Yes, that's me--before I started having bad hair days. :-)

I was her only child. She had two miscarriages after me, and had just turned 38 when she died (from cleaning a rug).

I think it has been illegal in Great Britain since 2005, where historically the purpose and goal was to catch and kill the fox. It is not illegal in the United States, where it is about the chase. As soon as the fox goes to ground, the hounds are called off and cast out again to try to find another scent. On the Thanksgiving hunt, perhaps because it was warm and dry (which make the scent hard to follow) they didn't scent or see a fox the entire time they were hunting. But even when they don't see a fox, they are still riding through land like this:so it is still a pretty good time.

This little guy was born beneath my studio window in August. If I'd known the doe was there giving birth, I could have watched the entire thing, but I didn't see them until she had him pretty much cleaned up. That is a lot of snow! Is that normal for your area this early in the year, Alisande? Beautiful angel photos. They'd make wonderful Christmas cards.

Socks - this is an actual apartment (if you can call it that!) and yes, is extremely ornate. Napoleon III didn't live there, since the rooms were used for entertaining and housing guests of the State. The apartment was built between 1854 and 1861 by the architect Hector Lefuel and refurbished in later years. The Louvre was the residence of the Kings of France until King Louis XIV moved to the Palace of Versailles in 1682.

Annie, My brother and I were in Prague years ago, and were in the square in front of that clock. He handed me his camera saying he was having trouble lining up the shot of the clock through the viewfinder with his glasses on, asking if I could take the picture. I took the camera, looked through the viewfinder, and <click> took the picture. At which point the camera started rewinding because it had reached the end of the roll. My brother then said, "No I meant when the clock stares ringing, which was less than a minute away, and the animated figures start coming out and moving around. " I think we didn't have another roll of film with us, and so I had completely missed the shot he wanted.

Alisande....My mother died in 1952 also....She was 39 years old when she died, of a stroke.

I was 7 years old at the time.

She had one baby die the day it was born and two misscarriages. I was her only child.

I feel for you...
