6 More flowers
7 View back to the farm
8 A new thistle
9 This tree doesn't look very alive
10 Elderberry just about to come into flower

You have it with the wild geranium, I would have said the butterfly could be a speckled brown had you been here, but not sure for where you are, and its a rabbit romping in rural realms with rather risky roamings realistically.


Nurse the medicine has worn off, nurse can I have a noggin of night nurse for nocturnal nombrilism....................iv got a headache now.

Some atmospheric shots there.

Today in Pictures, not far from home today, and more or less in the same place, but hopefully with a slightly differing viewpoint.

The Wharf, Leeds Liverpool wet bit.

Shame I couldn't go yesterday, bluer skies and probably more kites, but what can you do?

You have to work with what you have.

Looks like it was a bit of a grey day - nice to see somewhere I used to go past so often -walked home from school along here many a time! Number 9 is my favourite.

1-4 - photos of the first day the new heifer barn was inaugurated, all shiny and new -the ladies seem to like it!
5-10 - new irrigation system on it's first official try-out yesterday evening - it's all plumbed into an underground-pipe/pumping system, so no tractor's are used to pump the water. Clever stuff and it works.
The man on my bike is Alberto, the farm owner, he usually drives one of his Ferrari's -though you wouldn't know looking at him that he could afford one!

I was getting a bit excited there Dianne, I thought it was slurry they were spraying.
Brought back a lot of happy memories.

Dianne, your pictures are lovely.....and I really like that you call the beasts 'ladies'.

Dave.....I have a cure for your nombrilism......I will replace your belly button with a press stud. .
It will only hurt for a minute or so.

In fact, I think it gave them energy.

The first picture is a sea snail...nothing much of interest in that but the barnacles to the right and above it look like a skull
Oh, yes...you can see that I carried on with the good ' stick to your ribs' grub.

#4 sucks

And there I was...Thinking that one would be your favourite Eric.
It was lovely.......and what is more, it was one of those meals I could prepare ahead of time and stick it in the oven while we went and 'played out'.
The top was all crusty and cheesy.
Being out and about meant that everyone had good appetites....it is the sea air that does it.

Great pics, bud, esp. the last two. Always fascinated by the cut. That looks like the bridge off which I took a drunken tumble Surprising there isn't a plaque or something commemorating the event.

Yeah ... and we're getting a nice breeze off the Pacific rite now ... it's giving me the munchies, or something is

I took a couple of pics the other day ... but I resisted the urge to show them. They were pics of ... wait for it .... SNOW But I thought that you had had enough of those.

[Margaret Pilkington]

Eric...I thought you had done with the snow.
For a second there I thought you were going to show me a picture of home made Moose Pie.
