elaine: well if i wanted to read it from your recommendation then i really do now - check out this review books.guardian.co.uk/departments . . . ry/0,6000,1488815,00.html

elaine: i like your worker photos, i always did. i am glad you have posted some new ones, it's still a seriously underrepresented genre and a really particular kind of social document, as well as making for good viewing

in response to No Title

elaine: i saw a really nice docco which made me cry (natch) which was about a woman's year between dogs - her dog dies and she takes walks without one so sees much more stuff, she takes you round the year and then gets a puppy. i cried buckets because i...

kc: I'll vote with GGP on the red-tailed, though I am no hawk expert. Still, size looks right and I think that stripe-y necklace around the neck may be somewhat diagnostic. Plus it looks just like all those ones where you can see the rufous tail as plain as day! (If...

GGP: recently read a wonderful book by JA Baker, a British author, called The Peregrine. It details daily walks taken in wintertime in search of a pair of peregrines, chronicles the weather, the sky, the activities of the birds, and the narrator's growing "oneness" with the birds and the place. it...

Catherine Penfold-Waxman: Here's some more strangely poetic spam for medications: Looking for a specific medication? Let us know what you need! We are born princes and the civilizing process makes us frogs. Never tell the truth to those unworthy of it.... I thought I told you to wait in the...

NJ: U SHould go back to this place and get some more im sure there will be some good ones

in response to Railworld Welcomes You

elaine: well, whatever it is, and i, too, am way too amateur to be sure, also this is abroad, and they do things differently there, the great thing is it is likely to be local and therefore spottable again. now you know it is there you will see it if it...

Nairi: thanks joey and elaine. I would have better pictures of the falcon if I wasn't so scared. heh.

in response to Grubbin\'

GGP: i'd beg to differ on the peregrine front; this hawk seems too big and chunky and the coloring looks wrong for that. perhaps a red-shouldered hawk or red-tailed hawk? anyway, these are great shots. Two weeks ago, I had a similar thrill here in Brooklyn. My halogen cat started staring...

elaine: fresh pigeon, gotta be good, right? except they are dreadful cannibals. this area is massively muslim and the kids all eat halal version kfc, so the streets are littered with dead hen. pigeons eat this. still, at least it is halal

Naj a la plage: teh bastard falcon, he stole my dinner!

in response to Grubbin\'

elaine: fab. instant visual holiday. those two pictures belong together so well. black trees mirror black sands. i love the californian outdoors. i was driving up the coast on the one a couple of winters ago in an open topped car, and these pelicans flew alongside us eyeballing us. i had...

elaine: gotta love a nice floor. i also like real linoleum.

in response to City and Country

elaine: yeah, and bill oddie. looks like a peregrine falcon to me too, how very very exciting. they followed a pair with thier ugly chick in a quarry somewhere two years ago on springwatch, it was fabulous watching them dogfighting the pigeons and bringing their bloody remains back for chicky. they...
