Here's a couple pics of a cottonmouth(a type of pit viper, for those who dont know) we found on a trip to the coast. Pic looks alot better on my computer, and I cant get those black bars to go away, but there they are.
Cottonmouth1 Cottonmouth2 Here's a tiny green snake we found. Green Snake I thought that this pic looked cool. It looks like the horses legs are on fire. Horse And here's a funny little pic of a Margarita snail and a tiny tube worm. This is in my tank. Snail

That last picture looks great, Mari. I adore that sort of Japanese garden.

Really? This is the most famous Zen-garden at the Ryouanji:
And a gate in a city in my backyard  Nearer: Hmm, too bad there are people in it.

I love the top picture. It's hilarious!
 In Japanese it doesn't say that you will be boiled, they only ask you not to enter the pond.

Cool looking. Have you been in there yourself, Mari? Did it smell or taste sulfur-y? I ask this not because of the nick-name ' the hell', mind you, just out of geological interest.

It depended a bit on the minerals mixed in with the water, but generally the whole area smelled like sulfur. The entire city was build on a volcano (or near, whatever) and especially in the Kannawa-district which is higher up the mountain, they have special manholes for the smoke to escape through. The entire district permanently smelled like it.
Sometimes when the wind was right, we would even smell it on top of our mountain.  Hot springs are really very nice Especially the very hot ones. You burn off your outer nerves, but it feels great!

I miss taking pictures.. I found some month-old ones on my camera today, they're taken in the reptile house here in Helsinki.. Beautiful animals.
 I have to admit that I can't remember what bird this was..  Green mamba (Dendroaspis)  Same as above  Can't remember the name of this one either.. >.<  This beauty is a carpet python, Morelia spilota

.You take such great photos . |

It's me. So thank you!
Hehe, it's good if your sister can use you as a model.. Use your family, if you can.

I met her the day she came home. What a bitty girl.
And she was the new one in a house that lost a real sweetie the year before, so we were all happy to see a new baby in the house. But the family is so nice, and I've been saving that pattern for just such an occasion. Haven't done a dog sweater in years, but I think I'll be adding it.Drafty near the floor.
