Glad you are feeling better Val. :thumbs_up:

Never nice to feel sick and more especially not been able to attend this special service.

What an awesome pic and handsome guy. :mrgreen:

Is that a stone in front of him or maybe his wife? :hmz:

Hey Val, ooooo yes, what a sight you had with a real pretty boy!

(I also wish we could see the CB chicks, but now I'm worried that we would never see them, they are so tucked away in their log with very protective parents, worried that they will just fly off one day with out us ever seeing them, I sit on the stoep most off the day painting or reading hoping for a little glimps.)

Keep looking!! :thumbs_up:

Val, you just seems to have luck with Mr Grumpy. But the kitties make it all worth it. Hope you are feeling better and that you have a wonderful new years eve and a spectacular New Year. Can't wait to see more of your fabulous pictures.

Hope you both also have a wonderful New Year.

Yes we love our kitties!!! :thumbs_up:

Well as I've just said to Sparrow, he does have a mate, but unless she was keeping very still on that occasion I think it must be a stone!!! :whistle:
