I took this while egg rolling on Easter Monday. We couldn't go on Sunday due to my dad working and my niece and nephew were at a christening.

Also from the rare breeds centre - a very rare breed indeed

Would that be "cowlamity Jane"?

And the prize for pun of the day goes to (drum roll)

Ertrum

Seems all I post are roses lately but they havent stopped since Christmas.

Storm clouds over Harlow- it was hail, lasted a couple of minutes and started as soon as I left the car but did get under a tree in time.

It was 9 years ago yesterday we collected Lady from the Newcastle cat and Dog Shelter

What a doll!

This is the back yard of a friend of my sister's - out in the country, of course. The pond used to have trout in it, but the ospreys and herons got them all. There are still lots of frogs, some small fish and also muskrats (though I didn't see any of the latter).

Those hail clouds certainly made good photography, this is just on the south of Harlow

Lady is lovely, Gee!

Here's some pelicans flying in formation.

Forgive the wobbly photo, I got over excited!

Looks yummy!

Here's Precious, looking like she'd never, ever even think of being naughty!

I have a cat who does that! We call it "Making beautiful eyes" Interpret as "Look how perfect I am! I deserve a snack, now!"

She's been helping me today with the laundry, and whilst I was taking some photos.

I wanted to post something commemorative today,so here's a close up of a tote bag that was a gift from my niece when we visited the Titanic exhibit when it was in Toronto a few years ago.



The handle on the bag broke the first day I used it. The only time I wore the Titanic tshirt I got at the same time, the Blue Jays lost the game I was attending. I thought of wearing the tshirt today, but decided not to...

A church in Warlingham, Surrey

Lovely.

Nice photo satguru - I love the lighting!

"Is this the road to Amarylis?"
Ooops, sorry I suppose you will have that song on the brain all day!

Yes!

But at least it got rid of the one that had been stuck there...
drip drip drop little april shower ...

Thanks Mike, those April shower skies really make the shots dramatic.

More dark clouds but this time it didn't hail or rain, this is on the North Downs near Warlingham

I only took 516 photos in Ireland. I am still sorting them out but thought that I would post one while I get on with looking at them and trying to decide if reflection from the coach window can be removed from some of them - most were taken from the moving vehicle.

Copago: we have lots of pelicans here, but I can honestly say I've never seen ours fly "in formation" (like geese). Nor the ones in Mexico/Caribbean either. That's pretty cool.

Ren: lovely am's

Sue: might want to consult Flopsy. She's a photoshop expert extraordinaire : ) The one you posted is very nice though!!

Chavs: that's one GLORIOUS picture. Absolutely LOVE the dewdrops (careful with those though, sometimes I can see myself in the ones I've taken - very unnerving for viewers no doubt LOL) That sort of photo opportunity is few and far between, so congrats on a job very well done : )))

Gee, Jakeroo, thanks!

And yes, Sue, feel free to upload any photos you want to Photobucket and I'll see if I can do anything. Reflections are probably not removable but the dull glaze you get from glass might be open to correction. Email one to me as a trial if you want.

PhotoBucket is tomorrow, I am knackered! I have cropped out some of the glare where it is on an edge of the photo.

Sue, that is so beautiful! Beautiful scenery and a very beautiful shot.


Jakeroo, thank you very much, I was trying (but failed) to capture the delicate pink colour in the oxalis flower and it happened to be one of those showery days and some raindrops still hanging around.... it's a purely lucky click! I have no idea where that drop came from, must have snuck in there at the last minute, so I got a nice surprise when I uploaded.

And thanks for the tip, lol! I will dress well for future camera shoots just in case.

If froggy would a wooing go where would he find another one like this?

I can't imagine! But they say there's someone for everyone so maybe one of us will find his partner. I'll keep my eyes peeled.

I've had varying results from moving vehicles, but besides some new cameras appearing to freeze motorway shots at 70 mph (not mine though) I've found certain angles and distances from the window seem to work the best and as well as some lovely views I'd never have had otherwise from the Eurostar in Belgium in 1998 which were thoroughly ruined by the conditions I've had some good ones recently by experimenting.

These are a row of brand new houses by the North Downs in Whyteleafe.

Blarney Castle, and no, I didn't go and kiss the stone, it was about 100 steps to get to the stone, and 100 to get back down!
