Guess I'll have to put it up in my study!

But really, I love this photo.; 30 April 2009 at 00:17

Zhoen, they might be unafraid and inquisitive, but even they consider getting that close, too close.

Watercats, that dinosaur ancestry certainly comes through in some birds. I find it a nice thought: that some, at least, are still with us.
