Medwaygreen, I'd already seen your flower pictures in the Photo Competition and thought they were just amazing!

 

John, the sunset is lovely, but I prefer the first one. I love the light on the graveyard scene.

Hello friends. I saw the first hummingbird of the season today at my feeder here in Michigan, USA. Then this pair of Rose-breasted Grosbeaks showed up for a bite of suet. She looked a bit worn-out I believe from a long migration from the tropics and spent a long while dining.

 

I hope they hang around. They have a great song much like an American Robin's but much better - you may hear their song here. Great to see them once again.

Nice work Severus,good photo. We have just returned from our holiday caravan for a couple of days so am now playing catch up as my Internet connectivity in Drummore is limited. We had a a few days down in Flookburgh (South Cumbria) Here are a few shots from the surrounding area.First off I think you may recognise this couple I spied at Ulverston.Without cheating and doing a Google search does anyone know the dogs name?? Its certainly not a common one !!!!!

 

 

Next up here are a couple of shots from Levens Hall.The topiary gardens were started in 1695.When we arrived it started bucketing down which made photography rather difficult

 

 

 

 

Then it was onto Brantwood House on the banks of Conniston Water.It was the house that eminent Victorian John Ruskin.Here are some photos I took around the estate.

Great shots, Snatcher, especially the ones of the gardens. Very interesting. I haven't the foggiest idea what the dog's name is.
