August Photo competition

Aaw poor bun! that's very sad, we can look at his pic & think of all the other lovely buns scampering about out there too. I recently went to Paignton zoo whilst on hol where the rabbits outnumbered the more exotic inhabitants by quite a margin it seemed! (Though not in the carnivores' enclosures!)

 

One of my fave plants in the garden at the mo'(Cercis canadensis "Forest Pansy") - planted so that I can watch the evening sun behind it whilst enjoying a glass of something chilled.
View through water in Tropical house at Paignton Zoo - my attempt at being arty f**ty!!!
Whoops, crikey its a bit big - sorry!

Blackfly on a nasturtium leaf (just before the big nasty thumb came along to squish em )

 

It's quite likely the cat caused some internal damage. They usually do when they jump on their prey.

Some seriously fantastic pics already - this one's going to be TOUGH, Nathan!!

 

Great pictures - if this is the standard for August, wow

 

Alright I know its a butterfly, but I think its a Peacock

 

its not fair putting superglue on the flowers Pete

 

I must have taken 30 pictures to get that one.
Why didn't I think of superglue :D

 

That is a brilliant pic Pete - been trying to get one just like it but all our butterflies at the moment are the white variety! :rolleyes:

Lovely picture Pete - but I got some winged visitors too

 

I've heard of a snake in the grass, but ants?

 

Good pic Fran but yuk -makes me feel itchy :eek:

 

Had an ants nest under my ipswich pinks for a few years - they only really appear at this time of year, when they fly. Soon over.
