Prompted by peake, here's my current top ten novel list, in a not particularly significant order.

Michael Moorcock - Mother London
Ursula K LeGuin - Always Coming Home
Zenna Henderson - Ingathering (the complete People stories)
Jay Gilbert - Boy Peace
Rhoda Lerman - The Book of the Night
R A Lafferty - Fourth Mansions
Umberto Eco - Foucault's Pendulum
Salman Rushdie - Midnight's Children
Kurt Vonnegut - Mother Night
Patricia A McKillip - The Sorceress and the Cygnet
Samuel R Delany - Stars in My Pocket Like Grains of Sand

OK, it's eleven. I could come up with more if you want...

Lovely!

That's an amazing picture. The bird is so crisp and sharp.

thanks :)

"sharp", I think, is the operative word here...

The photo itself was a case of focusing on where the bird would be, and luck with the timing; I'm actually amazed that I got the eagle in frame at all, let alone that it worked so well.

As much as I love dragging my digital camera around (and subjecting everyone here to my pictures), the thing I really miss is being able to make the camera go click the exact second I want it to. While I can bully my friends into freezing in a one legged pose on top of the Hanging Gardens of Babylon for two and a half minutes, the cats have generally stopped doing the entertaining thing with the fish and are lounging in another room by the time the flash goes off.
