Caught this Bumble coming in to land on the Honeysuckle. And, a safe touchdown. Steve.

I hate to admit it, but it's an old Sony Cyber Shot DSC-HX100V. A twelve year old Bridge camera. A pal gave it to me a few months ago, unloved, and unwanted. It does have a Zeiss lens, but the camera tech is very outdated now. I usually set it to Intelligent Auto, and let it do its thing...

A sharp drop in temperature last night. There was a lot of condensation, which made for some nice pics. Steve.

@mw0njm. Alert! Bumbles on the Honeysuckle this morning. Steve. Steve.

Good evening Kat. You may keep your rain. We have had a beautiful day up here, and the forecast is for it to continue. Righteous. The. Shining, Sun, On. Rearrange the above to suit. :D :D :D :D Steve.

Far less bovver with a hover. :D Steve.

Spotted this wee Sparrow on the feeder this evening, and noticed its deformed beak. It seemed to be in fine fettle, and managing to feed OK. Steve.

I went out this morning at the same time as yesterday, and not a Swallow to be seen. However, we had a fair bit of rain yesterday. Not a downpour, just nice steady rain. I was out in the garden yesterday evening, by which time the rain had stopped, there was not a breath of wind, and all was...

A sure sign of the end of Summer. Taken from my back gate around 07:00 this morning. Lined -up. ready for the trip South. I was surprised just how many were there. Steve.

Lots of Peacocks about. And this, climbing up the wall of the house this morning. Steve.

I noticed today how that that spell of cold wind has caught one of my Acers. But, we still have lots to be happy about. Steve.

Watering and feeding is working. As wind ravaged as the Buddleia are, the few remaining blooms are still attracting Bumbles and Flutterbys. Steve.

Yes. I remember both Mom and Dad, using that term for moths. Steve.

The Bumbles like the Honeysuckle. Steve.

@pjmburns Just for you Janice. Seaside Sunflowers. Heads above the wall, and still thriving. Not my garden. Steve,

I did say how far behind in the growing season we are, up here. Clem and Honetsuckle in full flow. Begonia are doing well. Lizzies are now looking good. I did loose a couple, and saved this one, but it's come to nought. Hydrangea is great. My BBQ whisky barrel off-cut is...

Such sad news to hear that a forum stalwart has left the fold. His help and knowledge will be missed by all. Steve.

Well, I have asked the lady who knows everything that is going on in the village, :laughing: , and she says that no one knows. We have a phantom knitter in our midst, it would seem. Steve.
