Beautifully captured image Keith...[;o)

Some things, like the Sea Buckthorn for instance, show such beauty to the naked eye that is so difficult to convey in a photograph!

The nettle image on the other hand is a cracker, those little white flowers shining in the sunlight like delicate cotton wool buds. An excellent, well captured, image Adrian.

Alfie, the chocolate coated dog! He looks a little guilty, or maybe he's worried because he knows what's coming next!...[;o)

Arija said...

How pretty, I have not even heard of this bird. What is his size, roughly that of a blackbird??

Gemel said...

Had a very relaxing Sunday, trust yours is as tranquil ♥

Thanks Trevor. I was pleased with this one myself.
oooer, I think that other comment should have been in Adrians; dunno how it got here.

Thanks Adrian. It feels cold enough for snow here today.

Thank you Debbie, they are lovely birds.

Thanks Indrani :-)

Pescalune, thank you :-)

Cheers Bob.

Thank you Arija. They are slightly smaller than a Blackbird, and in the same family.

Thank you Gemel. I bet your Sunday is warmer than mine.

Thanks Roy.

Excellent photo Keith. Very nice to see one of our home-grown Wheatear's after the recent influx of their rarer cousins.

oooo, what a wuvully Wheatear. I've never seen one, though they do show up here once in a blue moon. Nice capture, very sharp and great 'habitat' context. Nice going!
