Lol! No one is expecting you to! Just stay around and post when you can.

Nice photo and welcome to the Photo Forum Boris.

This lioness was in the Kruger National Park

Flowers from a family wedding

Taken last Saturday afternoon, a view of the Long Walk, stretching from the back gates of
Windsor Castle to the top of Snow Hill.

Trev, can I just say I'm thoroughly enjoying your pictures. This last one you posted is amazing! What a beautiful place.

A bit late in the year maybe (and in life?) but I've suddenly got an interest in gardening.
Nothing too fancy though, I'm starting small to lessen disappointment if it doesn't go as
planned. One of my first attempts is this heather plant. Hard to find somewhere that will
get enough sun in the garden but I've chosen the best place I could see. Fingers crossed.


(BTW It's clearly not lucky heather, I missed my step & sprained my ankle a few days after planting
it. I have pictures of the ankle too if anyone's interested. Lovely autumnal coloUrs. )

(Editted to try to get a less out-of-focus photo. Failed. )

The wedding cake - the happy couple are a Policeman and teacher and owners of a chocolate lab

Thank you Minkpenny I'm glad you like the photos, I'm having fun posting them :-)




Another heron photo, my favourite subject at the moment.

A year after they vanished this Woolworths sign remains, the lights are on but literally there's no one there. Such a shame, I still used them when I could find someone to take my money.

Good interesting photo Satguru, I'm still sad about the demise of Woolworths. The shops for some reason used to remind me of childhood, but the real sad thing was the holes they left in many High Streets, big and small, when they closed.



We've been having some wind and rain over the last couple of days but on a positive note it seems to have brought the chestnuts down to earth.

Thanks Trev. A typical London Underground station forecourt in Hendon Central. The line's overground here as so many are but more are not hence the name.

Glad to see some places still have red squirrels, ours have been forced into the edges of the country now.

These advertising signs are very common in many countries but very rare here due to strict planning law. Two together is almost unheard of. I think they brighten up the major roads although not everyone would agree. I think that's a seagull on the lamppost next to them.

That looks nice and peaceful, trev.

Can anyone identify this flower?

Zorba - it's a wonderful place to to sit and ponder the world :-)
Sorry I can't be any help with the flower, but a lovely picture of it though.



Autumn colour.

More trees from me as well, a nice suburban road in Golders Green

Siuch wonderful photos. Thank you to everyone for posting them. I've been so busy lately that I haven't had time to take photos let alone post them but today it is raining so that means a day inside playing and I finally took some pics ...

of rain!

That, Zorba, is an ornamental cabbage, as you might expect. There are several sorts and very lovely too.

Following my first attempt to post an image and messing up here goes again.I guess if first you don't succeed.......
This is a photo of Singapore harbour taken from the cable car that links the city to Sentosa Island.Hope it works.

edit by copago .. see if it works now!

The link you posted works (nice pic, by the way!), but the way that you have posted it is not quite right somewhere.

Edited- I think it must be the closing bracket after that last IMG. Try editing it in and see what happens.

Ozz was correct - it just needed the last bracket on the IMG .. great shot!

Thanks ozzz and copago,hopefully I'll get posting pics right yet.
By the way the two lines in the top left corner are the cables carrying the cars across the harbour.I decided not to edit those out though perhaps it would have improved the photograph.

Ren is correct -- flowering cabbage plant. Latin name is Brassica oleracea var. acephala

Taken from an apple orchard near Thomas Jefferson's Monticello. Down to the right is the city of Charlottesville, VA and the beautiful Blue Ridge mountains in the background.

Great photos everyone. Boris that is some view and I think the cables add to the photo no need to remove them :-)
bhs that's an impressive view.



I stumbled across this little chap today, I'm not too good when it comes to the names of fungi but looking at a book I think it's called Fly Agaric (Amanita Muscaria), but I stand to be corrected.

Thanks, Ren and Bhs. I've only seen the vegetable kind before.

For some reason that toadstool reminded me of Noddy.

Happy Halloween!

We were having a nice lunch in a restaurant when one of these flew in and sat on the back of the chair. I didn't have my camera ready but I found out where they were nesting and managed to get a few shots.

Just returned from a brief holiday with my daughter and grandson. This was the view from our window. Kangaroos grazed on the grass in the late afternoon.
