Mmmmm... nice...
Shouting down hatch: "One more imaginary coconut, pronto"...
That's lovely.

Should have gone with Apples!
Lovely picture, charming and natural and just life-affirming. Very well taken.
Magnificent. What a wonderful photograph.
Lovely shot - and few things are more enjoyable than throwing things for a dog to fetch, especially on a deserted beach on a cold, winter's, day. Great fun for all concerned.
Baden Powell first established his 'scouts' - a youth corps - at Mafeking. They ran messages for the beleaguered British.
The bugle used by Baden-Powell's bugler in the Mafeking siege is in my possession having been passed along in my family for many years.
Unfortunately I have no written evidence of provenance, and no other authenticating evidence exists aside from the use of native African copper in its manufacture. The 'bell' is trimmed with brass and the original steel mouthpiece is still firmly attached. The original dark green plaited cord and tassel adorning the bugle have long since turned to dust.
Just thought it might be interesting
No new material from this weekend, so here's an older one that I didn't edit first time round.

Tremendous colour and detail...beautiful Florian. The terrain adds a lot of depth to this shot.
I love the light, reflection and ripples in the water...well done MCH-1138.

Still on a wintry theme but New York this time...Comments always appreciated.

Just been catching up. So many beautiful photos this month with a wonderful series of snowy owl pictures from Cheese & Apple, hummingbirds from MCH and others too many to list.
This is a nice one AFB. Very serene. We've had it grey for far too long but you've made the most of it here. We missed out on your sleet shower though!
Classic case of being in the wrong place at the wrong time when the tornado struck! Very effective needfx.
Beautiful! Love the positioning and the colours. Lovely picture.
This one is gorgeous! You could have it done on canvas for your wall. I like the way you've left the background dark to emphasise the golden light on the pool.
This is a lovely photograph Doylem. Market towns have a lot of character and you've emphasised it with the golden lights at blue hour. Pity there's no kebab van, it would really have set it off!
A slow one with the ND filter. I new the weather wasn't going to help with a nice photo, so thought I'd slow things down to give a bit of interest.

A quiet corner of Christchurch...

That brings back memories of being out there working, sitting in the crisp air of a Sunday afternoon with a hot cup of coffee to keep me warm and enjoying the world going by. Lovely shot.

The strong contrast between red and blue on this one really works for me. Well done.

I know I am only allowed one a day but I dont post everyday...
This one I was going to post in the weekly challenge as an icon of Glasgow. It is rare to see one intact as usually they are damaged beyond reasonable recognition but in the rougher areas of this fine city, they can usually be seen strewn around playgrounds and other public gathering places. Those of you from around these parts will likely get this humour. Those not, well it is a nice picture of a bottle no?
