No Santa hats here, far too hot.

I don't think I ever saw that one!

Spring has been slightly tricky, dry and cold for longer than we like but it's warmed up a lot now and there's been regular rain, so things are pretty relaxed. Helps if you stock slightly lower numbers too. Feels like summer is just about to begin. :D

8) I'll think of you as we commence our summer, hot and fine and anticipating days around the pond in the shade with friends and family.

That was such a gorgeous picture and beautifully executed! Well done Nesi!

The max size of the auto-cropping thing seems to be 640px only on the width. So in the last comp there were 600x800 pictures, i.e. the auto-cropping max didn't do anything to the height. It matters because the resizing programs always stuff up the pixels! Better to do it before submission...

Noisy, dusty, sharp, demanding ...

Well, in that case ... :)

Oh come on, she was having a shower! She's an Australian Rose Breasted Cockatoo or Galah. There are lots here as pets. I inherited her. Showers are hard to see in pictures. Great photos everyone, this was fun. :)

I thought you'd all have hurricanes, tornadoes and other impressive pictures so didn't put my little gale picture in. Wrong call!

I don't have a picture of it and neither does my nephew, except in his memory, which he recounted to me one day when he was about 10, a moment from a few years before, which I was surprised he remembered at all. I'd called to him, hey Louie, catch! Naturally he did: a shrivelled scrotum, where...
