Straight from the camra ! I caught our Bengal Cat (Lilly) peeking through our lounge curtains’ she really is such a darling’ and recommend this cat to all cat lovers however these domestic cats are so fussy’ with food and regular cat food is out of the question. The Bengal is a relatively new breed of cat which was first bred in the U.S.A and was originally created by crossing an Asian Leopard Cat with a domestic cat. The domestic Bengal derives its name from the Latin name of its wild ancestor, Felis Bengalensis (Asian Leopard Cat). Whilst the domestic Bengal is similar in appearance to the Asian Leopard cat, and its genetic makeup contains a contribution from that wild cat species, its temperament however is purely domestic. There is no other breed of cat which displays the gold or pearl dusting effect (glitter) of the Bengal. Its pelt has a rich smooth feel of satin or silk. Even the voice of the Bengal is different from that of other domestic cats. They can coo and chirp, and like to jump and somersault. They also love to play with water! To sum up, the Bengal is self-assured, affectionate and playful, with the stunning looks of its wild ancestor. “Peek a boo! (Our Bengal Cat)” was featured in Eye Macros

After my great-nephew’s christening today, my husband and I went riding through the country looking for something beautiful to photograph. I saw a dove perched peacefully on a low branch of a tree so he turned the vehicle around and parked right next to the tree. Amazingly, the sweet dove didn’t budge but watched us curiously as it preened its feathers. It was truly the dove of peace as it remained tranquilly put in spite of our nearness. It reminded of little Seth who had just been christened and who remained unperturbed through the entire ceremony, even when water was poured over his tiny head. The time we spent watching this dove was a lovely close to a lovely day.
Synonymous with Scotland, the Highland Cow, or Hielan Coo as we would say, can be seen all over the country. Highland cattle (also known as Hairy Coo or Hielan Coo) are an ancient Scottish breed of beef cattle with long outward spreading horns and long wavy pelts coloured black, brindled, red, yellow, or dun. The breed was developed in the Scottish Highlands and western coastal regions of Scotland, and breeding stock has been exported to the rest of the world, especially Australia and North America, since the 1900s and is used as grazer in nature reserves in the Netherlands . The breed was developed from two sets of stock, one originally black, and the other reddish. Today, Highland cattle come in a wide variety of colours. Highlands are known as a hardy breed due to the rugged nature of their native Scottish Highlands, with high rainfall and strong winds. They both graze and browse and eat plants other cattle avoid. The meat tends to be leaner than most beef, as highlands get most of their insulation from their thick shaggy hair rather than subcutaneous fat. The coat also makes them a good breed for cold Northern climates. The Highland cattle registry (“herd book”) was established in 1885. Although groups of cattle are generally called herds, a group of highlands is known as a ‘fold’. The breed is affectionately known as “shaggy coos” or “hairy coos” in parts of Scotland. They were also known as ‘kyloes’ in Scots. Highland cattle have been successfully established in many European countries. Their hair provides protection during the cold winters, and their skill in browsing for food is also important in order to survive in such a steep mountain area.

A Highland Cow that wasn’t too pleased to be photographed!
I took this picture at the Coo waterfalls in Belgium.
The definitive scottish animal (except the haggis, but I’ve never managed to catch one unawares!) nothing screams scottishness more than a highland coo :) It almost has to have the words “greetings from scotland” on it!

Cape Arago Lighthouse / Description: Long before white settlers arrived in 1853, the Coos Indians lived in villages near the bay, which now bears their name. Just south of Coos Bay and 2.5 miles north of Cape Arago (originally known as Cape Gregory), is a small, detached piece of land with sheer cliffs called Chief’s Island by the Indians. The shape of the island has been aptly described as a bony right-hand fist, with an extended index finger pointing northward. It was on the tip of this finger-like extension that the first Cape Arago Lighthouse would be erected in 1866. After the arrival of white settlers, Coos Bay soon became one of the more important harbors along the Oregon Coast. As the shipments of lumber and coal from the bay grew, so too did the need for a navigational aid to guide vessels to the bay. Oregon’s first lighthouse was built in 1855-1856 near the mouth of the Umpqua River, twenty-five miles north of Coos Bay. However, in 1861 the overflowing river undermined the brick tower, causing it to topple. By this time, the Coos Bay area had surpassed the Umpqua River region in commercial importance, and it was decided that the interests of commerce would be better served by a new light at Cape Arago, rather than reconstructing the light at Umpqua River. Funds were allocated accordingly, and Novermber 1, 1866, the first Cape Arago Lighthouse was illuminated. The octagonal, wrought iron tower was capped with a lantern room housing a fourth-order Fresnel lens and was supported by spindly metal legs. Located at the northern end of the island, the tower was linked via a wooden walkway to a one-and-a-half-story wooden keeper’s dwelling, constructed near the southern end of the island. Rowboats were initially used to access the island, until a low bridge to the island was constructed in 1876. However, high seas cut short the bridge’s life after just two years, and the boats were a necessity once again.
