Looking Sheepish

And well they might do! They had escaped into the wood from an adjoining field.

Evening Swim

This labrador didn’t need much persuasion to jump in to fetch it’s ball – though I suspect it delibrately ‘misplaced’ it’s target in an attempt to get even more swimming time (like you do!).

Molehill Landscape

Looks as if the mole’s town planners are as good ours at the moment … see a bit of green and build a house on it. AND, in this case, they also seem to be ignoring the basic good sense of avoiding flood plains as this field regularly floods every year.

Merry Christmas

I couldn’t come up with some snow but these Robins always look a bit festive.

If you drink have a nip of something to warm you through, if not, take some extra time to make yourself a satisfying beverage just how you like it. And look after yourselves – remember, without you there’s no us.

All the best.

Blue Tit

I’ve not posted for a fair time, life has a habit of getting in the way – so I thought I’d post a picture of a Blue Tit to kick things off again. Of course, WordPress have redesigned the editing software interface since I was last here – still, like life, technology is there to be overcome!

Red-eyed Stream Frog

This portrait was taken at night using torchlight/flashlight.  Whilst I believe it is a Red-eyed Stream Frog, I’m happy to be corrected on this.  There seem to be alternative Latin names –  Duellmanohyla uranochroa or Duellmanohyla rufioculis – maybe they are different animals?

Poison Dart Frog

Another from Costa Rica.  This little frog was tucked in the undergrowth by the side of a formal footpath through a rain forest.

Zenaida asiatica.

Just Hangin’

Surprisingly quick when it put its mind to it, a Three Toed Sloth in Tortuguero.
