The Camera in my pocket..!!

Hope they didn't catch you Woo!

 

Being in Manchester Woo, we get a lot of low flying police helicopters.

We are less than a mile away from the police helipad (if thats what you call it)

In the past the helicopter has been so low at night you can see its headlight beam

shining through your bedroom window..

Having said that it seems to happen alot less these days.

Wether the crime rate is improving or the cuts are so that

they can't afford for the heli to do as much flying as it once did who knows?

As if they would let us Joe public in on the truth.:dodgy:

 

Thank you Woo I like my curtains to be of light fabric so the sun will wake me in the morning (sun........whats that you may ask)

Im quite fortunate where I live.(Would swap it for somewhere in Devon or cornwall)

that I am close to the city and also the countryside. I count my blessings rather

than complain these days

 

This one was a nice surprise




Nidularium billbergioides in the Glasshouse Rainforest section at RBGE

*Edit* - Changed the incorrect plant name from Vriesia sp. to Nidularium billbergioides

 

Thats so pretty!!

 

Thank you:P

They don't normally come out like that I'm just starting to get the hang of my new point and shoot

 

Interesting, I've never seen a Vriesia with spines, they are usually smooth sided.
Any more pics, I never got to Edinburgh Botanic.

 

I'll pop in over my lunch break on Friday:WINK1: it's terrible when I'm in there on Tuesday's for work experience I get distracted by all the lovely plants and then I remember I still have a ton of leaves to rake up

I forgot to get the memory card out of my laptop:DOH: so I couldn't take any photo's however I did have a look around the plant and it appears that there was another label which read Nidularium billbergioides so It appears you were right to be somewhat suspicious:WINK1:

 

"I forgot to get the memory card out of my laptop"
