This pair was seen on a rooftop terrace in Guanajuato, Mexico - and were wooing each other with courtship rituals.

Was yesterday (Monday 24th September) a slow day in the UK?
September 25, 2007There was a massive rush of traffic to this site you see, much more than usual.. Monday Morning Mutiny! Too right..

Chapada Diamantina – dusty ramblings in an oasis

September 18, 2007Moving chronologically forward from the post, Killing time – post carnival Salvador, we land in mid July, 2007 – a little further north than before.
