Fungi... flowers, birds and other stuff (part two)


 The second part.















Fungi... flowers, birds and other stuff (part one)


 Ok, I've stuffed my face full of bacon and egg roll, repaired my coving, and got around to editing the pics.
 Mostly fungi but a selection of other stuff found on the walk.
 These are all shot on either my standard zoom or the macro lens, mostly the zoom.
















Fungi photos coming soon


 Yesterday I took a LOAD of fungi photos. Honestly I've never seen so many mushrooms in one area. They was some even growing in water (something new for me)  I'll post some later after I've done some editing and more importantly scoffed a bacon and egg sarnie. (weell I walked bloody miles getting the shots)

Oh ye gods I'm not a celebrity has started again!


 Oh joy, I'm not a celebrity has started again.
 "Staring"  and I use the word loosely....

 Caitlyn Jenner (ex Olympian)
 Ian Wright (ex footballer)
 Adele Roberts (ex big brother "star")
 Nadine Coyle (ex girls aloud "singer")
 Myles Stephenson (boy band and x factor contestant)
 Andrew Maxwell (comedian and narrator)
 Jacqueline Jossa (ex eastenders)
 Roman Kemp (capital fm dj)
 James haskell (rugby player)
 Kate Garraway (breakfast tv host)

 Well as you can see most of the "celebrities are ex's or has beens or "who the fuck are they's".  Not exactly what most normal people would call CELEBRITY. 
 Being perfectly honest there only of of this bunch of non-started I've actually ever heard of, and those I wouldn't consider celebs or bother watching.
 Trading standards should rename the show   " I'm not a celebrity but I'm desperate enough to do anything for money"

Weather forecast?


 Seriously what is wrong with the weather forecast?   At one time the forecast would be reasonably close. Now they are almost always miles out.
 Today I have to take my disabled mother shopping, last night we checked several different forecasts, all agreed that today would be cloudy but dry.  I wake up to pouring rain. WTF.
 Whats the point of even having a forecast if it's wrong more than it's right?
 Years ago they tended to be reasonably good.  Now they have computers, AI and live satellite video of the bloody clouds and they are pretty much hopeless.
 Churchill got an accurate forecast for D-day, how the hell cant we get a good forecast 70 odd years later.
 In all seriousness I could take a wild guess and be right about 50% of the time, bloody AI computers should be better.  So much for them being better than humans at flying.  I ain't getting in a Boeing if it's as reliable as the weather forecast.

Autumn colours


The leaves are turning yellow, but I'm not getting much spare time to get out. Grabbed these today.




The nesting cone update.


 Back in April I posted a pic of the nesting cone (shot on the go-pro)  Well news update the nesting cone has found a mate.  See pics.  Hopefully by spring there will be baby cones hatching...  These are shot on a DSLR by the way, not a go-pro.
