Inspired by anotherscotsman's great moon photo...Here is the waxing gibbous moon from the U.S. side of the pond.

Found this little beauty in the middle of a woodland area today. She's tiny at just a smidge under four metres tall and about three metres wide! No other stone remnants immediately nearby, but there are the remains of a two storey building about fifty metres away. I'd say this is dating back to the 1880's or 1890's.

iPhone 11 Pro, no edits.

I say the patina adds character to older cars like these.

From your garden? Our roses are pretty much in full bloom.

That’s the sort of shot that would get Mrs AFB running a mile.

As we have several roses in the garden of the bungalow we bought it’s fun seeing what colour we get when they do bloom.

Bungalows are great - ours stops my wife falling down the last few stairs as she used to do, wearing silly slippers

And before you say it, we moved in 9 years ago before I got old

That was our thinking to. Move before we needed to move.

Actually the main reason was to get away from the nasty neighbours trying to pick fights with us.
A nice bungalow with a (distant) view of a river was just a bonus.

Well the nasty neighbours that moved in and the memories we’d sooner forget were also considerations. Now we live in the countryside instead of suburbia.

After my husband died I remained in our townhouse for several years but eventually started thinking about other options. For me, the choice was a condominium apartment unit on the entry level of the building so from the adjacent parking lot I have only a couple of steps to go up before being on my landing and at my door..... Previously I was in a townhouse with two levels and even though at that time I was still only in my forties I was looking and thinking ahead to the day when I’d be older and really appreciate living all on one level, with easy access to my home. The primary drawing-card, though, to me with regard to this community was the fact that it is on a small “lake” (actually a storm-retention pond), so it is quite scenic and we have beautiful views every season of the year and waterfowl to watch and occasionally photograph......

Had to give 'that talk' to the Boof about the portal in the cupboard on Sunday...

Actually, this was just me playing with a little portable LED panel [Falconeyes F7 150x80mm/6x3"] whilst out on an urban exploration of an old 1880's two story beauty in the hills that has been untouched for about twelve years or so; there's a tragic tale behind it ending up this way that's a wee bit too long to share here.

iPhone 11 Pro Max, inbuilt camera app, considerably underexposed, no edits.

Red gel placed over the light source? Very cool image!
