    Mrs shiney took these photos of dolphins when she got a ride on a schooner just off Buzios, Brazil

    I was back at the ranch doing the laundry :DOH: :cry3:


    Sorry about this being blurred but it was taken in the rainforest in Dominica whilst it was raining heavily. The crab was sheltering in a hollow in a tree :scratch:

    Haven't worked out where I was when I took these!

    I didn't know whether to put these here or in the Animals from the Rest of the World thread :what:

    I took these shots on Iles du Royale (a couple of hundred yards from Devil's Island), French Guiana. I don't know what sort of monkey it is. He was a bit wary but bits of apple lured him out from hiding. :)

        The wild flowers in my 'meadow area' have all seeded now, so it was time to give the long grass its first cut of the year.
        With all the rain this year, the grass growth was very lush and tall. In the process of cutting and clearing it away I disturbed several frogs, hopefully these fine looking specimens have been out on regular slug patrol.

        Friendly looking chappies :)

        If they want a little gourmet holiday a bit further south, you can send them to us. We have a lovely selection of slugs for them. :dbgrtmb:
