Woke up this morning to find an intense sky so I grabbed my camera and photographed this a few yards from my home.
Slightly blurry because I was handholding when the camera setting was 1/15 seconds @ 70mm
Norland Road, Holland Park
In the background are Norland House and Poynter House in the Edward Woods Estate.
This Laughing Kookaburra was intent on catching at least one more snack before the sun disappeared. And some preening.
Here's the hard-working parent, with the food. In a few seconds both birds flew to a suitably difficult-to-photograph location and the doomed bug was transferred beak-to-beak.

A Metroline Wright Eclipse Gemini 3 bodied Volvo B5LH on Route 260 comes past a Superloop Metroline MCV EvoSeti bodied Volvo B5LH on Route SL8 at Shepherds Bush Station. A bit of a grab shot in the rain as we ran to the Underground station the other side of the road but I like it.

C77 Stock DM 5733 leads a King's Cross St. Pancras - Hammersmith service into Shepherds Bush Market.
Engineering work meant that there were no services east of King's Cross St. Pancras this weekend, and therefore no distinction was being made between Circle Line and Hammersmith and City Line services.

The Harrow routes where announced on tender before the 72, but where already earmarked to take its buses....With the Hammersmith Bridge saga, the DPS from SO have moved over to S with the DEs going the other way. DPS639 is one of those still in its Sovereign identity. It is seen here outside Chiswick Health Centre on Route 272
This lady suddenly landed right in front of me. Actually a fraction too near for perfect focus. And unfortunately I didn't find the seconds to zoom out a little. In a second or two she moved away.
I reviewed the pics for a moment or two, not noticing a huge snake only four metres away. Until it suddenly started slithering into the undergrowth beside the path. Maybe that's what this one had dropped down to look at.
07/05/11. Shepherd's Bush Common, London. A Transbus Trident chassis and Transbus President body.
[Route 607]
Travelling to Hainault to say, "Hello," to the little red Sandite train. I do miss the old green tiles here though that used to scale the tunnel walls; when the trains used to approach here, the reflection of the headlights shimmering off the tiles almost looked like water cascading sideways.

Volvo B5LH/Wright Gemini 3, based at Shepherd's Bush (S) Garage of London United-RATP. VH56.
I was being annoyed by Radio 4, so I got up rather before sunrise, and saw that the sky was clear and there was even a bit of a frost. Then I noticed cloud coming in from the West, and I was wondering whether the sunrise would be beaten by the clouds. In the event, there was a sunrise and before the Sun came up it illuminated the underside of the incoming clouds, producing the effect seen here.
Although the sunrise covered most of the sky I found that the most satisfactory composition seemed to result from going in fairly tightly on the most colourful area.
Shepherds Bush .
the pub ; The old watering hole, where everyone knows your name, they are always glad you came and fights are part of their fame is one of the few institutions that nearly everyone agrees is a stalwart of true British-ness. They symbolise our resolve, our character and our love of all things addictive. So here are some facts to leave you legless.
# Rod Stewart once had a spell working as an undertaker.
# The Edge’s parents are Welsh.
# Michael Nesmith’s mother, Bette, invented Tippex. He sold the rights for £28m in 1989. Possibly why he’s never as keen as the rest of them to do the reunion tours.
# Shane MacGowan, despite being a professional Irishman, is actually English.
# Morrissey’s Dad once had a trial for Manchester United in the wake of the Munich disaster.
# Ozzy Osbourne read for a degree in Philosophy at the University of Los Angeles in the 1980′s. He achieved a second-class pass.
# Noel Gallgher was a roadie for the Inspiral Carpets.
# Bryan Ferry’s son Otis is an over-privileged twerp who, if he’s so keen on letting posh people hunt with dogs, should be forced to wear a fur coat smeared in fox piss and run around a field.
# Sting can famously hump his interestingly-featured wife, ‘actress’ Trudy Styler, for up to five hours at a time due to tantric sex and that. I probably could too, for different reasons.
# R.E.M.’s Peter Buck once threw a pot of yoghurt over an air stewardess due to a combo of air pressure and prescription drugs and not, absolutely no way José, because he was pissed
There are approximately 53,500 public houses in the United Kingdom; a number that declines every year, so that nearly half of the smaller villages no longer have a local pub. In many places, especially in villages, a pub can be the focal point of the community. The writings of Samuel Pepys describe the pub as the heart of England.
Public houses are socially and culturally different from places such as cafés, bars, bierkellers and brewpubs.
Pubs are social places based on the sale and consumption of alcoholic beverages, and most public houses offer a range of beers, wines, spirits, alcopops and soft drinks. Many pubs are controlled by breweries, so beer is often better value than wines and spirits, while soft drinks can be almost as expensive. Beer served in a pub may be cask ale or keg beer. All pubs also have a range of non-alcoholic beverages available.
Traditionally the windows of town pubs are of smoked or frosted glass so that the clientele is obscured from the street. In the last twenty years in the UK and other countries there has been a move away from frosted glass towards clear glass, a trend that fits in with brighter interior décors.
