Love the photos on this thread, thank you all.  @Avalon_Fields, how did you get the gorgeous image of the orange tip?

Thank you kindly. Bit of luck really, it was on the inside glass of the greenhouse, like the other photos took on my iphone 11. I had to paint out the dirty marks on the glass though....my greenhouse isn't that clean!

btw I made sure the butterfly escaped....

Last year was alot better for deer hunting.. This is on one of our strolls..here we found one of our OLD camps in the forest....we called it duck pond and used to take trips on trips around the pond at 2..3 in the morning lol.. We stashed our drink on an island lol this pic is with what was our bar 15 years ago.. It still had the coins that we decorated it with .. I think I've got some more duck pond pics I'll try dig out...

Not particularly funny, but a nod in the right direction. However, it should be noted that I am currently excruciatingly bored. So bored, in fact, that I reckon in this condition that the provision of a few buttons and a piece of string could entertain me for several hours.

Normally when I’m out my country walk I do a bit of bird watching, the distant call of the cuckoo, the songthrush that could record an album of its incredible variety of calls, the drilling of the Keith Moon of the bird world, the woodpecker, but in recent weeks I’ve stared up at the sky in wonderment at a rare sight.  An aeroplane!  Anyone else now find themselves watching a plane fly?

I’ve got the FlightRadar24 app. Lots of planes fly over the house on their way to Gatwick, it’s odd not hearing them fly over. All we get now is the odd Navy Lynx or Army Chinook. Usually this time of year we get a lot of Spitfires & acrobatics flying out of Goodwood practicing out of the coast.

Was lucky enough to see this a few weeks ago.

Another brilliant app is the ISS tracker with realtime views.

Incredible what you learn about e festers on this place,  one post and suddenly there’s ballet prima donnas, satellite trackers. Bird watchers and plane spotters!

I wouldn't subject people to my shirt removal as well as ballet skills .... that might cause a peak in use of FMS  .....

I haven't noticed a plane flying recently, but then again I've not really been looking out for them. However, in the good old days before the virus whenever I saw a plane flying at great height across the sky, I used to get an almost existential moment. It's a little too hard to explain in words really, but it's like the sight of the planes connects me with time immemorial, time right then, and time in the future. Ang guess what? These are more often than not, drug free moments.

I don't know why, but that bit of information was really interesting. I had no idea such an app existed. That said, if I now turn in to a plane spotter, I'll never forgive you!

Right, I may as well confess it now. One of my mates sister's (one of whom I actually ended up marrying) used to work in a theatre in Birmingham where there were regular ballet performances. Anyway, word got out at our secondary school (for this took place way back then) that my mate had got a shed load of free tickets for a matinee performance of a ballet, which his sister had got for him. Not only that, but somehow word had got out that this was no ordinary ballet, but that the women were to dance topless during the performance. The net result was that a huge gaggle of 14 year old boys turned up to watch the opera in a virtually empty theatre. The performers were probably wondering why such a huge mob of adolescent boys had turned up to watch them. We were just wondering at what point they were going to get their baps out. As the performance went on, it dawned on us one by one that we'd been had in the bag, and there wasn't going to be the much sought after sighting of a pair of tits in the flesh.
