Hi, the beginning of the end of summer ... :






Thunderstorm forecast for tonight :

 

[hunnymonster]

Not quite taken today, but less than 24 hours ago... I was just investigating a worn path across a patch of grass (camera off, lens cap on) when I heard a galloping type noise behind me...

 

[woof woof]

Jason, I love it

 

[Plain Nev]

Agreed. That's not something you see everyday.

 

[Cobra]

We're watching you! (Police checkpoint on the A3052, this morning)

And not hiding at all
Maybe they are on a tea break though

 

[Cobra]

Todays strawberries. I got 8 yesterday and 18 today.

Sadly mine are done and dusted, rather tasty though

Maybe they are on a tea break though

Such is possible. However...

Perhaps this sign, about 25 yards down the road, behind the white car, is what the police might call a clue.

A couple of quick snaps from my dog walk this morning, Nikon point and shoot Severn Valley country park ( reworked Highley Colliery)

Out of interest for those of you that upload you images direct to TP what sizing are you using ? My images always seem a little too big but down sizing them to less that 1mb TP tells me it's too large ?

Thanks all

The rain came - at last. It may sound strange, but we were hoping for rain after a long dry spell :

Mrs Blackbird on the roof over a few of the gardens across the neighbourhood this evening.

 

[Crotal Bell]

Opened the patio door for a blast of air and got an unexpected visitor, 2 choices
A - Wake the servants and order them to to rid me of the beast
B - Take a picture and let it be.

No contest.

A Gull flew over this evening and I pointed the bridge camera above my head and fired a burst, not too bad for a quick reaction shot.

Check out the tellie

I walked through the graveyard today which is something I rarely do. I was touched that there were fresh flowers on the graves of people who died decades ago. I didn't snap those and instead snapped the memorial.

I don't know how long the flowers have been there or if they're real but I think that little wooden cross at the base must have been placed (or replaced) there this morning as it was very windy yesterday, so, evidence that someone cares enough to visit.

 

[BADGER.BRAD]

Spotted the headless house maid of death ( or is it the deaf house maid as she has no ears ?)




Genuine full size dress making the wearer nearly as trendy as me !

 

[woof woof]

Golly. Were women really that shape?

They called them Child bearing hips !

A very good afternoon with the budget bridge camera.
