    I can FEEL my blood pressure drop while I look at these pictures!!! LOVE it!!

    Lisa, I found the giraffes curious too. They are like cows I guess. Cows surprised me! They are SO nosy!!!! I went to take a picture once of cows near a barn and by the time I looked through my view-finder, they were right at the fence!!! Scare me so much I fell back into the ditch. My friend watching in the car laughed his head off until I got back into HIS car with my wet bum! ehehehehhe

    Cows are great. We were backpacking once and camped next to a bunch of free range cows (only level spot for miles). The cows hid behind trees (about 12" diameter) to observe us. We cracked up because only about 1/8 of the cow was hidden.

    I'm not sure if it was the giraffes or the other photos, but I was drawn back tonight! 

    This has been an amazing week for me. I am just now back from a trip to Dallas area -- a Gaylord Resort (never been to one of them and TOTALLY amazed.) 

    Anyhow, I gave my first KEYNOTE for a NATIONAL event. I'm still floating a bit above the ground. It's the ultimate bucket list, being checked off!!!! 

    Anybody want to come down to Vero Beach? We have a second bedroom in a gunky little condo until the end of March..... but its only about 10 minutes to the Atlantic -- so it's a great trade-off from our inland/FL home. LOL. Nuts I know! 

    Hope that everyone has an awesome weekend!

    Faith, always good to see you...just wish I could do it in person! I missed getting away with buds this Fall, but got a grandson, so good trade off! Waiting for other dd to contribute to the grandchild pool late January, so not going anywhere far from home for next 6 weeks either. So worth it :)

    Mum, great shots!

    We LOVED Turkey and it is one of the few places we would return to!! It is a self-sufficient country and cleaner than Canada!

    Snowy owls just look like mystical messengers from the north. Beautiful.
