Hey Bossman and PGW - you, sounds like the Cake Lady of past times - she certainly is old enough to have been around that long. Such a sweet old soul - I love her - and her cake.

Hooray!! Today is the last day for the Canadian penny! Finally, I've been 'releasing pennies into the environment' forthe last five years.

Bea and I have been busy, so not so much time to write and post, we joined the CSA gym for the month of Feb.

Here is a bit for today.
I brought a parrot toy down with me to give to Francis’ pair of breeding macaws, Sinbad and Tiki. I guess I feel a little sorry for them, spending their lives in a cage. So, anyhow, here’s a shot of the toy before it went into the cage and also a shot of Sinbad:

Francis hung the toy and I came back a few hours later to see that they had done some quick work on it – I don’t know if they like it, or hate it, but they ripped it pretty good. Here’s a shot of the cage floor below the toy:

Here’s the cool thing – Sinbad and Tiki had a baby!! His name is Dude and he is two months old. Francis hand fed him and he’s tame and friendly – unlike his papa who would snap your finger off if given the opportunity. Dude has his own cage. There is also another baby in the hutchwith mon and pop. Francis will be taking it out in the next week or so, I’ll try to get a shot of it. Here’s a shot of The Dude:

Shrek, Ragga and Flo arrived from Ottawa today. Also, Mark and Cheryl move from Home Sweet Home down to Charela, so the crowd is thickening. Should be a good sunset gathering tonite, I’ll try to get a group shot so you can see the crew.

Random beach shot - just before sunset when the lighting is so soft:
