Henry, It Was A Wonderful Year!

 
So, when I was in the city I followed tradition and gave Henry my thank you.  
Darn it. I thought!!! I move slow with the camera. It must have a secret speed-it-up-button! 
Maybe I go later today to try again - Henry sure loves people filming him and saying thank you and then I will be sloooooow and re-post! It´s a maybe.
 
Snow? Not much longer! Today -6C / 21F. Soon:
 
 
 
Reckon again a visit to Perth Zoo makes no sense. Last time... "animals can hide in the shade" - they did! 
 

"These mathematicians changed the world 


 Hypatia (355–415) Hypatia, the first female mathematician whose life is relatively well documented, was an important thinker in Alexandria. She taught philosophy and astronomy."
 
Well, Henry 🦁, let´s look forward ...
 

 ... for all of us, no matter where you are.

Thank you, Jeanie. Every day at 5 p.m. the cathedral is on for 5 minutes - you hear it for quite a distance. The Duke Henry the Lion "is in there".

He has an eye on his people :-)

Iris Flavia said...

Thank you - I´m still learning, though...

The weather is shitty today... Let´s see what I can do. All through January one is to say thank you and when you look close, he gives you a secret smile - cheers to that!

RedPat said...

Henry looks quite proud, Iris.
-3˚C but sunny here.

He sure loves January, RedPat! Sunny it was here, too.

Iris Flavia said...

I liked the video very much. 8° is way too cold for me. LOL Wish you and Henry another great year.

River said...

Nice video. Adelaide gets Perth's temperatures a couple of days after and I'm not looking forward to it. I'm going to make sure I have enough of the essentials so I don't have to walk to the shops. i'll stay inside with the airconditioner running after I water the garden really early.

Iris Flavia said...

Thank you.

Iris Flavia said...

Thank you and yes, temps haven´t changed, brrr - too a great year for all of us!

Iris Flavia said...

Well, I´m not so sure right now ... again -6C that will be quite a shock for the body... And I didn´t get the cabin I wanted.

The bells are a welcome sound.
