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

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.

July 1st - Happy Canada Day from the third floor

Happy birthday Canada. Time to relax in my garden yesterday.

Puerto Soller harbour a quieter part of the wonderful Island of Majorca

My flats wehre i live from Cricket ground, just wish the white stuff was about now as is to hot for me.

Can anyone identify this bird for me? I photographed it in the sea bird sanctuary at Sea Life Park on the island of Oahu (Hawaii). I think it is some type of albatross but I'm not sure.

I think it may be a Frigate bird... not sure though

Sherry, I think you're right, but that link didn't work for some reason. Here is one with his red chest puffed way out!

Ugly little blighter, but I bet his mummy Frigate bird loves him...lol

This is one of the shopping centres near where I used to live, Muswell Hill Broadway

We went to Durrell today, had a picnic on the grass. It was a bit warm, perhaps not the best day to go with hindsight as many of the animals were probably in the shade.

Ah!! My lilies are arriving.

We had a lovely lunch here today.....

Sue,
Not the cute cuddlies you want the grandson playing with are they?
argus,
Gorgeous, that's one of my favorite colors in lilies.
lilyalli,
I'll bet that building was neat inside too!

Happy Canada Day to my fellow Canadians

Seven people and two doggies enjoyed a Canada Day meal at my sister's, including some good old Canadian back bacon. This is my first plateful.

Edinburgh Castle from Princess street

love that photo Lily, reminds me how much I miss north Norfolk and those big skies...

Makes mental note to visit Edinburgh - never been!

That's a very cosmopolitan plateful Liz... yum

Love the orange lilies.

Those tiger lilies were among my mothers favourite flowers, she would have loved these. What a coincidence, as someone just told us the best view of the castle when we are in Edinburgh is from Princess Street. Fabulous. And drool, drool ... i think you just ruined my diet, lol.

These black tailed deer, native to Vancouver Island are really miniature at full grown stage. One would think they were looking at fawns, but that is as big as they get. The city is kind of overrun with them ... this one had an injured back right leg .. probably hit by a car ... and had to hop along like a kangaroo. It was so sad. I saw her, and several others the morning before last, when i went out to walk and photograph the sunrise over the Pacific.

Almost expect Arkwright to come out of the door of this traditional ironmonger's shop in the small Welsh town of Montgomery - photographed on our cutch this morning

Can recommend the Tea and scones here...

Great shots everyone!.


My bleeding heart came up late this year but once it started it filled in nicely.

I was visiting my sister-in-law in northern New Mexico last night and this next-door neighbor came over to the fence later, begging for treats.

its a chick of a frigate bird

I have a thing about straight roads (we have very few in the UK) so take many when I find them. Much of the buildings in west London are like these, not my personal preference but very typical of the area. These are in Maida Vale.
