These trees were at the back of the site we stayed at. It was in Cornwall but overlooked the Devon countryside. I loved the view, even though I had to hop on and off a fairly unstable wall. The light was fabulous, just before a big storm.
These tiny critters, with all their detail, are fun to shoot -

I saw these two weathered farm buildings just sitting off the highway. Of course I had to stop and take their photo. There is something about old farm buildings that I really like. Especially when they have a lean to them. This one leans to the south which tells me it has survived many northern winter winds.

These gorgeous beach huts were watching the sunset on the coast of France. We have just cycled from Calais to Amsterdam and this was one of our stops for an outdoor beach dinner. Food tastes better outdoors doesn't it?! (Or maybe it's the all day cycling?).
Saw these on one of my contacts streams so went investigating cow pats to find some for myself! So minute they are only visible as tiny gleams. These Pentax shots are better than my DSLR shots, but I think the Raynox attachment might help next time.
Update - this one was a "private" attachment on a previous post in 2013. I was having a rootle through one of my fungi albums and thought to give it an airing on its own page now after making it public.
flickr have added their own tag and decided this is food - nomnom!
These ground cherries were grown by my son and his spouse in their garden this year. I love the thin paper-like covering that surrounds the fruit.
These beautiful roses are another gift from my neighbours. They droop over our dividing fence. Thank you neighbours 😊
Thank you for taking the time to look at my photos. If you choose to Fave my photos or leave comments, I am truly grateful for your input. Thank you very much 😊
These bacteria mats were pretty amazing to me. Primordial looking. This was taken at the Midway Geyser Basin with my camera resting on the boardwalk. These are bacterial mats that extend everywhere, surviving on the heat of the springs. So cool to see. I remain amazed at Yellowstone!
These cute grebes were seen passing each other (not friends I guess !) at Sepulveda Basin Wildlife Reserve. However, they are both breeding indicated by the black vertical stripes on their bills
These lovely hyacinths are in a large pot on my deck, the sweet aroma is heavenly and makes sitting out there a joy. They've come up without any help from me for a number of years now and they last a while. I love them and I hope you do too.
Wishing you a wonderful Springtime Saturday, now it's time to do some work in the yard. :-)
Bethel Park Pennsylvania, about a mile from where I was born.
Retired in 2001 from service, I probably rode on this 500 times as I lived along the line in two different homes growing up.
The building in the background was the first grade school built around 1905. I wasn't around then!
These gorgeous wombats are only a few months old, I was lucky enough to visit, while on Flinders Island, the home of a very caring lady who rescues joeys from their mums after roadkill, see below the story...

Many thanks for your visits, kind comments and faves very much appreciated.
These are Sandhill Cranes heading north to their Breeding grounds. I know why they are called cranes because one needs to crane one's neck in order to see them; they fly so high.
These milestones were placed on the roads of Russia in the 18-19 centuries.. Radishchevo village, Kuznetsk District, Penza Region, Russia.
These Trasylvanian cables make a fine open perch, in particular for the male Cuckoo, enabling him to cock and spread his tail and droop his wings as he swivels his body, something he does during courtship.
Thank you all for your kind responses.
These are my Nieces, Nephews, my Sons, and my twin Grandchildren at Christmas day just before unwrapping the presents,
Dedicated room for our tree and presents.
These guys are very skittish and hard to get close to. I usually see them on a fly-by as I'm doing something else! This one I caught in the nick of time before he disappeared behind some long grasses!
These three (not from our group) give scale to one of the remarkable rocks
See prior Flickr capture for a general view of all of the Remarkable Rocks from a distance.
These adorable furry creatures are native to the eastern Himalayas and southwestern China. They inhabit forested areas, particularly where there are steep slopes with dense bamboo cover, close to water sources. They are well adapted to climbing and tend to be solitary animals, spending much of their time asleep in the trees.
They are now listed as Endangered. It is estimated there are only 2,500 to 10,000 left in the world, living in the wild. As with many such animals, loss and fragmentation of habitat and poaching are the chief causes of their recent surmise. Needless to say, they are red in more ways than one!
Best wishes to one and all!
These beautiful American White Pelicans are starting a group feeding. You can see that they are picking up speed by the amount of water they are pushing up.
American White Pelicans cooperate when feeding. Sometimes, large groups gather in wetlands. They coordinate their swimming to drive schooling fish toward the shallows. The pelicans can then easily scoop up these corralled fish from the water.
They are extraordinary creatures and one of my very favorites. More shots to come ... I wish I had had the presence of mind to turn on the video recorder!

These ancient rocks are of volcanic origin. Rocky Cape is located between two large extinct volcanoes on Tasmania's north west coast. The Nut at Stanley (which we saw in the distance yesterday) and Table Cape to the east. The light the morning I took this picture certainly made me feel like I'd been transported back in time.
