I was in York this morning and saw a car with about 2" snow on it. Only the one. which I thought a bit strange.

Welcome back indeed, if you don't mind I will contribute a pic from my garden

One minute it was light the next dark. Makes for a different photo though.

This year, with having had that sharp frost a few weeks back, the colour of the leaves is really beautiful.

Lovely photos Roux... I love the way Autumn can give lovely crisp bright days, but with the sun being so low in the sky, long shadows and a sort of melancholy.I'd love a walk in those woods.Kath

Some really good shots there O2 - I particularly enjoyed the black silhouetted tree trunks and the still reflections.The Holly and Berries would be a good pic to use if you fancy making your own Christmas cards - a nice celebration of nature!

Yeah Ok mate.:thmb:Sort of thinking along the lines of a snow fence, but for sand.

Hi Rouxbee Thank you,Yes I was only a shadow of my former self that day Hi:lollol: Capney Thank you,Yes it was the Sunderland Flying boat ,Its not Murky now just Brown in colour:lollol::thumb:

Bob welcome aboard,if you go on the seed swap thread LMRR has some brug seeds if she has run out let me know,you can overwinter them by putting them into hibernation just keep them frost free,I left some in the ground outside last year with cover 75% made it,most the info is on the brug thread...

Oh my eyes Kathy but great stuff looking forward to seeing you on Thursday 1.00pm

Thanks David for the info and the offer of help. I will certainly have a go again at some point in the future .

I see it.

I usually use the second hide, the free one near the entrance is a bit far from the main concentrations of birds and I usually "bypass" the one that is further out on the end of a sort of causeway. I've not yet seen any spoonbills when I've been there. I believe there is another hide in or near...

Great pictures 02, love the way autumn colours and early mist gave the pictures a feeling of calmness and serenity. :thumb:

I'm the same as John only been when driving through to Beaulieu. Maybe we should organise a GC meet there and all meet up and enjoy it together

Hmm, the creeping buttercup and ragwort I'd have to disagree about - having had to undertake the backbreaking work of removing by hand from a farmer's field. On the whole there's some nice imagery there, my friend.

Pete, thanks for your prompt reply. It does look like Leycesteria Formosa

lmrr, lovely. I used to visit a bird place near you when I lived in Southampton, can't remember what it was called now. Did you get to see the flying displays? They're great aren't they? My favourite is the Eagle Owl, love their huge eyes. Thanks for sharing. cheers

We saw some very similar in Italy growing along the roadside I fell for it then. Such a touchy feely plant and has great movement when there is a bit of a breeze. Just got my new seed catalogues so will have to give them a gander and see if they sell it. Cheers Roders.:okies: 02

Many many thanks for sharing you day out Whiley, I enjoyed your wonderful pics Great to see a clear friendship between humans and animals. robert
