With all the wet weather about at the moment it hasn't stopped us getting out and about, though we have had to dodge the showers at times!.
Had some exciting news since my last post, two of my pictures have been picked for publication!, the first one was my picture of an adult Great Crested Grebe and one of their babies,
This one was picked as the banner picture for the Reddish Vale Website this month and here is the picture on the website.
The next surprise was my picture of the Jay adult feeding its baby, this one was picked for the Daisy Nook Cafe calendar for next year (July) I believe it will be.
It's on the wall in the Cafe on display with the other winners and then will be included in next years calendar which when printed will be on sale and the proceeds go to the Children's Burns Foundation.
Some others pictures I've taken since my last post.
Another baby helping himself.
Baby Wren at Reddish Vale.
My Goldfinches are still coming regularly to my feeder.
One of the young Grebes having a shake after diving for its dinner.
Been to Pear Mill in Stockport again for lunch and on all the tables there are the old games we used to play before computers, here Peter G and Jean playing Snakes and Ladders whilst the dogs are quite happy under the table eating their free boiled ham treats.
Nice food/ drinks and the staff are all great and very friendly.
Note the old style crockery.
Managed to get the Eclipse of the moon the other night as well.
Got another jigsaw started this week, a lot of dark colours in this one will be a bit of a challenge this one!.
Got myself a Amazon Show 5 this week as well, and the alarm does wake me up and one of its functions is that it can help you to go to sleep too.
Once I took my hearing aids out the last alarm was useless!.
Another good thing is you can tell her to shut up and she does!.
Saw this bark on a tree this week at the marina behind the Kingfisher Pub
and it looked like tissue paper and was quite unusual, no idea what type of tree it was!.
Was reading of a large fire in Ashton yesterday and though the night, three mills on fire with 70 firemen and 15 engines, every respect for these guys, when everyone is running away these guys are walking into it!.
Been there, done that, got the tee shirt.
