    Thanks rosa.

    Strongy, There is also an interesting canyon in Colorado. The Black Canyon at Gunnison. I suppose that if you are on a coach trip then all the stops are already predetermined. :)


    I'm not quite sure what these are but they were living on a lava bed near lots of volcanoes.

    Just a very laid back Hawai'ian cat.

      Yes, that cat decided to plonk himself down in the driveway when I was trying to park the car :eek:. I had to get out and pick him up and move him. I just put him on the grass at the side, still on his back, and he stayed like that for another hour or so :D :D

      Great shots Glen, I had a pic of crabs on the rocks in Puerto De La Cruz but not close up, and the Gallotias seem to be quite tame.

        Cookie, I didn't know which thread to put his on so have put it here. I can delete it and put it on a different thread if you like.

        I just thought animal lovers would like this :thumb: :)
