More cute little frogs from my SIL's place, stacked to look cheery with their funny grinning mouths. It took me several goes at stacking the frogs, they just didn't want to co-operate....

South Stack, Anglesey, Wales
South Stack is an island situated just off #HolyIsland on the northwest coast of #Anglesey. It is famous as the location of one of Wales' most spectacular #SouthStackLighthouse. The cliffs are 130m high on average. Standing here you can see sea traffic in the Irish sea between Belfast and Liverpool and Cardiff. The jagged rocks and monoliths at the base offer a spectacular view with shallow, emerald waters - and are as deadly should you trip and fall.
These #Precambrian cliffs are one of my favourite in the whole of UK, and are home to some of the most important sea bird colonies in #Wales. During June and July the sea cliffs here are packed with sea birds - mainly auks including puffin, razorbill and guillemot.
From the cliff tops here you can look down and watch the birds swimming, as they fly underwater in search of fish and sand eels.
During the breeding season up to 3,000 Guillemots and 700 Razorbills will nest here, precariously balancing their eggs on the narrow ledges.
You'll also find a small Puffin colony here and predatory Great Blacked-backed Gulls swooping down to grab chicks from any unattended nests.
Aside from the bird life, #SouthStack is also famed for its plant life and one plant in particular, can only be found here in the whole of Britain.
The plant in question is known as the Spathulate Fleawort and is a rather plain yellow flower, not dissimilar to a tall daisy with yellow petals. You'll find it growing along the edges of the sea cliffs, so tread carefully.

Sea Stacks, Bandon Beach, Oregon.
Ah, love, let us be true
To one another! for the world, which seems
To lie before us like a land of dreams,
So various, so beautiful, so new,

My wife has carefully balanced these pumpkins in the backyard. You think I'm going to let that pass? The bottom one looks like it's getting squished.

For me an excellent lens, it is sharp up to the corners.
Not bad for a lens from 1980.
Sorry for a late upload today. Ran into some technical issues today and took me all day!
Happy Friday!

Running hot ahead of the Northstar Commuter train, these stacks hustle through the Anoka Northstar Station with a clear shot to St. Cloud.

Popped over on the ferry to visit our friend Mark who has Leukemia currently in Southampton General Hospital. Just before his bone marrow transplant. It has been a long journey and hopefully this is the last tunnel he has to travel before finishing his treatment. There is a light at the end of this tunnel and everything is crossed at the moment.
HaPpY FeNcE Friday have a great weekend.
Got a new toy too, so trying out on the day, instant social media publishing.

Another shot from Easter Monday....
this was taken from the cliff at Downpatricks Head, Ballycastle, Co. Mayo. My brother-in-law, Stephen, goes caving and knows all these wonderful and amazing places. So our family all packed 2 cars and headed off on an adventure tour along the west coast of Ireland :)
This huge rock with all it's different layers "stacked" (that looks a little like a dinosaur foot) was just off the coast, it was rather windy, so I thought it safer to lie on my stomach on the cliff edge rather than stand ;-)
Thanks for all the views, comments and faves :)
A summer storm blows up as the sun goes down and the bright moon goes up. The top of the storm is back lit from the moon while the side of the storm had twilight mixing in. This picture is a 21 picture stack of that adds up to a total exposure time of 12.7 seconds. Picture was taken after sun down on July 19th, 2013.
