Hey Deb & Vic, how are your travels going? Where are you now? I don't see any pictures of Pumas or Bush Dogs lol. Don't forget to look us up next time you are in Oz. Safe travels.

DH, I've got news for you.....If you fall into a lake or river full of man-eating fish, the life vest doesn't really matter!!!

Holy sh*t! I would not be caught dead in a boat on that river or lake or whatever it is!! I choose to lose weight the traditional way!!

Now you see, if you hadn't told me that those were bats, I would have guessed that they were Bullfrogs from first glance! Maybe that's why I just got stronger glasses!

I so agree - I attend the National Geographic speaker series 4 times a year here in Toronto and Vic and Deb could easily go on the speaker's tour. And a fantastic book too. Oh wait, is that pressure. Okay, put that on the back burner for

Absolutely stunning photos! But could you please warn us next time about the spiders! Yes I am a bit squeamish when it comes to them. Good thing I have great reflexes and I got by them fast!!
