Popular Post Soulandy Posted February 14 Popular Post Share Posted February 14 (edited) Good to see this back up and running and hope Russ is OK and that he joins us soon Some fantastic photos over the years of all manner of things so hope this years will follow on. My annual start to the new year up Snowdon turned out to be one of the best mountain days I've had. A full-on inversion where the weather above the clouds was warmer than summer, well nearly. The added bonus of a Broken Spectre finished of a most perfect start to 2024 Edited February 14 by Soulandy 8 Link to comment Social source share More sharing options...

Popular Post Peter99 Posted February 20 Popular Post Share Posted February 20 Well, this thread needs some photographs! In the absence of any further brilliance, I will post a couple of extremely poor quality, hardly worthy of the thread, telephone pictures I took today. The first is a new shrub that I planted in my garden this afternoon. It's a Cornus Sibirica, and it was a birthday gift from my friend Preacher Man. It's the first thing I've done in the garden this year. The second two are of Ace, my Doberman rescue dog. He's eight now, still a challenge, but very loving and good company for me. He has bad arthritis in both of his back legs, and is on medication for those. He's ok though, playing and walking. He is very overweight, and will be in boot camp soon, now the weather is improving. I hope they're ok anyway. Peter 5 Link to comment Social source share More sharing options...

Popular Post Peter99 Posted April 4 Popular Post Share Posted April 4 Here are a couple from me - just with my phone at home; I still don't leave the house very much due to my mentalist issues. As always, they're not fantastic. Someone bought me a Amaryllis plant for Christmas - I've never seen or grown one before. Anyway, it's quite a magnificent flower when in bloom. 5 1 Link to comment Social source share More sharing options...

Perhaps because the newts in my garden have become active and I've seen quite a few today. I'll try and get a few photo's. Peter 1 Link to comment Social source share More sharing options...

Woodbutcher Posted June 21 Share Posted June 21 Such was the clear blue sky and very good seeing this morning I decided to try an animation of the active region that's grown so much this week . I captured 45 short 2100 frame videos between 08:30 and 10:30 and stacked the best 200 frames from each video to get 45 frames that I then cropped down and made into a .gif. Very happy to see a lot of motion in the penumbra between the two main spots in the region. 3 Link to comment Social source share More sharing options...
