I got Zad to come along for the last shoot of 2006. The weather was cold but not cold enough to keep us from having a blast.

Happy New Year!

By the 1st century, Pompeii was only one of a number of towns located around the base of Mount Vesuvius. The area had a substantial population which grew prosperous from the region’s renowned agricultural fertility. Many of Pompeii’s neighboring communities, most famously Herculaneum, also suffered damage or destruction during the 79 eruption, which is thought to have lasted about 19 hours, in which time the volcano released about 1 cubic mile (4 cubic kilometres) of ash and rock over a wide area to the south and south-east of the crater, with about 3 m (10 ft) of tephra falling on Pompeii.

See no evil, hear no evil, speak no evil. Every once in a while you get lucky and catch a wild animal in the strangest poses. These are three from a series of about ten.

Great way to finish the year…received the first copy on Christmas Eve.

The Title? The Sleeping Wolves of course, what else could it have been!

Working on book number 2, but it will be several months before it is finished – it will have narrative as well as photos.

A fox once saw a Crow fly off with a piece of cheese in its beak and settle on a branch of a tree. “That’s for me, as I am a Fox,” said Master Reynard, and he walked up to the foot of the tree. “Good day, Mistress Crow,” he cried. “How well you are looking to-day: how glossy your feathers; how bright your eyes. I feel sure your voice must surpass that of other birds, just as your figure does; let me hear but one song from you that I may greet you as the Queen of Birds.”

The Crow lifted up her head and began to caw her best, but the moment she opened her mouth the piece of cheese fell to the ground, only to be snapped up by Master Fox. “That will do,” said he. “That was all I wanted. In exchange for your cheese I will give you a piece of advice for the future: do not trust flatterers.
