Beautiful picture of the Basilica, Mags.

Time for summer. Weeee!

Oh, yes. Summertime fairs. Great photo idea Tredici.



This guy was after my nuts. The fearless dog and I scared him away--for now.

What?!

Someone's been busy in the garden in Thames Ditton

The palms are blooming here.

Dotty the Westie on holiday!

What are you two babbling about? I do have a dog and he is fearless!

Definitely staying out of that discussion !
Dotty is a cutie.

My sister and I went to visit our Mum today, and as it was a lovely sunny day we took her for a walk by the bay. As we were sitting in a small gazebo-like shelter near the water, a robin landed in a tree behind us and started telling us off in no uncertain terms! We understood why when we spotted not only its nest by the roof of the shelter, but two little mouths opening and closing in anticipation of their dinner!

Well, it does look like someone's been dancin on the ceiling above those babies, SLiz.

I wondered about that footprint too... Hoping it happened before the roof was raised

ROFLOL! The things seen and heard in here!

The Aurora cruise ship

The good ship Pelican on the River Dart in Devon

Nothing like messing about on the river



The River Thames at Henley.

I'm loving all the flowers, fruits, animals and, now, boats - keep 'em coming!

In keeping with the current nautical theme, here's a shot of the "White Rabbit" from a couple of days ago when I was having brunch on Keppel Island.

A quartet of phone booths!

Great pic of the phone booths. Phone booths are becoming obsolete in the US because of all the cell phones.

This lantana is in my neighbor's yard. It's a bit more pastel colored than what is in my yard.

It's years since I saw the river Dart, I used to go at least every summer but hardly anyone I know goes any more so have to keep the memories.

Despite the heat I'll get my anorak on for this one. I've got the same signs already but not on the same pole. These designs were officially replaced in 1963 so very rare to have any around at all.

Sadly Totnes has changed incredibly even in the last 5 years, Sat. Very touristy and few remaining hippie quirky shops - loads and loads of people everywhere... and parking a nightmare. It was, however, nice to not see any empty/closed down shops though.

There is a nice craft shop in Totnes.

Rainy Day Roses



We're in the rainy season now, and had torrential rains this afternoon. I ventured down the garden path, umbrella in one hand, camera in the other...
These are dogwoods, and smell heavenly.

Not many ships around here to join in this theme!

This is Dusty having a feed and a hen circling him to see if she can have some too.
