The houses backing on to the brook in Temple Fortune

Jess had her close up moment last week so now it's Jinx's turn to shine.

Oh beautiful, what a gorgeous face

Dutch iris in full bloom

Jinx is just lovely! Beautiful flowers, too.

I'm not sure if Precious is yawning, laughing, singing ... or getting ready to bite me!

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...
