Here is one for the animal lovers. Took some taking as the bird was quite some distance away and moving. Damn thing would not pose for me.

I really don't know Baz, hoping someone else does.

 I'm wondering if it's some sort of yucca ....how tall is it ?

I can't remember how tall, although the shot is upwards. I think looking at where the photo was taken it's possibly quite tall.

We need @Extremely Fluffy  and @Yogi 

I've seen something like that before, but the details escape me for now!

@Baz @Enthusiastic Contrafibularities @Yogi19

A type of Dischidia, I think.

Dischidia Major

Ants like it. They sometimes live INSIDE the leaves.

Not one for me then ....I hate ants 

Gorgeous pics, EC.

I'm glad Fluffs knew what that plant was, as I didn't have a clue

On the edge of the City Centre...

There is a hard landscaped area of ground. On this ground is a series of recycling pods and a weather and environment box, all pretty dismal items to looks at.

BUT. Around three edges are borders which are planted in a wild flower style. They are currently in flower and I think they look absolutely beautiful. Below are a series of pictures as I wander round.

Gorgeous pics, EC. Loving the wildflower meadow borders.

Thanks Yogi. It's hard to believe they border recycling bins.

That's about as dark as it gets and willstart getting lighter again in about an hour or two.

Of course if it is cloudy it will be darker!

The babies are teenagers now 

Fankoooo everyone 

Bazzy and Sprouty, they are big now 

They look huge when they are standing all around you and at full stretch too 

I never have a scrap of trouble from them though. They just accept me, I guess 

Yogi, they squabble like teenagers too

Today it started to rain and I was looking out of my apartment window. To my left I saw a squirrel on a branch. It had it's tail curled up above it's head as if it was using it as an umbrella.

So I took a couple of quick snaps.

Here is a picture I took a while ago but not posted as yet. I was close to getting the Bokeh right, but think I need better equipment to achieve that.

Lovely pics EC 

I'm sure someone is going to ask what this is, I will say now, I don't rightly know.

Thanks Baz. Just posting some older ones 

This is a picture of my favourite coffee shop, so when I write I have been spending a few hours drinking coffee, people watching and surfing, this is where I do it.

This is a section of the town hall.

This could well be a weed, but a very nice looking one it is, if it is a weed.
