Nice shots Bruce, especially the Hippo 
Reminds me of a song
New lens test?
I’ve been rumbled … my second purchase in a month.
Picked up one of THESE going cheap.
… not a typical macro shot, but just trying it out on general purpose stuff.
I know it’s not the best M43 macro lens but it’s a class all-rounder.
I used one of those on my Olympus E-M1 and had really good results. Nice and light too.
Not taken today but printed out when I need to keep the birds from crapping on my car especially when I have just washed it. One photo on the dash and one on the rear shelf. Works a treat. Feel free to copy and try it. (juvenile Sparrowhawk- sat on the garden wall watching me -quite unafraid- well who would argue with that beak and talons)
That seems a good idea Toners. There was a large bird of prey statue put in a market hall to stop the pigeons getting in, worked at first, but after a while the pigeons realised it was a plastic bird & used to perch beside it, smirking at the stall holders down below.
Yes I change the photo when needed. I had a holiday in a scottish seaside town once and noticed an oddly placed owl on a lamppost. A local told me it was intended to scare away the seagulls but he said ’ They soont kent it was deed’!
A weird image of an owl on a lamppost.
Didn’t take a photo unfortunately!
Still seeing the eye of a hawk seems to be a deterrent, pigeons seem averse to ignore and the effect seems to last until the photo fades. Keeps the car clean.
Good idea and really nice shots toners
Went on a beekeeping experience today,got to take out a frame or three looking for the needle in a haystack called the queen.
Nice shot mate and do you intend to keep some bees? I can see the Queen, it’s the one with the black and yellow stripes 
The wife bought it for me as a birthday present,it maybe something to look at when I get closer to retirement, a grand per hive to set up didn’t sound unreasonable.
Late sunflower we don’t know how it got where its at not planted anyway,one of mates from yesterday having a feed on it.
It was wet and overcast today but I had some visitors on my back patio.
And because it rained and Azalia flowers only last 5 minutes before they turn brown and make a mushy mess on the lawn…
Thanks Gasman- actually it was also eyeing up the bird feeders hoping for a snack- not the peanuts though.
It is a bit like ‘Where’s Wally’ in a kiddies book.
Nice one and you can keep lots of honey
A nice Blue Tit - good shot mate
