Welcome to the November photo thread. The October thread will be left open for a while to allow for World time zones. It will close it once it is November 1st for everyone. Post in either thread (but not both) until then. Keep the good photos coming.

If anyone needs information on how to post photos, it can be found in the 'Photo posting guide' located at the top of the forum.

I'd have posted this last night, but the server was down. We had only three groups of halloweenie visitors this year, all accompanied by their parents, so I gave them a few 'gifts'. they were all quite cute!

I didn't think to take their photos, some were downright scary. This year I gave them fairy cakes which were in individual packing.

I couldn't get in last night, either, so here is my Halloween picture. My grandson wanted to be Peter Pan, and talked his aunt (my daughter) into being his Tinkerbell!

I've had this plant for three years and this is the first time it has bloomed.

More urban landsacapes, I was driving to my mum yesterday and snapped the crossroads at Golders Green Road with the North Circular Road. Just a typical view of London suburbia.

Nice flower bhs, worth the wait I'd say. Well the weather is getting colder here so I'm thinking of warmer climates. Here's a photo of our visit to Magens Bay in St. Thomas, Virgin Islands.

This was Winston's reaction to the Trick or Treaters last night. His ears were straight up and back like that most of the evening. He gave up barking after the first few.

I had an early Christmas present today. They are flashing Rudolf earrings and I shall wear them to the party at the old age home. They will be tickled pink, I reckon.

I love Winston's expression, Liz! And cute earrings, ren.

The area we live in is big for aviation and flight test because of the consistent weather and remote location. On Halloween I snapped this shot of the B-2 with an F-16 chase flying overhead.

We haven't had any snow here yet, but we had a pretty good frost this morning, as you can see from this shot of the railing of my deck.

Our trip to the pumpkin patch last week--this is what happens when I try to get both girls to stand still for a picture at the same time.

One of the greener roads of our London suburbs, right in the centre of Golders Green.

The top of the National Romanian Television building (twelve storeys high), as seen from my street...

Since I was talking about my new toy, my sand picture, I thought I would take a photo of it.

I've seen many of those in shops Sue, I have the previous version with no water in it and apart from jamming up a bit is still working after over 30 years! I think they're collectors items now, called Whamo Magic Windows if anyone remembers them.

This is another nice house and garden in Golders Green

Here's an oddity I spotted whilst waiting for the bus - somebody's lost glove stretched over the top of a fence post.

While camping on our holiday last summer this hedgehog came past our tent three nights in a row. the kids fed him/her a chocolate biscist which got eaten right up.

I at last started wrapping gifts today, ready to post to foreign parts soon. Its a start...

From my days at the airport. A Canada 3000 plane being pushed back. The company Canada 3000 no longer exits.

Had a visitor in my backyard this afternoon..

Inside a cactus flower - such a bland looking plant until the flower! Will post the actual flower tomorrow

oops sorry! Way too big ... Will change it now

This is the whole picture. I posted a cropped pic of the ferry in the boat theme thread. As you can see our boats run down hill Hmm will have to learn to hold my camera more even

peggy5, download Picassa2 free from Google and you will see an option to straighten your photos, it is very easy to use.
