Thanks Joyce, I am really pleased with both the camera and the gazanias - I have grown 3 varieties and if they all flower at the same time I will try to get a picture of each to show the difference. I think this is Tiger Stripe.
First try at posting photos on the new format forum so hope it works OK.
A local landmark for you, the lupin field next to the 12thC St Peter's Church, Terwick near Rogate in West Sussex. The field was given to the National Trust in 1939 by Mrs Jane Patterson Hodge (a Titanic survivor) in memory of her husband, Thomas.
Love those pix GD. Looks like that will be a terrific area for wildlife, and people, over time
Some from yesterday's long day on Stob a' Choire Mheadhoin and Stob Coire Easain at Loch Treig, east of Fort Bill.
Tons of little blue butterflies on the walk in. This one eventually stayed still long enough to get a pic
Heading up to the first top. Steep up through the crags, but worse coming down!
Mheadhoin coming into view from the next 'top' Meall Cian Dearg
A nice view of the final approach to Mheadhoin with the plane overhead
Just the other side of the stony, shaley summit, with the second Munro ahead Stob Coire Easain
Pano from the same point, looking south towards Glencoe.
Looking across to the aptly named Grey Corries, Mamores, Nevis etc, from the summit plateau
Weary legs took me to the final summit of the day. Summit cairn is perched on the edge of the steep corrie
Then back by the same route. My little legs were objecting to the idea of the re-ascent!
The view from the north end of the lochan on the drive back out. The hills aren't visible from here - they're south of this, down the right hand side, tucked out of sight
Then I 'rescued' a dodgy looking lamb lying on the road and frothing at the mouth a few hundred yards further on.
Called in at the house further on and she said she'd give the owner a call. My good deed for the day. Although I think it was heading for some mint sauce....
It's a place where beautiful isn't enough of a word....
I live in west central Scotland - not where that photo is...

Garden sculpture anyone? These were taken at a local sculpture park near Churt which has about 600 pieces on display on a 10 acre site.
This one is huge and comes complete with the gazebo it stands on. A snip at £168,000!
A David Goode bronze, a mere £13,500!
Loved these fighting stags, slightly larger than life size.
The first one would give me nightmares
but I do like the bronze. Something relaxing about it
Love that picture with the reflection, too, Steephill. I agree with Joyce - lovely relaxing bronze.

Hi, were these pictures taken in the last week?
every year I intend to visit and never make it so maybe I will visit this weekend
Hi Hortus, yes these were taken last week. There were plenty of blooms just starting so the field should look good for a couple of weeks yet.
Lovely. Thank you so much.
