Why spend all that money on security alarm systems to keep your house safe from intruders, when you can just grow vines.
I know some of you will say, “just get a dog to protect your property.” Which is on the whole a decent suggestion, but what about Chihuahuas or other small dogs, who could be stepped on. Also, there are those really friendly dogs, who would lick an intruder and sit for a treat with tail wagging.
No! I am afraid the best solution is vines or briars.
How many robbers have the wherewithal to carry a chainsaw with them. They would just pass you by.
This house is so well protected that they can leave their door open a crack without fear of a break in.
When we ran a Post Office, pens and pencils were forever going walkabout! The supplies department would send us these toppers that would be affixed to these items, hopefully to stop them disappearing constantly!

I had a wander around London today and couldn't resist the way the light was playing on this security guard.
Photo taken outside the Globe Theatre.
Just across the river Irwell (bottom of the picture) is the Greengate area of the City of Salford; I took this picture from the Manchester side of the river. An estimated £950 million of investment was planned for building work between 2016 and 2020 with a further £900 million between 2020 and 2026. The Greengate area sits in the heart of Salford where the vision for the future, as far ahead as 2040, is for it to become a distinctive place to live, work and to attract visitors. These building sit on the site of the old Manchester Exchange Railway Station; even thought it was in Salford. From 16 April 1929, Exchange Station had a platform link to the adjacent Victoria Station, (which is still in use today and is in Manchester), thus creating Europe's longest platform at 2,238 feet (682 m); it could accommodate three trains at once.
Five minutes before I took this I was asked to stop taking pictures of the two buildings centre and right, by security. I asked why and was told I was standing on private land. I was on the bridge to the right of the image, so I stepped off the bridge onto Victoria Street and took this picture. Now standing on public land in Manchester I can now take a picture legally; how stupid is that?

Candid street photography from Glasgow, Scotland. Opting for a square crop and breaking the composition 'rules' in the name of storytelling - I just loved the framing for this shot with the CCTV camera pointing directly at this member of the bar staff sitting outside. It was especially striking to me with the t-shirt showing a face covered by a balaclava. Enjoy!
because family is everything...
For my heart sister, Cheryl
At first I didn't see any chicks, the mother had them tightly tucked away under her wings, she could easily fool the most advanced birder with her security method. Then to my joyful surprise the chicks poked their heads out. The parents made it hard for me to find them for they moved them from the nest to a nursery safely away from speed boats. Common loon chicks two days old.
Security isn’t high here, from the looks of things. But it has a lovely warm loving feeling saying welcome home.
Since the recent attacks in the UK a visible presence of armed Police has sadly become the norm...however, the Police are as much as possible trying to allay fears especially with children.....they are making a good job of this as seen in this image.

Seville Santa Justa Train Station - Seville(Sevilla) Spain. I had no tripod so the ISO is a little high on this photo, but with the D610 it still did a pretty good job capturing the detail.

I found a very nice dark window in the Moorgate area of London. Sadly the security noticed me straightaway and gave me the evil stare! I hung around just enough to get 3 shots and to annoy them further. Shortly after, they discreetly ushered me away. Cat and Mouse springs to mind. I don't usually post up 3 pictures at a time, but this make a nice mini series.
I think the angrier he gets, the shorter his tie becomes!
