I can and you are a great teacher in how to do this. lots of love to you this January day and I really enjoyed the flight through time. Till next time!

I was at my cabin with my brothers petting cows one day when an eagle came swooping down over our heads! Then two more burst out of the woods after it. Then we looked up and saw five more! Eight in total were flying around above the trees. There is a nice private lake near by the cabin.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08778054413371087920noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4296284051502496327.post-50814075843239108782010-01-26T10:29:02.526-05:002010-01-26T10:29:02.526-05:00Yes, showing up is essential for taking pictures. ...Yes, showing up is essential for taking pictures.
