Doubt there were many, if any, that were not confined to
barracks by the ‘slings and arrows’ of outrageous Ciara yesterday! After the
wide-ranging and productive day that was Saturday, we didn’t even step outside
of the opulent comfort of Slight Return II but this also may have a silver
lining. Not a cop-out, but a plan to keep things going, we present for you
delectation a ‘Baker’s Dozen’ of wildlife shots from all corners of the globe.
It feels like, just taking a peek out of the door this morning, that things may
remain the same on the morrow!
First of these images is significant in that not only is it
First in Line here, but also the First Foreign Bird on my
