Addicted to Books

How many of you can relate to this? HaHa, count me in. I've been addicted to books all my life. One day I might fall victim to a reshelving accident too.

River Landscape in Cumbria, England

Such a peaceful winter scene in the Lake District of the English countryside. No wonder Beatrix Potter decided to settle in this region.

Office with Lots of Bookshelves

If I were designing an office from scratch this might be the one. I can picture myself in this space paying bills, blogging, playing on the computer, addressing Christmas cards, listening to Christmas music and flipping through books. All of my favorite modern volumes on architecture and interior design could live there. My collection of antiquarian books with fine bindings would be in the library with a wood burning fireplace.

Have a fine day. See you later.

Busy Pileated Woodpecker

Every morning I wake up to the sound of this big guy hammering away at a tree near my bedroom window. I think I have a while before he takes this one down and it comes crashing on my roof. These big Woody Woodpeckers give me a thrill each time I spot one. Luckily my camera was handy yesterday when he came calling. I'm off to an office meeting this morning. See you later . . . it's very cold this morning. Brrr.

Help - Young Skater with Safety Cushion

This is the best photo I've seen in about a million years. "Dutch boy with a pillow strapped on his backside in order to soften the falling on ice while skating." The Netherlands, 1933 via Flickr

Sleeping Peacefully in The Jungle

Can't you feel yourself relaxing just by looking at this leopard sleeping so peacefully up high on a tree limb in the jungle?
