What better way to let someone special know that you are thinking about him or her, especially if you send something out of the ordinary? When is the last time you just dropped a note to say you care? I mean something different from forwarding the latest joke; something meaningful. When is the last time you sent a thank you note? Sometimes I like to send a thank you because someone went the extra mile with an act of kindness. The beauty of it; is free and simple. Send an Exotic Pet Post Card

I have put together a portfolio of some of my favorite photographs we have taken over the years and turned them into postcards so that you could start the New Year letting others know you care. Every photograph is exotic in nature. Some you have to look very close but there is an exotic animal or exotic flora in each and every one of the pictures.

Many of the beautiful parrot pictures were taken at Cedar Hills Birds in Lodi, CA. I have worked with the owners rather closely over the years and have a great deal of respect for them. Especially, the way they handle their birds. I doubt if any other bird breeder could come close to the care they show their birds. There website is Cedar Hills Birds. 110 N. Cherokee Lane Lodi, Ca. 95220.

Other pictures were taken at South Melbourne Zoo in Parkville, Victoria, Australia. I have other pictures from the Melbourne Zoo but I have to hold off on those until we can figure out who took the shots for sure. I have to thank two very close friends for these unusual shots.

I have oodles of pictures and it has taken a great deal of time and effort trying to remember who took what pictures where.

Several pictures were taken on long hikes along the Mokelumne River, the Cosumnes River, and at the Cosumnes River Preserve. Some of the pictures were from the Eldorado National Forest and the Stanislaus National Forest.

It gives me a great deal of pleasure that someone will get some use out of these photographs. To get them all in one spot, my dear husband George bought me a terabyte eternal hard drive for Christmas. I just spent the last several days hauling computers out of closets and the basement digging for pictures and putting them all on the new external drive. Besides, it gives me a piece of mind that all the pictures are backed up and in one spot.

I just reached one of those moments when the fireworks go off in your head (no not a stroke) I have been trying to find something safe to keep my new baby skunk, I plan on getting this spring. (When he or she isn't physically attached to me). I think this may be perfect. In fact, I think it is perfect for a lot of pets. I am referring to at home though it would be great for traveling too. Have I told you the story about traveling across country with two baby raccoons?
