It is a peregrine. Great shot.

Caterpillars on Ragwort. The ragwort which is poisonous to horses is regularly "controlled" to prevent ingestion. The caterpillars of this moth only feed on Ragwort so you see the problem. I beleive that in New Zealand they use the caterpillars to control Ragwort. Any way I have had a go at this image added a touch more contrast and a little sharpening. Have I done enough or could it be improved further?

Anybody who has seen Dr who must have at some point wondered where the producers draw inspiration for aliens etc.

I have tweaked the contrast and the sharpness and the image does look better for it.
The tree I saw was the grey section to the left with the trunk running up the middle and branches radiating out from it, bit abstract i suppose but there you go. Any way many thanks for all your comments.

This is a section of a table top. A piece of tree with a tree pattern.

Sadly yes until next year maybe. Taken at Coleton Fishacre garden in Devon.

Have you checked the file size of these images as they are very slow to load?
2Mb and 2.9Mb for the original cropped files uploaded to photobucket. They were resized on photobucket prior to uploading to this site so I'm presuming they would be smaller than above. I will check however.

Rps membership is around £100 per year. Not that I am member but I do look at the pictures taken by their members, some incidentally use Pentax equipment
