Nice Shot’

Great photo

Believe it or not, this was yesterday on Cannock Chase. I would have been better off barefoot though, as the ground was very wet and soon after taking these pictures, my feet sank into the ‘bog’ and became completely soaked! At least my trousers didn’t get wet 🙂

Ever since my daughter hid a cache under a footbridge over this stream, I have fancied taking a dip there; today I took my chance…

Last Thursday was just too hot for any strenuous activity here in the UK, so I waited until today before doing a series of 23 geocaches I had planned to do last week. I couldn’t walk the whole route naked, but there was quite a bit of it where I was Ok. There didn’t seem to be many places where, on my own and without a full-sized tripod, I could…[Read more]

Driving home today after finding a geocache, I decided to detour a little along a lane I seldom, if ever, go along. There was space to pull in by the start of a path I could see on the map, so off I went. In today’s warm sunshine I was soon naked walking across the middle of crop fields where the farmer had cut the path through as they are o…[Read more]

I’ll never rival David Lewis (@burdz), but today on my caching trip, I did manage to capture a pied wagtail, a great crested grebe, a coot and a juvenile grey heron (perched on a floating nest box that had another baby in it)

Kia ora and greetings from New Zealand. Great photos of you Brian in your birthday suit

“Kia ora” – Google translates it as “To live” (and ‘detects’ it as ‘Maori’). A nice greeting indeed, thanks. I’m guessing the nearest English equivalent may be to wish you “Good health”…
Over here, most people would probably just think of a fruit drink! Such is marketing…-
Over in New Zealand Kia ora is a sign of welcome or hello

On my way home from Scotland, before I left the area I had stayed in I went looking for some more geocaches. This is just by one called “Clints of Drowmore View” and that is the view. Although cold today, the sun was out and at this point there wasn’t much wind, so it was quite pleasant. The more distant hill is ‘Cairnsmore of Fleet’. That’s a…[Read more]

The problem with riding your bike on less-used bridleways is that sometimes it is just not possible to ride…

The bluebells are still out in the woods, but the rhododendrons are not far behind…
-
Not common in Italy. As «Rhododendron» we know the low shrub growing up on high mountains (Rhododendron ferrugineum – and Rhododendrum hirsutum) and we see them during our hikes. This must be the Rhododendron ponticum. Not in «AESCHIMANN-LAUBER… “Flora alpina”.
-
Strictly it is an invasive species here in the UK. According to the website below it is the hybrid Rhododendron x superponticum, so when you said Rhododendron ponticum, you were right.
