Swans

Swans

I don't know that I could say that these are my favourite birds, but they are certainly the most photogenic. Whenever I'm out walking and I see them swimming on the lake or just standing on the bank, I just have to photograph them!

This is my favourite swan picture! "Majestic" is the word!

These two are obviously a pair. They mate for life, which is very beautiful.

And here is their offspring.His dowdy feathers will soon be replaced by dazzling white ones.

Life in the Garden

Life in the Garden

There are a lot more spiders emerging now, and they are growing at a ferocious rate. I hate walking into their fine strands which criss cross the garden between the shrubs.The spider by the bird bath is really big now!

There, are nicer garden occupants though, and Tiger just loves the Autumn sunshine. He stays out all day, under the shrubs when he's too hot,and rolling around on the patio when he wants to sunbathe.

                 

In spite of the fact that he is out in the garden a lot of the time ,these cheerful visitors really enjoy the bird food I put out for them, We are lucky to have a family of sparrows nesting under our eaves every year and it's lovely to see the chicks growing up and thriving.
