Lovely pix, Noorie! Identification please ![]() It would be nice if you put the names next to each pic... I agree Mandrake, and I am really sorry about it. But I've gone back and rectified it. As 4 identifying the pictures, I am working on that. Noorie ![]() "During times of universal deceit, telling the truth becomes a revolutionary act" "You have enemies? Good!

I was in such a hurry the other day that I messed it all up; and although I've identified several of the pictures, it's not possible 2 do that 4 all of them in the same post. I am so sorry. The other option is to re-upload them again in a new post along with the tags, which is quite a bother; I think I've learnt a very good lesson 2day. ![]() To make up 4 that somewhat, I've added a few new pictures along with the old post, this time with info tags. And there are still a few more left, I'll try 2 upload those maybe today; but never 2gether and in a bunch!! ![]() ![]() Noorie ![]() "During times of universal deceit, telling the truth becomes a revolutionary act" "You have enemies?
