Beautiful photographs

I have started this mainly for Les as he is the photographer amongst us, and this will be a place were we can all visit to see what he has snapped, rather than have then scattered about the group. My postings will mainly be what I have found on the web, I will mark the ones that were taken by either my son or daughter :) If you want to just post a photo, as many as you like, with no explanation that's fine, but if you want to let us know a little more about the image that would be great.

I don't think I've posted this one before but if I have please forgive the repetition. It was taken from a window of my home, back in June this year.

No... you have not posted it Les, I would have remembered such an amazing photo, I can see why that is the photo that you have on your computer, it's beautiful.

I don't think I have anything like that on mine, I just have a plain blue screen, and a little cat that I have to click on to get to my part of the computer. I will ask Ross about putting a nice picture on mine somewhere.

Sophie got some wonderful footage of the deer yesterday, it's her story so I will let her tell it, but it's lovely.

I look forward to that. I hope she can upload the video.

It's on my desktop, so Ross had just informed me, it's up to me now to do the rest. I will have a go...... watch this space!

Sophie has just told me that she saw 6 deer today galloping passed.... we are so lucky to have them here.

It's great Vicky! Not easy to catch a rainbow.
¡Es hermoso, Vicky! No es fácil agarrar un arco iris.

(whoops sort of big....with all these photos in my computer, I just haven't done all the reducing I should...) when they start to wither, just toss them, ok?

They are beautiful, how they have managed to get pink an blue in the same bed is a minor miracle, Les is the flower expert and will enlighten us, but hydrangeas need a certain ph level in the soil to be either blue or pink, or so I believe.

Frozen feet are not nice, where are your slippers?

The pic is fine by me, I don't know how to shrink!

Oh Sue! I'm really not the flower expert, honestly! The best I can suggest here is to look at the following:
Changing the colours of hydrangeas
What I do know is that the one in my front garden is meant to be blue but solidly refuses to change colour. We put in a blue one and it turned pink so fast I thought the elves had crept out in the night and painted it.
Steph, I think your picture must have self-adjusted to the space available since the proportions appear to be ok. I think the original was in 'portrait' format wasn't it?
