Some cool animal pound images:
Long Day's End
Image by dherman1145
After an exhausting day of caring for the family, the sun is finally dropping low. The kids have been fed and well cared for, and are burning off the little bit of energy they have left quietly playing nearby. A tired mom curles up in a fresh bed (of mulch) to enjoy some much-deserved rest, shuts her eyes and lets out a big ol' yawn. Rest well mother - well done!
I liked this image because of the story it told, and also because it displays the mighty set of jaws this small creature has. An adult red fox typically weighs from 6 to 15 pounds, and based on this photographic evidence, apparently half of that is mouth and teeth!
"OTKW" photograph = 'out the kitchen window'.

Village Pound, Shustoke

Shustoke is a typical North Warwickshire red sandstone and brick village. St Cuthbert's church is almost entirely C14, and contains the tomb of Sir William Dugdale 1685 of Blyth Hall. The churchyard has a wonderful collection of ancient carved sandstone headstones.
