Yes I have passion for many things
Music...I sing . play the keyboards and saxophone
I woodwork, woodcarve
I’m also a painter .... watercolours & acrylics
I’ve a passion for gardening, swimming, walking, baking

I like Pandas, I like travel, photography and Newcastle United but would I describe them as a passion.....not really.....I tend not to get too excited about stuff

Aww I love Pandas,DWebb,have you been to a lot of countries?..I do like photography,but I'm not good at it,I think one needs to think outside the box,when taking photos.

Mags and Surfermom, thanks for posting the gator pictures, as I said on Longdog's gator thread it's so much better to see photos taken by real people and not just ones from the internet.

Apologies to Pauline for hijacking her thread I'll bugger off now and fawn over the photos

Which panda is that Colin?

Yes what is not to like about the Black and White bears!, I have been to one or two Countries but as I get older I get more boring and keep going to the same ones Meh, anyone can take photos, you just need to follow a few basic rules....point it at the panda and click




Ere what you looking at.....

Nicol, you should come visit! I have an alligator that I see most days on one of my favorite running trails.

She has quite a legendary history, including being evacuated during a park fire, only to crawl the mile or more it took to go back to her home spot in her favorite swamp pond.

Here she is with one of her babies on her back.

She is quite the successful mother, having a good number of babies every year whom she frequently carries around on her back. We don't see much of her in the winter months, and many of the alligators in the coldest areas here have been brumating - basically hibernating with their snouts out of the water when there is a hard freeze:

.

I didn't know these animals could survive the cold .

Quite a few there,Bratti,do you play and sing at private venues?

I have to say also,that I am passionate about gardening.
