i love the way birds fold themselves away when they are sleeping. this flamingo and pelican are both compacting themselves down for a rest.
but what about this penguin which seemed to have a removable head ? one minute it was standing there with its head on the top of its neck, the next moment it wasn’t:
and kezzy in the crab tank:
it must be weird enough being a normal siamese twin, but imagine being a siamese where your other half is an animal.
we’ve been away this weekend.
we journey’ed to the north of england to a small hamlet called Hull. Here is a birdseye view (what a pea would see).
we stayed with our lovely friends richard, julia, joseph, hannah and bethany. they have a variety of aninmals.
we had a great time and i got loads of photos to show you. but i’ll pace myself.
meanwhirl, here are esther and kezia taking bella the dog for a walk.
i’ve seen two mouses in the last few days. both on pavements and both very tricky to get nice photos of. i didn’t show you the other mouse as it was quite frankly dead. and i wasn’t sure if you’d like that.
so here is a living mouse sitting nicely outside paddington station.
this isn’t a horse with a hat on. it’s a church with a horse in front of it.
here the is duck again, this time with people by it so you can see it’s size
walking through the city of ghent heading back to my hotel i saw this lady holding this dog. something wasn’t quite right. it was stuffed.
but nice it still got to go on regular walks.

“real live” rather than “pretend dead”. i couldn’t work what that animal was meant to be in the picture. it looked like a sawn off slug.
there’s still lots of pigeons in trafalgar square. you just need to go at the right time of the day. specifically feeding time.
but you won’t find a ‘don’t feed the pigeon sign’ as these have all been removed. apparently.
our bike journey took us through lots of lovely villages.
in most villages people were playing cricket on the green:
and then a cricket on my trousers:

i went on my own little photoshoot this evening to get a picture of a local pub to enter in to a competition on saturday. i got some photos but i don’t think they are much cop.
unfortunately i also drank a fair amount of beer in the pub whilst waiting for it to go dark. by the time it had gone dark it had also started raining and all decent photo opportunities evaporated. ho hum.
on the way i went through a field of horses. here is one in the sunlight.
you want big ? you want click
