Thank you. Nowhere near what it could have been if I had had access to some other photographs.

Careful on the corners, Ramana!!!

Corners? We do not have corners in India. We have curves. Is that what you had in mind?

There’s a cheetah in Belfast Zoo. I imagine it must be very miserable when it’s capable of running at 65mph. How can it possibly do that in a tiny enclosure?

I consider all zoos other than the wild life sanctuaries as inhuman. Those poor creatures did nothing to deserve being penned like that. Not only the panthers, but every single one of them. I am also against keeping birds in cages and fish in aquariums.

Thank you Mayo. It is nice to hear such flattery from you.

Ramana, I always get confused: Is it “more haste, less speed” or the other way round?
Whichever, you will crash – or not.

There, you have confused me too! You must remember that I am a bullock cart driver!

It’s getting better, Ramana: The other day we were choo choo puffing along on a train, now we are raking the dirt with a bullock cart. At least my picnic hamper remains a constant.
I’d love to keep an oxen or two. Such a stylish way of travelling around town.

A great way to cover speed. I think I would qualify as the slowest woman on earth.

Darlene, you do not. The way your brain works is amazing and please do not short sell yourself. I thoroughly enjoy reading your posts and would not if they were slow!

If a picture paints a thousand words you painted several thousand! Very original take indeed and yes, I got the point.

I knew that you would! Thank you.

I will ride with you. The slow speed of your vehicle will allow me meditation time. Fantastic photos and a great presentation, as usual.

You spoke volumes with very few words.
Original.
I’m always curious about the genesis of ideas…did this one pop into your head or did you have to ruminate on it for a bit?

I was quite frustrated not being able to generate the right ideas for a post from the very moment I got your mail with the subject. Normally, I write the post on the Saturday following the weekly post if the subject is already announced, or immediately after it is, and schedule it for publishing the next Friday. In this case, I finally sat before the computer, on Wednesday, with a blank mind and decided to post whatever came into my mind. As soon as I opened the ‘New Post’ box, the idea hit me like a sledge hammer. I suppose that the subconscious was working all the time!

Send me some of that wine. Stop hoarding it!

I found the pictures so right for the word speed. I especially enjoyed the last picture. I’m just going around saying hello to my fellow members in LBC. I’m so looking forward to my first post on Friday. I noticed some called you Ramana while you’re listed as Rummuser, how do I address you in comments and emails?

Anything that you fancy. A whole list is there in my blog under “About”. After all what is in a name? A rose by any other name will still be a rose!
