Enough of that.

Memage from various people

1. Stop talking about politics for a moment or two.
2. Post a reasonably-sized picture in your LJ, NOT under a cut tag, of something pleasant, such as an adorable kitten, or a fluffy white cloud, or a bottle of booze. Something that has NOTHING TO DO WITH POLITICS.

Have a gecko.



share the fluffy cuddlyness.

That lizard is pointing towards the left...

It's not a NON-PARTISAN LIZARD!

Gecko!

People give me funny looks when I squee over small quick-moving lizards. But they're cute! And squee-worthy!

and apparently I felt that you needed to know this!

These geckos are really noisy, too. They often woke with their calls.

Hmmm...

Need a few around here. Only things that make noise (and a LOT of it!) are frogs and toads...and BIRDS---and BUGS!!!!

Lizards are pretty quiet, though, at least around here...

*grin*

Hmm! That's interesting; I've never actually lived near or with lizards, so don't have any idea how loud they might be. Is the name 'gecko' at all related to the noise they make? I have this vague sense that might be the case...

The lizards I'm most familiar with are _very_ small things which I believe are called "anoles", and are from Florida, USA. They were always very quiet when I was near enough to see them (and therefore identify any noises as theirs).

There aren't many easily seen non-snake reptiles where I live (north-east part of the United States). Sadly.

I don't have a web server that would allow me to post a picture, so...

Love is Love by Sir Edwin Dyer

The lowest trees have tops, tha ant her gall,
The fly her spleen, the little sparks their heat;
The slender hairs cast shadows, though but small,
And bees have stings, although they be not great;
Seas have their source, and so have shallow springs,
And love is love, in beggars as in kings.

Where rivers smoothest run, deep are the fords;
The sundial stirs, yet none perceive it move;
The firmest faith is in the fewest words.
The turtles* cannot sing, and yet they love.
True hearts have eyes and ears, no tongues to speak;
They see, they hear, they sigh, and then they break.

*Looked it up, he meant doves ("turtledoves") which were, according to the folklore of the time, the most faithful lovers in the animal kingdom. Oh, by the way, the poem is from memory so my version might not be exactly correct.

Den has just a wee bit of web space handy, perhaps send him a photo, or even two, and he'll post it for you :-D

CYa!

that sounds like a plan.

Hey, I'd say that a bottle of booze has plenty to do with current politics. ;)
