The weather has been really grim but I did manage a few hours outside in the garden recently. Roll on some sunshine and warmth!

Great photographs to see on such a drab, dreary day.

Wanted to get out and enjoy the sunshine with my camera today. It’s still very wet out there so it’s difficult to find somewhere to go where my walker won’t get bogged down in the mud! So decided on going over to a local Garden Centre and seeing what the Feather and Fur place was like there… and I was really impressed! Lots of different birds of prey all in lovely surroundings with very friendly staff and best of all only £3 to get in! 
It’s not always easy to photograph captive birds as the netting used for the aviaries tends to get in the way. A nice wide aperture and focussing on the bird’s eye helps. The Barn Owl was out for a walk which made life a bit easier!

Okey Dokey. I see fashion of the ages, looking to be ceremonial for war, wedding, burial, and possibly rites of ‘royalty’. but where does this fit in?
Nevermind, I see it now that the picture is enlarged. I thought it was a cartoon character wearing short and a tee shirt with another mop headed character sticking his tongue out at us all. It seemed funny. I suppose those are lions, and an armoured cover for a knight of maybe the holy roman impire???

I saw this Kestrel hovering by the side of the perimeter track around an airfield. Luckily it stayed in place longer enough for me to lean on my car and get some pictures of it!

Had a great day out on Monday playing music at a fundraiser for Strelley village church. The graveyard is a really nice place on a sunny day provided of course that you’re above ground. This pic is one of my friends finally playing with the Stones

I love seeing you back at this! As well as enjoying your sense of humor! So glad you are above ground and got to see the stones. Was there any rolling? (of stones, or of those in the graves?)

I particularly like the wonderful range of symbolism on the Ruskin stone. That Jackalope is pretty cool too.

Not had time for much photography lately but here’s a pic of the Welsh poppies growing in our garden. Loads of lovely little blue forget-me-nots too at the moment. Also Peony and a lovely Rhubarb and Custard plant.

Great photos of beautiful flowers. I’ve never heard of a rhubarb & custard plant. Sounds like something i’d eat for dessert

@Mrs5K I can never remember the official names of flowers, apparently Rhubarb and Custard is a Nemesia.

@Strings and @Mrs5K, you both need to the Seek app on your phone, it’ll identify almost anything in nature, be it plants, bugs or wildlife. It’s great when you’re out for a walk, see a plant you that takes your fancy but don’t the name of it
It’s certainly useful for identifying what plants would work in your garden by checking out neighbours more established plants with it 
Here’s a short youtube clip of how it works.
