The going for a walk one looks like the bird is having a hissy fit, because he\'s walking away from all of the other waterfowl who were swimming in the unfrozen part of the lake

The Mt. Baker Sunrise as of this posting is sitting at #3 in the \"Popular\" Sky photos on deviantART. It was at #4 this morning, so maybe it\'ll move up even more and knock my friend Alice\'s photo out of top spot bwahahaha.

That \"house\" is actually a manor-castle. Here\'s the info about it:

This \"castle\" is located just outside Fort Langley, BC. It was built by Fritz Ziegler, the son of immigrants who came to Vancouver from Germany in 1911. Together they established the Ziegler Chocolate Shops, which operated until 1956, closing when his mother passed away. Fritz Sr. had died in 1923.

Fritz Jr. was interned during World War II, but he was released after he agreed to reside outside of the Vancouver area. He built this four-bedroom manorial-style home of stone and brick, a swimming pool, a three-car garage, a large stone barn and an ornamental pond on a 16 acre parcel just south of Fort Langley.

Fritz was a very colourful community figure, and was married to the great-granddaughter of Canadian Prime Minister Mackenzie Bowell. He was an honourary consul of Monaco, and in 1974 he hosted a reception at his castle in honour of the 25th anniversary of Prince Ranier\'s ascension to the throne. Fritz was also a Grand Prior for the Americas of the Sovereign Order of St. John of Jerusalem, and was involved in many charitable organizations in the area.

The castle was sold in 2006 for just over 2 million dollars.

One other sidenote, the Order of St. John was originally the Knights Hospitaller (from the Crusades), and they are the St. John\'s Ambulance people. The Order of St. John was eventually awarded many of the properties of the Knights Templar after King Philippe of France had the Templars arrested on October 13 1307 (origin of Friday the 13th being unlucky). However in many countries (mainly Scotland), the Knights Templar were safe as Robert the Bruce had been excommunicated by the Catholic Church, and the Order of St. John had quite a time getting their hands on Templar holdings - especially as many of the properties were hidden and protected by the descendants of Robert the Bruce\'s allies within Scotland.

Slighty photo manipulated barn cat.

This is one of my favourite barn cats at my mom & dad\'s. He\'s rather timid, so I couldn\'t use a flash, and he was hiding under the camper.

Gross! The sap ones just look... ew lol. I don\'t know why, they make me think of gross things lol

The two flower shots are real nice though.. How did you get the complete black background on the white one? Photoshop or some secret photography technique?
