    Love the goat! I am a recent fan of goats myself. I feel as if he may be trying this shirt on for his girlfriend, and his expression suggests he does not love it but he may be resigned to it. He's a beautifully painted beast.

    Where it says "I gusta" , you should read "I like it" (pardon was a mistake, I mixed languages) :)

    Hehe, this made me chuckle, a goat? It's not a metaphor I hope>? :) I just had to google Murwillumbah, because I get it mixed up with Moolllolloolbah! Ahh how lucky are you? I hope you are getting a nore easter today. Today is so hot down here my mosutache wax is melting into my icecream :)

    My magic word is Womptula! I think google caters these words per geographical region!

    Just heading off to see what I have missed

    Hard to believe eh?

    Melissa, you have such a gift for combining images in a way that should appear strange, but instead they take on this quiet beauty and charm. I love this goat!

    A thank you to everyone for the encouraging feedback.... Good weekend to you Roberto. I removed the header as I felt like a clean and simple look (for now) and Andrew you had me looking up Womptula. The perfect word for Murwillumbah.... :)
