I love how it sems to bloom more and more for each year. Last year, it
looked like parts of it was dying, but it was just because of the
drought. Now it's healthy again.

Caliban is a goof. Those pictures of him laying on surfaces with those
putty paws of his draped out in front of him are so funny and cute. I can
see why you say he makes you laugh. Emil is a big kitty, as is Caliban.
Your Island is so pretty and would be a great place to visit.

I'd love to have you visit.

Ooops... I couldn't really see the face, I did not know there were two
silver beauties in your family.

Great pictures, I enjoyed them a whole lot.

Cheers.

If you want to know who the people in the pictures are, look at my reply
to Joyce upthread.

Loads of pictures from our island holiday. The 'Pink toesises' picture
shows how their toes dry out and even crack a bit when they go outside,
but they will soon be pink and smooth again.

The 'After the storm' pictures were taken on the evening after we'd had
some 24 hours of storms and storm warnings. The weather station closest to
the island reported 26 m/s winds (I don't know what unit of measurement
you people use for wind velocity, but I see that this is about 58 mph).
The storm was quite spectacular, but I was happy that we didn't need to go
anywhere in our little boat.

There's a series of Caliban and Emil making half-hearted attempts to get
to know each other, then ignoring each other. Another series of Caliban
investigating the House Martin nest under the dock...

Wonderful pictures, Marina! Thanks for sharing. Miranda seems to
always be the lady while Caliban looks to be searching for some mischief
to get into.

I always love seeing pictures of Miranda and Caliban, but ESPECIALLY on
the island.

I can still remember when I first started lurking here on RPCA, and
reading about Frank and Nikki's marvelous adventures on the island.

Since I had a tuxedo kitty, at that time, too, I was especially
interested in pics and stories about the wonderful Frank and Nikki.

our childhood).

He looks like the type - someone you could have a lot of fun with. He
has a very friendly face.

Is this the niece who takes all those great food pictures? Your sister in
that picture looks like you, but with longer, darker hair. (At least from
what I remember of photos you've shown of yourself.)

Fourth pictu L-R eldest sister, Kaisa, Berit, half of Erik.

The picture of your oldest sister is who I thought might be you, but
I wasn't sure.

Thanks for saying who everyone is. You've talked enough about your family
that I was curious. I don't think you've discussed everyone who was in
those photos, but it was nice to put faces to your mom, sisters, niece
and cousin Ben.

Caliban is such a goofball. He always looks like he takes himself very
seriously, but he's in some weird position or location, or has a funny
look on his face.

He does seem to take himself deadly serious, which is why he always
makes me laugh. Miranda, OTOH, obviously has a sense of humour. Quite
wicked humour sometimes.

Yet she always looks very dignified. Pretty much the opposite of Caliban.

Yes, this is she. Not to forget all the great cat pictures. Kira's,
Kasper's and Emil's Meowmie.

whispers Her hair's gone grey, too, but she dyes it.

Oh, I thought this one was pretty funny, though still dignified. Overly
dignified, in fact. As in 'get that blasted camera out of my face.'
