Fun with iPhoto

iphoto book arrives

What possible gift would be appropriate for two stoic, silent, country farmers?

iPhoto offers several book options, and was just what I needed to thank my farming friends for allowing a trail of little girls to follow them around their Old MacDonald wonderland, and for tolerating my ever present camera.

hard cover with dust jacket

There are options for text on each page, and on the dust jacket.

The gift was well received, and I’m thinking I won’t be long resisting the urge to order some of our family photos to be presented this way.

Sleeping Beauties

sleeping poults

I love my little poults, even though they are growing, by the day, more like …big ol’ turkeys!

baby turkeys

I’ll be a wee bit sad when they have to go back to the farm, and prepare to be a roast dinner.

We have them on loan only for the cute part of their lives!

Australia’s Bilby

peek a boo bilby

They’re desperately cute, but Australia’s bilbies are endangered.  If only they weren’t nocturnal, I am convinced people would be more concerned about the welfare of this little marsupial species.

What do you get if you cross a Bengal with a Burmese?

Well, kittens of course!!

They arrived last night.  There are now six bundles of furry sweetness residing at my mother’s house.  Oh, the joy! :D

Blossy and Smaxi

Mulberry stained, still sandy from the sand pit, and having just liberated a flower from Grandma’s garden, Blossy shares a moment with Max.
