Amazing photo, nice one,
Never seen a nut weevil before, thanks.

My first entry in any photo competition.
This was taken today (Tuesday) at Bridgnorth, Shropshire.
The Severn Valley Railway.

The age of steam still lives.

I love the photos Clarky.
The colours are great and I only wish I can eventually be this good with practice.
I'm sure you have many other meaner spiders in Australia.

Thank you for sharing.

Great photo.
There are plenty of frogs about this year, well it is a leap year

They might but they did steal loads of stuff from us when we were the County of Hereford & Worcester. Now that was one divorce that was justified.

So will residents of Kent dispute they are the main county of hops, they're not, Herefordshire now is.
So will residents of Somerset dispute they are the home of cider, they're not, again Herefordshire is and probabley always will be.

Did I say I live in Herefordshire?
I consider Herefordshire as being a little bit of paradise in Britain.
Come and visit the Wye valley, Hereford the birth place of Nell Gwynne and Frank Oz. Other famous Herefordians include actor David Garrick (1717-1779), actress Beryl Reid (1920-1996), Mott the Hoople, The Pretenders (except Chissy Hyne) and many more including myself. The home of the world famous Hereford cattle but be careful..... it's also the home of the S.A.S.

If you want to sample the real thing, then come to Herefordshire.

Yes Keith, I thought it would be an interesting shot.Thanks AJ, not too far for me to go.

I too prefer the colour photos AJ.
Can I ask where were these photos actually taken?

I only live approx 20 miles from Hay on Wye (spelled Wye), it's only a very small town famous for it's second hand book shops. One side of the bridge (over the river) is England and the other is Wales (very nearly).
The Brecon National Park is a great place to visit, waterfalls, caves, mountains, etc... with a stop off at Hay-on-Wye and Hereford of course
I can recommend the area but bring an OS map as many hidden photographical gems are not on a road map and many are only accessible by foot.
See my examples below (link) and so much more.

No nasties in Britain unless you accidently take a short cut through a safari park like Longleat.
Just be aware of speed limits on our roads as Britain is littered with speed cameras. There are many sharp bends on the moor's roads so be careful and have a safe holiday.

ps, Don't forget the camera and plenty of SD cards and batteries because we'll want to see those photos.

PremierInn (formerly Travel Inn) and Travel Lodge are not so expensive and convenient places to stay especially for one/two night (room only).
