We are back from our Caribbean cruise! We had a great time and some fantastic scuba dives. We were away 10-21st October 2006. We had a great time and did our first Scuba diving in warm water! The water was 84F, the last time we were diving in San Diego it was 54F.
Everything's OK!
This is a fish inside a ship wreck at 40ft. Normally the red color of
the coral doesn't show, but it is revealed using the camera flash.

Updated main page, updated Renee's page with pictures of some of her engraving work.
Sarah and Nellie make friends.
This rather large baby Great Horned Owl was on the hillside just below our house
on 25th June. There were 2 of them and a parent close by. I went close enough to get
a flash photo without causing them any real distress. They are big!
June '06 Mick visited Sarah for the weekend. It was a short trip, but we managed to fit in time with Phil & Joanne, Richard & Liz and also dropped in to see Mary and Dave as it was Dave's 60th!

This is a glass, laser etched by Renee! It is one of the first things she produced on her new laser engraver. This is one cooool gadget!
Liz's mum has a puppy! She is called Nellie
Easter '06 Mick visited Sarah in the UK. We spent most of the time with Richard & Liz. Sarah held a lamb at a farm and we went to Colchester Zoo; which was excellent!

Added some pictures from our recent trip to Peru.
After a long days walk we arrived at Machu Picchu. It was late in the day so the place was deserted, other than our guide who we had sent ahead to lie in front of the bus so that it wouldn't leave without us!
We were very lucky to get a close-up look at a Sloth, including its baby clinging tightly to its mother! We rescued this amazing creature from a tree which was soon to be washed away by the Amazon river.
January '06 Mick & Renee spent 10 amazing days in Peru. We visited both Iquitos to see the Amazon and Cusco to see Machu Picchu. Wow! Peru will be a future destination too as there are many more things to see.
