We haven't had one for a while, and I want to post my picture of a bumble bee which isn't quite good enough to go into my camera club's nature competition tomorrow, but I still like nonetheless.

I took the picture yesterday afternoon in a small village called Godmersham, between Ashford and Cantebury. The bee was happily bumbling about across the various flowers on the verge between a field of sheep and a quiet road leading to a posh looking private school (The Association of British Dispensing Opticians (http://www.dispensingoptics.co.uk/), Google is telling me), some houses and a church. Around about here (http://maps.google.co.uk/maps?q=%4051.21859115137086,0.9561967849731445&ie=UTF8&z=10&ll=51.292841,0.819855&spn=0.505814,1.955566&om=1).

For those of you wanting to know these things, that's a crop of about 50% from the original taken at 300mm, f/5.6, 1/500 sec, ISO 200.

Bah, nobody else want to post photos?

Then you can have a picture of a goose.

And there's plenty more where that came from (http://blog.bpsite.net/photos/edinburgh/content/index_2.html)! :P

all my photos are extremely random, half of them involve alcohol

i'll have some after my trip hopefully, off to New York later today...never been

I've got quite a few... Louise thinks I ought to post them, so I probably will in a while.  In the meantime, here's a weird one for you to puzzle over.  No idea what the occasion was... it was on the 18th or 19th, over Ipswich.  Incredibly noisy they were too.

I don't have a camera  :( but your pictures are beautifully clear SS

That's because it's a proper dSLR rather than a cheapy compact digicam.

(Having a 70-300mm telephoto lens also helps, even though it is a relative cheap one.)

ill bring you all a load of surf pics back when i go to france, sure i can get every cliche possible in there

Back yet?

I just noticed something...

:unsure:

Is your memory that bad?

Although there's only an hour in it, probably a timezone setting difference.

I have a very odd sleeping cycle, so days don't often have clear boundaries.  And considering that my life's being upended all over again (three different ways, too) I don't really think it's that important.  :miffed:

Hmmm, I probably haven't enabled BST. (And I can't be arsed to either.)


The Paris airshow began on the 18th, so that probably explains what they were for, but doesn't help with if it was the 17th or 18th when you saw them - could just as easily be travelling there a day early as on the actual day.

 

yes, I am back...yet i was uninspired on our trip unfortunately. I can give you some stupid shots shortly

I really like this one, its of a church in Munich. I'm standing in a big open field where Oktoberfest is held every year.

Last but not least, Lake Atitlan, Guatemala. Not sure if i've already shared this with you guys..

sorry they're small, heh, off of flickr..

It's an interesting picture, but... :unsure: WTF is it?

well its a tunnel going under train tracks...don't you have those in the U.K.?  :P  

We tend to have bridges that go over them.

So what makes it one of the best places on Earth?

well its great, i don't know why :P

dono, tiny little town where my mother grew up, we go there every year to visit and its just a good time.

Fair enough. :)
