Auntie, I remember my mother bringing home bunches of boronia when it was "in season" and the boronia sellers were selling it on the city streets. I wonder if they still do that?

As we seem to be on a flowery theme, here's a many-flowered orchid. Just don't ask me what sort!

It's a cymbidium orchid flopsymopsy, and a very pretty one.
I had hoped for a good display from mine this year - until I caught one of my chooks who had flown onto the plant stand and was lunching on the choicest buds!

I've been using the long days to get as far as possible before it gets dark, this is a typical thatched cottage near Selsey on the south coast.

Precious doesn't look very comfy here, but this is one of her favourite places to sleep.

Female swan preening and pretending not to notice.
I realised I might be interrupting a courtship ritual, so I tiptoed discreetly away.
I'll post photos of any cygnets that might ensue.......

We were treated to a nice sunset a couple of days ago.

This caught my eye the other day

A typical country pub including its location on the wall.

I've been busy! I delved into the depths of my freezer and cooked up most of the fruits that were surplus last summer.

A farm outbuilding, that I pass when I take the back road into town.

I went to look at some birds today and this one looked right back!

Wow. he did ,didn't he!
Here's yesterday's BBQ table

Another bird (kookaburra) who is interested in photographers.

What a mouth-watering spread, Ren!
Fur and feathers, architecture, horticulture, climatic features; this thread just keeps getting better.



This bird was less interested in me as a photographer than in the possibility I might have a pocketful of stale bread. (I didn't).

A church in Rickmansworth, northwest of London

Here's some of my birthday cake for everyone

oh yum!!!

I told this one that Ren called the female falcon "he" and it gave me a funny look.
