Another year. They keep whizzing around faster and faster these years. They seemed to go much slower when I was younger.

Happy New Year to Cowick Garden Cafe and its residents. The nature photographer/s who took the photos must be commended - the photos are excellent. Meantime it seems the banana trees are enjoying a relatively mild winter...it will be interesting to see if it stays mild.

Can't remember what caught her eye and what she was looking so intently at but she remained still long enough for me to take a decent photo. :-)
