A place where the animals love everyone (thou you might be on the menu)

A place where if you wanna stop and dance, nobody's looking
Image

A place where if your not careful you could get

on the cheek

And for all of you the are interested, 8 more inches of snow coming tonight

Brilliant, thanks for posting those and bringing a smile to my face, especially seeing Colin Mochrie doing silly dancing with Greg Proops in the background. I love those guys and am a great Whose Line it it Anyway fan, UK or US version! :lol:

It made me LOL while posting it!!

Decided that we needed a break so we decided to go into the city and have a couple days just chillaxen with the family and regroup from old man winters grip.

There are 80 something pics to look at from our visit here is a feed if you would like to see them all or small thumbs that you can click to make them larger.... http://feed608.photobucket.com/albums/t ... t/feed.rss

Some fab pics of all sorts, the mineral section as well as the art section was wonderful. It is nothing less than amazing what acids, air pockets, pressure, water or anything in the core of the earth can make!!

I will edit some rain forest pics tomorrow of the conservatory we visited today, seeing all that green being around those plants just lifted my soul from the grip of old man winter!!

I dunno why the link won't work for you... :dontknow:

It seems I have had my KB set a little high for having so many pics on one post, so I lowered the quality just a little so that it is dial up friendlier. A personal friend of mine, Dale Chihuly, is the artist that blew/made all of the glass in the photos. We met at a show some years ago, later we would exchange work. I made him a sink and he made me some glass bowls.

This album is a must see!! Dial up friendly, and has some of the most beautiful flowers/pics I have ever seen or taken.
Below is the feed to view the album, about 240 different pics I think?!?
