Hawk
We went on a "hawk walk" while in Devon. Spent 90 minutes with a falconer who allowed us to wear the glove and have the bird take off, land, and feed from our hand/arm. What a thrill that was!


This is the best picture of me ever! My husband (not a photographer) caught this amazing shot with very little technical coaching.


I teased my sister in law that this was the hat she wore to the royal wedding!


Some PhotoShop fun.

3. Nice! So you are a blonde. That's a surprise (:))
Like how very British your SIL looks. Would have picked her out of a crowd as a Brit.

4. Yea...
... I'm blond as long as I can cough up the bucks every 12 weeks or so!

You are right about my S-I-L; I don't know what it is exactly but she's definitely got a Made in the UK label about her! She is actually much prettier than she photographs.
