Travels with my camera

Wow, what can I say, already said in the daily blurb. The caves were amazing,the weather was fab, and I really enjoyed the animals and things outside as much as anything (naturally!) Great day. Lots of pictures here, but will try to be selective! (I actually took 87 pictures here alone, thank heavens for digi cameras I say) Instead of posting remarks alongside each picture, I will leave this as there are so many. Just briefly, there are three showcaves, I took a few pictures inside, experimenting with flash and without, some came out okay, have posted the best here. There is also the Prehistoric village, which is to scale and very interesting, and the dinosaur park. After the caves we went to see the Shire Horses, and there are lots of small furries, like Guinea pigs, Gophers, Goats (which are bigger furries) a donkey, geese, muscovy and her chicks,piggies, and the black birds with the red beaks! If anyone knows what they are (my bird book doesn't cover foreigners) please let me know, I'm sure that they aren't just "black swans"

**Useful tip of the day - don't sit in the garden with a laptop on bare legs (I have shorts on, I'm not an exhbitionist!) I now have a bright red mark on my leg, and not from sunburn, but from laptop burn. Ouch!

**Useful tip no. 2. Yesterday because I couldn't post or do bugger all on my blog, I went onto the help forums and discovered I was not alone. I also discovered that someone recommended (and it may be blogger itself) that you use Mozilla firefox for the blog. I downloaded same, a very small quick, free download, and boy does it make a difference. My pictures load in half the time, and three at a time too, much better than IE, Maxthon, Opera, You-Name-It. So if you have problems, give it a go. I am just going to use it for this in future. :o)
