My all time favorite is the Abbey Road, London live webcam. It was raining there when I looked a few hours ago.

Cheers....Thanks bunches for the links to these Live Cams!!!

I had to chuckle right now, watching 4 young people, who evidently couldn't make up their minds on which way they wanted to go. Crossed back and forth twice. If they only knew someone in Chicago was watching them crossing back and forth across the street. These particular live cams, are really good...moving in real time. Thanks again, Cheers!

They may have been Beatles fans. People come from all over the world to cross that zebra crossing. Weird but true.

Edited to add: Just after I posted that I went to look and saw a guy take off his shows, run onto the zebra crossing and then pose for a picture walking barefoot. He was being Paul Mccartney!

This is a couple of doors down from where I'll be house-sitting, always makes me drool when I walk the dogs:

Have fun aviva!
Here the ravens get them if they are out and about so you have to time their walkabouts after the ravens have had their breakfast . Their pens have to be up off the ground too because the racoons will bury under the fence. I was really mad about this son of a lady who I used to garden for. They have farmed here for the last 50 years and after the lady died, the son let the ravens get all the chickens .

That is absolutely beautiful! Having said that, I would not want to live there. Stately homes and mansions have never appealed to me as crazy as that might sound.

I just want a comfortable home, nature, and my pets. To me, that's paradise.

Unconscious sort! Fortunately these ladies are well protected and valued for their contribution. The owners had a duck who was in love with one of the chickens, but drove it crazy, so they re-homed it to a duck sanctuary. So sweet! I miss the quack quack tho.

That is such a cute story!!

I love the ducks and chickens, too.

One of the things that really makes me smile when watching the British property shows on the iplayers (such as Escape to the Country) is that many people have chickens and even other animals outside. I love it!

That poor duck is probably love-sick

They are passing new bylaws in Vancouver so that people can have chickens in their yard. They already can in Victoria. A return to the old ways.

Eggs are down to $.99 a dozen here. No comment of how the chickens are kept.
