A British photographer's adorable images of puppies, ducklings and even kittens in hammocks will brighten up any rainy day.
Master of cuteness Mark Taylor's images are in demand all over the world for the purr-fect way they capture a softer side to our best-loved animals.
His photographs are a legacy from his late mother Jane Burton who pioneered the style so familiar on calendars in offices and maths teacher classrooms everywhere.

Women cat owners are 'more likely to kill themselves' due to higher chance of infection with parasite found in feline faeces (http://www.dailymail.co.uk/health/article-2168089/Women-cat-owners-likely-kill-higher-chance-infection-parasite-feline-faeces.html)


From ducklings with puppies, to dogs with kittens and even rabbits Mark captures them all on camera as if they were the best and friends.
And thankfully so far he's had no case of any of them eating each other.

Mr Taylor, 47, creates his images all at his home studio Warren Photographic, in Guildford, Surrey.
His father Kim is a world-renowned wildlife photographer. His mother Jane, who died in 2007 after a brave battle against cancer, was one of the first to use a unique style now so well adopted by her son.
Mr Taylor, a father of one, said: 'There have been a few close shaves when we have put the different animals together, but we often "introduce" the animals to a rabbit in a cage first to gauge the reaction.
'If the dog starts licking its lips we know it might not work out well, and for example it's best not to put a Jack Russell next to a rabbit.
'I have helpers in the studio and some of the animals extras we have here, for example we have six rabbits, but others we have to bring in.
'The key to the photograph is making sure the animals are not doing anything they don't want to do because I think you can tell if they are not enjoying themselves.
'My mother was a pioneer if you like of this idea of using the clean white backgrounds and I like to think I am carrying on her legacy.'

Keeping it in the family Mr Taylor's daughter Siena, 10, is also on hand to pose up with the animals in the pictures.
Mr Taylor, who uses a Cannon 1DS Mark III camera, said that he felt his photographs were so popular because they tap into an desire in us all to relate to animals.
He said: 'I think the fascinating aspect of this type of photography is that it taps into something in us all that sees ourselves and human emotions in our pets and other animals.'

One of my female cats is knocked-up, she should be having kittens within a month or so.

She is pure white and I believe the Tom is black and white.

Anybody want one?

I was searching for hammocks and rediscovered this thread. It has hammocks in it, plus other things besides.
