A SUMMER PHOTO THREAD

VickiA said:
Not the best photo but the best I could get in my rush to grab my phone when I spotted what was going onā€¦. A woodpecker was gathering sunflower hearts from my feeder this morning - and feeding them to a fledgling woodpecker who was satView attachment 204952 on the fence (sadly out of range of my shot)

Just saw this female common darter make her maiden flight after she hatched from our pond! You can tell freshly hatched dragonflies by the wings being supremely shiny like cellophane.

Wow thatā€™s a corker! I had flying around the pond the other day, by the time I got my iPad it had gone
 
I was in the UK 2 weeks ago, and just got around to downloading the pictures.
Mostly it rained, but on the one really sunny day I went exploring and came across this little gem!
Accessible only by a very narrow, winding road, but the end result was worth it.
And yes - I did treat myself to an ice cream for being so brave with the driving :D

I've not been to Blackpool for 35 years when my Brother married a his wife who was from Paulton-le-Fylde. We stayed in Blackpool and went to Blackpool Pleasure Beach with my late cousin and his wife and had a lovely time.
 
I've been to my grandmas this morning. We've been cherry picking. I stole some rhubarb and the raspberries were delicious. And she wouldn't let me leave without a bag of Strawberries. And I just couldn't resist taking some peas for my dinner + a few for now. She has the best garden and allotment! And all the flowers are in full bloom.

It is the "Call of the Sea" mermaid sculpture celebrating protection of the coast and marine life :)
Its a bit naff isnt it but I love a dodgy mermaid, I have one my late mum's friend sewed in blue and grey felt with huge hair and dodgy eyeliner that looks like Amy Winehouse deceased, a Greek painted one who looks like a body builder drag queen with saucepan breasts, and a Jamaican one in metal who has seal flippers and no breasts at all lol (wondering about the feasability of getting this gal into the back of a vauxhall corsa...)

If you think the mermaid is bad what about this one in St Austell, cost a fortune and is suppose to represent the china clay industry :yikes::D
