Rather than going off topic on other threads, thought it may be better to create a general "miscellaneous" thread where you can add your stories or pics that are either memorable to you or pics you want to share with forum members; they don't have to relate specifically to wildlife (as on Odds & Sods thread) as Tea Rooms is for general chat/pics as long as you follow community acceptable guidelines !
To start it off I'll transfer over a few pics I put up for Wendy..............
@ Wendy, I wasn't into photography back in my Aussie days and can't find the happy snappy pics except for these.....
For Mick...…...a pic of Glen McGrath
Pre-match preparations ! and junk food lol

On a recent walk when there were lots of butterflies around Mike saw something flutter gently down to the ground and pointed out what we both thought was a Brimstone ……… not until I had spent 5 mins taking my time to get inch closer and grab a quick photo did I then realise it was a leaf lol.... apart from the serrated edges you can see how it fooled us both !

It's called the ageing process
Because of global warming, I have to wear a hat, to stop the heat from the sun being reflected back into the atmosphere!
Or is it to stop sunburn on my head!
When I remember, I'll let you all know.....

With modern outdoor clothing, gaiters do a better job, and less intrusive to the stride.

Oh dear, stalking a leaf! Did you need special camouflage?
I'm sorry, but someone had to comment, it was obligatory!
Kind regards, Ann
Unknown said:LOL, Hazel--What's Mike's version of the story?!
His version was the Brimstone flew off just before I found the leaf !
Lot to learn
