my favorite weed

I don't know what the vine is called, but it's a pretty picture.

Thank you. Just a snapshot, really, taken with my phone.

I like the fleur de lis above your wind chimes, too.

Of course! That wind chime was only $15. It has faded quite a bit but
I bought it because it was orange and green - my favorite colors.
I expected it to break (it's glass) at the first strong wind, but it
didn't.

Today as I went for my daily walk along the shore I spotted an interesting looking ship on the horizon.



Even at that distance it looked a lot taller than the tankers and coasters I usually see.

I judged it would pass me just before I turned inland and it did.



The RSS(Royal Survey Ship) Discovery, just left Southampton en route to Liverpool.




Total one of a kind. Now that is something you don't see everyday in South London!!

Wow!

Is that the ship "Sir David Atenbrogh" is replacing Bernie ?? ( all that sh#te with boaty mc boatface )

Is that the ship "Sir David Atenbrogh" is replacing Bernie ?? ( all that sh#te with boaty mc boatface )

No this is only 3 years old and replaced the previous "Discovery III".

So this is actually Discovery IV and as far as I can tell the newest in the fleet until the RRS Sir David Attenborough arrives possibly in 2019.

RRS Sir David Attenborough

Is that not the boat that should have been called "Boaty McBoatface?"

I am lucky in that I live on edge of my town and literally at the bottom of my road I am in countryside. At the top of my road I have a wooded area called Holt Copse and in May time it is absolutely beautiful with a carpet of Bluebells. Here are couple of photos that I took in 2006.





Here is one me playing with macro zoom in the camera

Coo, you have good eyesight, I had to look at original file to see it !

Wow. You live in a beautiful place!

Yes I think so, though I am more of a townie than a country person I find if I am feeling low or depressed a good walk makes me feel better.

Nice sunset tonight.

I live in area called Emmbrook in the town of Wokingham. The area is named after the River Emm (well a small stream actually), here it is on a frosty morning.



In the picture the river is quite full at about 2ft deep, as it had rained recently, normally its about 3-4 inches deep. In July 2007 during the unseasonal storms it really let rip. The photos below taken a different, literally at the bottom of my road. The pictures were taken from bridge crossing the river.

Many of you may remember I have posted several pictures of the common grey squirrel. Extremely common around south London

What you also may or may not know it that along with loss of habitat the imported grey has almost totally wiped out the domestic red squirrel in the UK.

Except in a few places. The Isle of Wight being one.

Today as I was reversing my car out of my dads driveway, I finally saw this on the neighbours lawn



Wonderful!!



"The Isle of Wight is one of the few places in England where the red squirrel is flourishing, with a stable population (Brownsea Island is another), and unlike most of England, no grey squirrels are to be found on the island"

I finally saw this on the neighbours lawn

Look at the tail on that inquisitive little fella!

It is a counter balance

Would it be a help to ship Canadian Reds in to buck up the
population, or does the language thing come into play?
