    Speaking of lepidopteral stuff and with it being November I present you with the November moth (I think).


    If you can keep your head, while those around you are losing theirs, you may not have grasped the seriousness of the situation.

    It's a great word - and no mistake  ;)
     
    He has a lovely furry coat @wild edges :)
    It's a place where beautiful isn't enough of a word....



    I live in west central Scotland - not where that photo is...

    Huge amount of pollinators enjoying some November sun today and drinking in the last of the nectar.  On the ivy there were probably equal amounts of flies and bees.  On the mahonia the bees were dominating.  Stand underneath (it’s that big) and the hum of the bees is incredible.  Wish I could post a video here to show you guys but don’t think that’s possible

    @1634 Racine  -  you could upload a vid to Youtube and then post the link right in the comment window - here - (rather than adding a highlighted hyperlink.)

    I think I might have just created the new most boring video ever posted on YouTube

    I've just watched it and I think it's lovely @1634 Racine :)

    The only ones I've taken are of herds of deer disappearing over the horizon, or shaky footage of views from hill summits while trying to stay upright in the wind  :D

    @1634 Racine  - it's great. New tech frontiers crossed! I can hear the Buzz! They love your plants.

    @Papi Jo ah cool thank you

    glad it has given some enjoyment to someone other than me.  If we get another sunny day I will go in for the mahonia buzz video
