Kevin's Watch

My partner (who works as an archaeologist for a cultural resource management company) emailed me this pic today taken by one of his work colleagues. Apparently these poor little things were dug up by a backhoe! They'll be taken to Healsville Sanctury (who specialises in platypus...or as bubs of platypus is called "puggles")

Haha! They are brillaint.

omg...4 eyes!? Alien critters! Very cute. I hope none others were killed by that hoe.

Nah, the upper holes are ear slits. To the best of my knowledge none were killed (platypus generally have one to two bubs)...but I feel sorry for the mum...and the bubs (platypus are pretty "fragile" creatures and so I don't know what their chances are of survival!).

Gawd they're adorable! They look very soft, I just want to touch them.

Yep, totally adorable creatures. The Cuteness Factor has shot through the roof. Hope those two little guys recover from their ordeal. Thanks for the pic, Sea!

That is really cool

This is a picture I took at 5am a few years back. It's of my parents' estate, looking west.

Gorgeous, Lore! Thank you for sharing.


Here are some pictures I took at my parent's farm while there for Thanksgiving.

Can't get Lore's to load.

But the rest of this page - plus Jenn's skunk pics on the other thread.... Too freakin' CUTE.

Beautiful picture, Lore! And bravo for being up at 5:00 in the morning to get it!

Once again I curse myself for not carrying my camera at all times. Drove to work in the midst of a sunrise that had me quoting Shelley to myself the whole way:

The sanguine sunrise with his meteor eyes and his burning plumes outspread,
leaps on the back of my sailing rack when the morning star shines dead.

Oh well, I'll remember it anyway.

Yeah, it's often that the pictures to regret the most are the ones never taken.

I took these shots a few days after a freak Halloween snowstorm:

Great!

Thanks kindly, Luci and Lore!

Okay, I've put up a couple of winter pics in the Album:

Winter Scene

Winter Scene 7

These are film prints I scanned. Please excuse the quality of the scan -- not sure why my scanner is rendering the pics with some blotchiness at the corners. I just didn't wanna pay for another professional scan job. (The previous bunch of pics were scanned by me, too, but they turned out a bit better.)

Lore and MM ... those are truly wonderful photos ... really.

I like that one. It reminds me a lot of this one:

(Thanks, Usivius! )

Say, Wayfriend, is that a production still from the film? Don't seem to recall seeing that angle of view. I've seen Fellowship enough times that I thought I knew almost every scene by heart. Maybe age is robbing me of my memory skills.

(I'm going to watch LOTR again, anyway, after the Matrix marathon which I keep putting off, heh. I'm becoming very nostalgic about Fellowship...it was five Decembers ago in 2001 that that film completely swept me away. Fellowship ranks with the likes of Empire Strikes Back, The Matrix and Terminator 2 as one of the seminal movie/pop cultural events in my life.)

(I'm not quite sure exactly where it is from. It might be from a calendar.)
