Full grown

Now that Holly is a year old he feels a bit sad because his favourite toy is much smaller than it used to be.

Gone fishing

Stupid dog! Now she needs a bath - again. And the little pond was looking so natural.

Micro monster

This is the underside of a medium-sized tick photographed through a 50x hand-held microscope. Notice the barbed proboscis.

Microscopic

This is the head of a small tick photographed with my trusty Sony Ericsson K850i through a 50x hand-held microscope.

Foiled robbery

Cash-in-transit robbers failed. Police were tipped off and waiting. Shots fired. Five arrested. One shot in leg (see him in road just above tape). Near my home. Well done police and community informer.

Lap dog

Magenta is almost too big to be a lap dog. Lucky for her she is fully grown now. She will only sit on Thomas's lap. Lucky me!
