Maybe this is a bit sexy for this forum, but this couple looked so good on Worthing beech.

THis is called West Copago Bore. The windmill broke down a good few years ago so we set up a solar pump which you see ot the left of the mill. The panels follow the sun around during the day and pumps the artesian water into that tank in the foreground and there are three troughs in different paddocks that water stock on.

Wow, great photos, everyone!

Here's another springtime kite.

Sheep at the trough.

Fab pics, everyone!!



Surfing at dusk
Lahaina, Maui

Beautiful pictures of Maui, bhs.

A geode containing amethyst at the Royal Ontario Museum. Their minerals section was a real delight for a geology student like me.

Now that is what I call a geode! The Geological Museum in London was always one of my favourites, and I have a much smaller version in my own collection but now lives in a box.

Now how many other people here would take a picture of an electricity transformer? And quite a few more than that actually.

I took this photo last week in north Wales. Castle Square, Caernarfon, viewed from the main post office depicting two monarchs. Caernarfon Castle, built over 700 years ago by king Edward I, is in the background, whilst the twin postboxes of the reign of Queen Elizabeth II are in the foreground.

The Blue Angels are back in town for a show on Saturday. They have been practicing all morning. Their flight path means that my house gets buzzed. Here is the culprit (everything shakes when he goes over). This was taken from my driveway.

Here's a typical row of cottages in the real Hampstead Garden Suburb, although the ones in Ealing and Guildford are identical types as well.

This very inquistive duck came right up close when I was picking something up, so I grabbed my camera instead!

lilyalli, it looks like the little duck is gilded!! What a pretty picture.

All the cottages and roads are very pretty, satguru. I've always wanted to go to Britain and it's nice to see it vicariously.

This afternoon we went to the Eric Young Orchid Foundation and the flowers are just amazing.

A lot of lovely pictures lately! And that orchid, for me? How kind

Naturally, being British, I couldn't let that solitary Blue Angel go without a picture of the Red Arrows - seen on their way up the Mall and about to fly over Buckingham Palace.

Love the Red Arrows and the Blue Angel! Where are the Snowbirds when I need them? Beautiful orchid.

The lilacs by my front door are almost out...

Magnolia blossom

The 1066 pub sign, in Battle high street, depicts a scene from the Norman invasion.
The walls of Battle Abbey can be seen in the background.

Thanks ysmay, and here's another British tradition of gardening in a park I went to for the first time today in Edgware.

Today's project involved weeds, lovely moist earth, various garden tools and quite a bit of energy

Today's project involved a delicious lunch at a restaurant on Lantau Island,looking out at this view, and then a doze on the sand and a paddle . This is how we often celebrate birthdays here. (In case anyone thought that Hong Kong is just a concrete jungle.)

I guess I must have thought HK on a concrete jungle becuase I was most suprised by your photo Beautiful sand.

It's the same for London, like all cities they have to end somewhere, and this is where it stops in Edgware. It's still within the London boundaries though.

The simplest British scene can look more interesting with the inclusion of the traditional red postbox.
This is in nearby Cuffley.

The New Mexico State Flower: The Yucca.

The Blue Angels doing their show at Beaufort Marine Corps Air Station

The Blue Angels are awesome. I've seen them several times. The Red Arrows aren't too bad, either and neither are the Snowbirds.



One of the lilac bushes from our yard. We have several. We have to enjoy these while they can. The flowers do not stay on very long.

By the Lake in Geneva

The beach again. It was a gorgeous day and lots of swimmers and surfers were out. On Sundays it's impossible for crowds though.
