You'd like me!

You'd like me! I am an evergreen!



Most conifers are evergreens. Their leaves which are usually long, thin and needle-like usually remain on the plant for two to forty years before falling. Amazing, isn't it?

I am your Angel!

I am your angel!

You'd think of Celine Dion's song, wouldn't you? But, I am really an angel. I have wings like what you see of the angels on the the Prince's Sarcophagus at Sarigüzel, near Istanbul.

I am just hanging around!

I am just hanging around!



'Hanging around someone' is an English idiom which means 'to spend a lot of time with someone'. I bet it could be real fun!

I am the Worst Dressed Dog!

I am the Worst Dressed Dog!



Not too bad if you think that Britney Spears, Paris Hilton, Lindsay Lohan and Mariah Carey had all made it to that Mr. who - Blackwell's list of worst dressed women in 2006. Afterall, a dog has not much say over what it wears!

And The Swan Shall Meet!

And The Swan Shall Meet



Rudyard Kipling is said to have coined the phrase 'Never the twain shall meet' when he said 'East is East, and West is West, and never the twain shall meet' when he lamented the gap of understanding between the colonial British master and their Indian subjects in India.'Twain' is Old English for two. The twp swans, however are neither master and subordinates, and they, I presume, shall meet!

I am Red Riding Hood!

Bow Wow! Guess who is Red Riding Hood?

You may think the famous fairy tale about a young girl, Little Red Riding Hood, and a big bad wolf was written by the Grimm Brothers but the truth is their version is just the popular version. Jeanette Hassenpflug and Marie Hassenpflug had actually told Jacob and Wilhelm two different versions of the story in the 19th century. The earliest printed version had appeared two centuries earlier when Charles Perrault included it in the collection Tales and Stories of the Past with Morals and many other oral versions had appeared in Europe prior to that.It is also believed that the early tale could have its roots in Oriental tales.

I'll lick this!





Most probably, you would lick this rodent with the bigh bushy tail too! The squirrel is from the family Sciuridae.

Man's Best Friends

Animals are delightful! People keep animals not just as working laboratory animals, working animals or sports animals. Most of the time, people keep animals as pets. Their playfulness, loyalty and mere appearance sometimes provide their owners with health benefits, helping them to relieve stress. Animals are indeed men's best friend! Get a friend today!







I have brought a present!

I have brought a present!

Christmas is just over but the season of giving shouldn't just end there, should it?

Mother and Child Reunion!

Mother and Child Reunion!


Mother and Child Reunion is always a precious and warm moment! Just as warm as the song 'Mother ad Child Reunion' written by Paul Simon for his dog which was run over and killed. The title of the song though was from a dish in a menu fromChinese Restaurant.
