The strongest is never strong enough always to be master, unless he transforms strength into right, and obedience into duty.
I just really, really, like this photograph.
Hold me now, oh hold me now, until this hour has gone around. And I'm gone on the rising tide, to face Van Dieman's Land
Theme Thursday again, and this one is rather easy. I am Tasmanian, you see, and aside from being all around general geniuses - as I have amply described previously - we are also very familiar with the concept of WATER. Tasmania is the ONLY island state of an ISLAND continent. That means, we're surrounded by WATER. That should help explain why I take so many photographs of water . Tasmania was for a long time the place where the British (an island race terrified of water) sent their poor people most vile and horrid criminals. The sort of folk who would face the stark choice of a death sentence , or transportation to the other end of the world. Their catalogue of crimes is horrifying : stealing bread assault stealing gentlemen's handkerchiefs drunken assault being poor affray ladies being overly friendly with gentlemen for money hitting people having a drink and a laugh public drunkenness being Irish Fenian terrorist activities being Catholic religious subversion. ...

To answer your question on my blog post today, it was inside & yes, there were crocodiles! hehehe
As a matter of fact, two VERY LARGE albino crocs! We couldn't believe how big they were. But space they were in wasn't large enough if you ask me. They barely had enough room to turn around, much less swim around. But, I guess the aquarium people know what they're doing better than I!!!
CHEERS!!!!

Blognote, they are certainly a pair of aces!
Louis, they’ll have to start thinking of a X-mas record for fan club members.
Priyanka, I knew that you’d like that one.
April, B&W did seem appropriate.
Jackie, I’d imagine that he’s thinking about breasts. Like many men, they do seem to occupy his mind quite a bit of the time. I like how he is looking at me, and Henry is looking at Jen who is just off to the side.
