Local Wildlife

There is a feeder on the balcony, but the birds are very cautious. This is the best picture I've managed thus far. It would seem the Canon is not particularly well-suited to nature photography.

Still Going

The orchids continue to blossom. Thanks, Mom!

Tandoori Sign

Spotted this on Prospect today and it made me smile. Are you a be-leaver?

Yellow Roses

A bouquet of sunshine for £2.99 from my local M&S. Unbeatable! Forgive the corny rhymes.

Evening

I thought I would see how well the camera worked in low light. Not great is the short answer. I will continue to experiment.

Dogs in Rain Togs

Fantastic! I have never seen two dogs look so foolish yet seem so comfortable. She must have trained them from birth.

Birthday Blossoms

The orchids are continuing to bloom after over two weeks.

Night sky in Caversham

Now that the clocks have gone back, the days are getting so much shorter.

Condensation

I didn't quite manage to get the shot I was after, but this was the best I could manage.

Fallen leaves

After a windy week, most of the leaves have blown off the trees.



Someday I will tire of roses, but today is not that day.

Misty Morning

It was quite misty this morning when I woke up. The city was invisible and no one seemed to be out on the tow path. It's since burned off and promises to be a nice sunny day.

The First Day of November

I didn't have much time today to take pictures, but when I looked out my window, I noticed the birds were grazing very close to the back garden. If you look closely, one of the swans is being very lazy and sitting down to eat.


Here is one of the late roses. Not bad for November!

More Birthday

Matt and I went to London to see an exhibition at the V&A. When we came back, we had some cake, which Matt made. All in all, it was a memorable day.

Birthday Flowers

These beautiful orchids really brightened my day!

Sunny Fall Day

It's another glorious day here in Caversham. I walked to the post office earlier this morning and thought I'd take a picture.

Cyclamens

Yesterday, Matt and I stopped off at the gardening centre. The planter outside is no longer dull and bare but full of cyclamens. Here's hoping they survive the winter. Am very pleased to see the sun out for a change!

Pics for Fin

Hello, Finola! My name is Goober! I'm the bear who lives on your Aunt Siobhan's desk.
And I'm Yoga, the monkey, and I live in the bedroom! Eee-eee-eee. How are you?


We thought we'd say hello to you and your Grandma!How are things down there? Is the weather nice? Aunt Siobhan is looking forward to visiting you at Christmas. Should we tell her to bring you anything special?

Bye for now, Finola! It's been real nice talking to you.
Bye Finola! Hope to see you soon! Eee-eee-ee!!!

Another day, another cup of coffee

It's Friday and I'm sitting in front of my laptop once again.

Along the Thames

A few pics taken today along the river.

Lady and Dog Walking Amongst a Million Leaves

The view from my kitchen window this morning. No sun for two days in a row. Bleak.
