Shot at the Calgary Zoo.

Gotta love the Snow Leopard....

I like your Avatar....I saw a road sign exactly the same as that up in the mountains (30min from home) it stayed like that for ages until it was either replaced or repainted....what a shame...

And I notice you live in Canada so the snowing Kangaroo is appropriate....apart from them being a native "Australian" animal and all...

Yeah, this is a sign that was in Canberra, I stayed there for about 5 months a few years back

Cool....
Canberra is a nice place, my girlfriends Mum lives there.....a bit small for my liking though....I guess I'm used to my busy Sydney lifestyle

Haha, I don't think I could have put up with the Sydney lifestyle, I like my life to be a titch more quiet than that

Cool, I do like an escape from time to time...

But I am very blessed where I am as I'm 45min from the city, 90min from the coast, 45min from the mountains, 180min from the country and 15min from my girlfriends house

those are pretty good numbers, although we Canadians scoff somewhat at the aussie's idea of a mountain
