Practising for Halloween I reckon!
Wow , the pictures are so super already this month and it's only the 6th!

Jess is adorable, and well Precious I guess she is just jealous, and wanted her picture taken.

LOL at Precious .. nice capture, Liz!

Some swans making themselves at home on the newly filled swamp.

Sunset outside Hertford

Nice pic, Sats.

Jinx loves the water.

Thanks Jillian, this was not far from there but before the sun went down.

Just over the road you can see the rain we'd had a couple of days earlier

Susie waiting to go for her walk this morning

Susie is beautiful!

More water.

Another scene from rural Hertfordshire

After a couple of lovely warm days, it has turned colder again, and snowed on and off most of the day.

Blossom coming out on the bridleway where I walk Susie

One of the joys of springtime in my part of Australia. Of course we're now entering autumn/fall so these guys are far less active. It's a copperhead snake photographed from a safe distance(!) while we were walking on Phillip Island (at The Nobbies). And yes, they are venomous :-)

I headed towards the Kent border today to mop up the final four old road direction signs in London, and here is one of my favourites, the yellow map, which are now the rarest as more were on major roads and went before the blue local signs we have many more of (I got one today as well).

Great picture Mike, but I think I would have been going in the opposite direction rather quickly!

I didn't know that copperheads were in Australia as well as in the USA.
(And now I see that Wiki tells me of at least four different kinds of snake all called copperhead, all but one venomous)

An absolutely typical 1930s London suburban shopping centre, Eltham

A crop field in Cobham, just a few Brussels sprouts left on the edge

Some parts of the UK are already talking water shortage fortunately not here,the local pond is looking at its normal spring level

I called into my friend's vintage clothing and antique store today, and found someone new manning the desk...

Liz, how lovely! I expect to see you wearing it, I know you like hats!

Bostall Heath east of Plumstead.

A couple of weeks ago someone contacted me and asked if a name and address meant anything to me,it was my grandfather and the address of his shop in Edinburgh. They had a hat brush from the shop which they kindly sent to me. My grandfather died in 1936. This is the brush.

My Dog Dozer. He is looking at fish swimming in a small inlet at our pond. He is just fascinated by them.

Gees, that is amazing to receive that brush after all those years! Tori, Dozer looks anything but dozy!

Or is Dozer like my sister-in-law's Blue Heeler, who used to bulldoze through everything in his way - people, tables...?

Gees that is amazing to come back to you!

Dozer is short for Bulldozer.(You had it correct Mike) From the time he was born he bulldozed through everything. He is very energetic but very lovable. He believes he is a lap dog and will jump in my lap every now and again. Once even tipping my recliner over!

First picture of our local stag for 2012

And I got a better one today

Nice photo Gees! Prompts me to add mine...
