Being about 500 meters from the sea, we are inundated with these birds

Keeping watch and it was quiet.

but coming away from the seagull I saw this on my neighbours roof.

Grey Wagtail.

The sun came out.

ants

Great pictures as usual.

Celebrity Eclipse with tender at side

coming in our selves to tender

We've had some fairly cold weather over the last couple of weeks but today (Sunday) it was sunny and pleasant. I managed to capture this blue tit, it looks rather dishevelled after the cold snap.

Notice in the USA there seems to be a lot of promos and TA helping out etc, on this side of the pond we don't seem to get that, until now.

I have booked a 16 day TA from Barcelona to Florida via stops in Madeira, St John's, St Kitts, St Maarten, St Thomas and last Port Canaveral, with four nights in Orlando, inclusive of flights to Spain and return from Orlando , plus transfer from Port to International Drive , BA mid-ship cabin deck 10/11 on the spirit for £1299 pp (approx. $1948)

On the NCL website no Balcony but oceanview for just the 16 day cruise (no stop over) it is £1307 ($1960)pp

Now, on the TA website the same deal that I got, has gone up £200 ($300) pp in just 3 months

It's strange that you can get a Balcony with the TA but not on the NCL website.

To me this seems a good deal

Nice to be in the high 70's

Weather here is quite barmy, down to -3.5c one day last week and today 9.c

Nice photos through out.

I've heard of headless chickens, but this is taking the biscuit.....

Long shot of an Acacia tree in the zebra enclosure at the LA Zoo. It appears that these trees are very fond of their leaves.

 

Pointy Tree

Probably toothpicks for the Zebra then :eek:

suppose looking for berries here is futile....:D

Here are some berries for your birds

Don't know if it means we're in for a hard winter this year, at present it's very mild.

Hopefully He'll be back.

These are about 3 foot higher than my 6 foot fence, they are in my neighbours garden.

Kenevenpar, Fantastic shot of the head. (haven't figured how to link your picture.)

Here are some oldies from the UK

Good old Route Master bus

Every last week-end in July we have a Festival in Worthing UK, to raise money locally and on the Sunday there is an American and other's car show, this year there were more, here are a few.

Someone last weeks said they hadn't seen many butterflies, so here are a couple more and something else..:eek:

Scouting party

Raiding party

Gotcha all mine....

Well, Not all theirs, managed to net some.

Very nice...love the look of that sun in the distance breaking through overcast skies. Did you happen to get one with the sun set part of the way or just after it disappeared?

Thanks, love you screen saver shot.

Here's the last one before it completely went.

There's some fantastic photo on here.

Setting sun , aft on the Celebrity Eclipse Sept 2013

Great shot of the bear (leave my fish alone look:D)

Here's some dolphins making sure we leave Gib. There were about half a dozen. This was taken with 300mm lens and photo cropped.

Coming in to dock at Civitavecchia on the Eclipse, already there were MSC Orchestra and Azamara Quest. Sept 2013

Icy Strait Point, Sept 2012

 

Nice capture (I know it can vary, but what was the weather like when you went, can't decide whether panama canal or Alaska :confused:)

Where is Chankanaab, and was this creature wild or captive? And that water in the background -- beautiful!

Chankanaab National Park, Cozumel, Mexico (Caribbean side)

The park is considered a conservation area for fauna and flora after being decreed a national park in the year 1980, also swim with dolphins, snorkeling etc.

Here are a couple more, one showing size next to someone (the other half).:eek:

They can come and go as they please, the area where the orange one is, is a man made small lagoon with fish in it. (just to the left of the wife)

A shot over the stern of Queen Mary 2 from last week...

 

QM2 Sunset by JDE_Photography, on Flickr

Is there a bit of HDR in this, or just long exposure, it looks great

Dickie

Almost forgot, met this strange little creature when we went to Chankanaab :eek:

Taken from a tender on they way back to the ship.
