Same island, same day. The final shot is the barge and tug boat ferry to get you onto the island. I was on the island looking back at the mainland.

Even as someone who always select the "Non-vegan" option on the menu, I can never eat rabbit. :)

Always smells like the cute bunny pets of my childhood. :eek:

Islands are interesting. Here in the UK we have one called Tresco. There are no foxes there, so chickens and pheasants run wild and grow fat.

Back in Portsmouth, that stupid pigeon was back for more Plum blossom. A juvenile, I think. The Bumblebee was flying into the room in occasional confusion.

Looks like a goat to me. What am I missing?
I thought the shape of muzzle (thicker, longer, less conical) said "sheep". But maybe I'm the goat. :eek:

Taylor Swift sings badly without Autotune (there's lots of evidence online), but that goat/sheep seems to have plenty of vocal power, sustain, and excellent pitch. :)

Thanks for the farm pics - there is something calming and healing about animals, something we humans lost when our brains became big enough to be constantly lost in thought, most of it utterly useless. :)

After watching some youtube videos about tube amplifiers by Uncle Doug, I encountered this. I think, it is good to share given the circustances.
kcrmson: Don't try using "Let me center tap your output transformer" as a pickup line on the ladies, I just did and got slapped. ;)
Uncle Doug: I guess that's better than offering them a chance to see your ground lug :)
