May the New Year bring you much joy and happiness, and whatever else you long for!

But ....

... and into France! :-((

Ain't he just the cutest little thing you ever did see? And such a kindly face ... of terror!

Much better up very close, on white and on full screen (F11), of course! ~ But not too close, eh?

I took this picture with my arms fully stretched over someone's garden fence. I was wearing a home-made lanyard around my neck pulled taut to steady the camera. Isn't it amazing the "lengths" to which one must go in order to get that shot? ;-)

This alien to France, with its massive jaws (crushing mandibles), is a ruthless predator capable of taking off the head of its unsuspecting victim in mid air ~ I've seen it happen!

Can you make an educated guess as to what prey it might well make a "bee-line" for?

Well, for the answer, you really should read on ... right to the very end ... it's captivating stuff !

... And beyond the very end, for Anne-Marie ! ;-))

Aren't they just made for each other? And clean, satin sheets for the occasion! ;-)

What an impact their romance has on us all! We should be kind to bees (and flowers)!

As you can see, I've gone all soft ~ on bees and flowers, that is!

Best viewed large, on white and on full screen (F11), of course!

BTW, © is for Colin. ~ What else?

Distance from camera to target = 15 mm ;-)

Please do read on ... right to the very end!

I got mud on my face. Big disgrace. And look at my hair, all over the place! ♫♫♫ ;-)

She's a 'queen' and no mistake! ;-)

Actually, Kitty was busy creating new 'pot-holes' in our local forest (see Flashback below) when suddenly her head sprang up, like a 'jack-in-the-box', at the deafening report of a shotgun going off, very close by! She remained dazed like this for a moment or so, giving me just enough time to capture this rather unique and very candid snapshot! ;-))

Perhaps a snow-white doggy wasn't such a good idea after all! ;-)

Since I've been deprived of the "large size", here's mine ~ it's the best I can do :-(

And please do read on ... right to the very end!

Warmest Greetings to all Ye Earthlings everywhere! Welcome to My space! ;-))

Feeling of déjà vu? ~ Well, E.T. is a common enough name in these parts!

Plumped, hairy lips, bandy legs and stereo earmuffs = beauty, out of this world! ;-)

Remember; beauty is in the eye of the beholder! ~ So, please make an effort! ;-)

As you may have noticed, I had to clip her wings a bit to stop her flying away! But don't tell the kids that, for heaven's sake! ;-)

The technical term for this is 'grounding'! But not to worry, dear friends, the Flying Doctor will soon have her airborne again! ;-)

Please do read on ... right to the very end!
