Early Spring Colours

After a long walk yesterday we had a potter round the garden while waiting for tea to cook. Spring looks to be really on the move now with loads of colourful bulbs starting to flower like the Daffodils and Tulips.

It's looking like we should have some decent weather this weekend so hoping for a couple of chilled days in the Spring sunshine wandering around with my camera :-)

After The Rain

It was a dark damp and miserable yesterday but the sun did come out just long enough to pop out and take some pictures before poured down again!

In The Garden

Enjoyed some early Autumn sunshine in the garden over the weekend, still loads of colour, it'll be a few weeks yet before we can start clearing the flower beds before the onset of Winter.

Bobbins Day!

On Friday morning I woke up with a sore throat and ear ache, on Saturday I was still the same so on the way to take some piccies we called at the chemist. I explained to the lady my ailments who then explained them to the pharmacist who then asked what age the patient was, I replied 38 at which point he popped up from behind the screen shocked and said "opps, sorry, I thought you were a child". It seems my voice hasn't aged the same as the rest of me!

We arrived at a dark and damp RSBP Old Moor, taking piccies weren't as easy as normal, all the birdies were just too far away and the feeding station was really dark. I did manage to get a couple of shots though :-)

Soggy Flowers

Soggy flowers in the garden tonight after a yet another very rainy day.

It's about time Summer made an appearance, it's August on Saturday!

Tropical World

We visited Tropical World in Leeds on Sunday, we've been a couple of times before but they didn't seem to have as many butterflies this time. In fact they didn't seem to have as much of anything, not many birds and no sign of any Meerkats.

On top of the dwindling exhibits, the heat in there was unbearable, it was hot and humid before but on Sunday we could almost swim round! Still, we did manage a few pictures before running off in search of an ice cream van!

Next time we're thinking along the lines of exotic butterflies, we'll stick with Tropical Butterfly House in Sheffield.
