20-08-2010/Nice Button and a few more things ......

[HISPAN]

Hello friends.This afternoon I hunted for one hours with an new assistant hunting very disciplined and obedient, not complaining about the heat, harsh soil or stubble ... and you can see in latest pics.
The hunt was in a stubble field near the coast in an area already known from other years . only findings of the last centuries. but in one hour could not ask for much more, then return to the nearby beach with the family to give me a refreshing swim in the Mare Nostrum.
greetings to all !

I'm not an expert on Snakes and do not differentiate but can be a of any of these species das show them the links at the bottom of the post, though it three during my days of detection, but I've not been bitten are snakes that live throughout the Mediterranean coast, within the trees and like the dry climate and soils with stones (in the fields of stubble), eat lizards and insects .... but they are poisonous, but the Viboras only kill five people a year and no Culebras.
The Viboras is the most dangerous wild animal in my area, their venom paralyzes the body part that has bitten and then the heart, the Culebra does not kill but leaves you in bed sleeping for a whole month, that has the most hidden fangs inside the mouth and inllecta unless Vibora venom.

Thank you for the information Hispan I've specialized in collecting oil lamps for the last 25 years (as you can tell from my avatar), you think I would have recognized that.

There are a lot of lamps for sale out there that people say are old, but really are not. As with buying any type of antique, I say, it's buyer beware. People need to do their own research when buying specific items. I've done research for years on oil lamps and I used to "pick" lamps for antique dealers to sell. A "picker" here in North America is somebody that finds antiques for other dealers to sell.
I used to do this as a hobby until last year when the economy went into the toilet here.

Love reading your posts Hispan.

is a joke ... I suppose that the lamp will be old.
But the last thing mentioned is an error .. the economy you had gone to the toilet in the world, here we have a government atheist (totally inept)
