AH'ers on Vacation (photos)

[BlackShanglan]

It's good to be back from my jaunt around the States and the United Kingdom. It seems, however, that I didn't leave many of you behind - at least, not to judge from the holiday snaps. I've posted a few so you can see what the other AH'ers have been up to as well as be bored to tears by my vacation photos (a mandatory rite of vacation passage).

Shanglan

 

[BlackShanglan]

A suspiciously familiar goose. I will charitably assume that it's not the one that hissed at me. That one seemed very dissapointed when I failed to flee in terror, and a bit sheepish (if a goose can be) when I explained politely to it that it was, in fact, only a goose.

 

[Lauren Hynde]

Well... Where are they? I'm dying to be bored to tears.

 

[BlackShanglan]

A rather charming pair ... perhaps I need to write a story about these two? I was too stunned with admiration during the visits with the other Shire horses to take any decent photos.

Patience is a virtue

 

[BlackShanglan]

All right, so he's not in the AH. But he SHOULD be! Look at the style on this lad. And he's only a goat in his pajamas. Really knows how to pose, as well - see that "check out my good side" gleam in his eye.

 

[BlackShanglan]

As in real life, the alpaca is a distant and tantalizing glimpse. I tried to get closer for a chat, but alpaca was a bit coy.Too busy with the friends and, um, the sheep ...

 

[carsonshepherd]

you're so silly. I missed you

 

[BlackShanglan]

And another object of alpaca interest. At least, I assume that's what this sultry little charmer meant by telling me to give her best wishes to Alpaca with the message "Thanks for proving the animal behaviorialists wrong."

 

[BlackShanglan]

you're so silly. I missed you

*nuzzle* Missed you too, dear one. It's good to be back.

That one is so cute.

Proof that the City of Brotherly Love has excellent taste. They've named a street after me.

An alley. Even better.

 

[BlackShanglan]

Some guy who was standing on a building. Every time I visit his city, I try to say hello to Mr. Penn, but he's such a way up there that I can never quite tell if he can hear me. Possibly he might at least have noticed the massive traffic jam centered around the horse dancing about Market Street and calling up to City Hall.

(And that is how I spent my summer vacation ...)

Indeed. And there's a pub in it. Perfection.

You know... Summer hasn't actually started yet...

Aw shucks.

Not sure you'd still say that if you'd seen the Shire horse they called Crusader. Now that lad has a PRESENCE.

 

[LadyJeanne]

Looks like you were in good company during your trip!

Welcome back.

 

[BlackShanglan]

You know... Summer hasn't actually started yet...

*laugh* Well, it's as much as I will be getting.

 

[English Lady]

Aw shucks.

Aww, no Horsey is quite like you! No other has inspired me to write about him or her...so you win hooves down!

 

[kendo1]

You were gone too?
I must have dozed off.

Funny, I thought the same about a spot in Provincetown.....I won't say who it's named after. The list goes on and one, myself included.

Shanglan:

Absolute great thread. I adore the pics and more importantly your presence. Welcome back dearest friend. I missed ya! Thanks for the wonderful glimpses.

Min: I'm so glad you had a great trip. I'm rather jealous, but more than happy you were there.

x12 to both of you.

Shanglan...in the briar patch now! You need a proper welcome home.
