They certainly do Margaret - the can be a real nuisance! I used to find the odd one even in our bathroom in the house we used to live in -they can get everywhere...

they certainly are a nuisance! the last place i had where ants kept coming in the house and I couldn't rid myself of them, i looked online and found an idea to put sugar outside... they never came back inside again

Nope just saw this guy taking photos and nearly said hi thinking it might be one of our members

You should have done Mick. You might have made him a convert to Accyweb.

When I was in Preston Last Monday I was taking pics of County Hall and an old polish chap came up and spent nearly half an hour chatting to me. He wanted to know why I was taking pictures. I told him that I like interesting architecture.

I'm wondering if it might be Accyexplorer...he hasn't been on-line yet.

The promised "Procession" was a bit of a damp squib -they no longer walk here from the little shrine down the lane -all a bit too old!( The youngest person was the priest (dressed in dark trousers and pale blue shirt) I went on my bike to take a pic as they'd put fresh flowers there - then all the partecipants arrived at the chapel in cars.
It was quite nice as they recited some rosaries and then sang an Ave Maria - I was outside listening as the sun went down.
Lots of remeniscing about the old days -when loads of people turned out and they processed with a band from the village and there was a big reception held in the farm yard with barrels of wine

[Margaret Pilkington]

At least they had a fine day for it...it has been ****itively possing it down all day over here.
Glad I didn't put the washing on to do today.

I really like that you are capturing the village life around you, Diane. Number 10 is an especially lovely shot!

More attempts to capture some nature, but not quite what I had hoped for to enter this latest Comp. I can sit there for ages, and as soon as an interesting creature appears I raise my camera, and the little beggars scarper! Oh well, it's lots of fun trying.

Davemac, where are you? I haven't seen a post from you in quite a few days. I hope all is ok with you and yours.

1. The elusive Ruby Throated Hummingbird - this one's a male (he has the ruby throat!)

2. My friend the Pileated Woodpecker. The noise he made drumming on this tree was quite impressive.

While the standards are very high for the comp, I think both of those are very worthy Turtle.

[Margaret Pilkington]

Me too. It is going to be really hard to win this one.....so many fine entries.
