  1. Food photography is quite specialised. I've nothing against it, indeed I enjoy looking at many of the excellent shots I have seen from other people. I just can't seem to do it justice myself, though. Seeing the words Grilled Cheese makes my mouth water. Just seeing the word cheese does, if I'm to be truthful. (Actually, just thinking the word in my head does the same).
  2. G'night, gang! It's been another busy, but productive, day here in Martyland. Hopefully I'll have some me time available over the next couple of days. Might even take TN out for a spin if the weather's suitable. Then again, me time might even be better if shared with someone else...
  3. Hi, Page. All good with you, I hope.
  4. You too, buddy. You too!
  5. When (and if) I finally get through the (ever growing) list of stories I still have to read that I don't need premium access to read, I'll maybe think about signing up for premium access.
  6. I sincerely doubt it, but it could be a cunning ploy by the site owners to try to persuade users to sign up and pay for a Premium account, which is apparently ad-free...
  7. I've just checked (I hardly ever use my phone for GA)... I did get one ad that filled the screen on my phone. But there was an X in the top right-hand corner of the ad. When I clicked that, the ad disappeared.
  8. No worries, B. I get that way myself at times.
  9. Sweet dreams.
  10. Hey, Bucket!
  11. https://www.bbc.com/news/science-environment-48827490
  12. Bit cooler here today. About 17°C /62.6°F.
  13. Hey, Alberto All's well in Albertville, I trust.
  14. G'day, gang Sorry if I seem to have been MIA. Big meeting yesterday that I needed to attend. Then, when I finally got home, I was so tired I fell asleep in the armchair... Might be MIA again for most of today as well. Am expected to write up minutes from yesterday's meeting, and I also have some editing to do for someone (and I should really try to get some of my own writing done).
  15. It was actually an English red deer. The red deer is the largest British wild land mammal standing about four feet (1.2m) at the shoulder. The stags shed their magnificent antlers every year. This photograph was taken back in September, 2008, in Lyme Park, Cheshire, England. Lyme Park is situated in a spectacular moorland setting at Disley near Stockport (my home town) on the edge of the Peak District National Park. The house and surrounding estate are owned by the National Trust. Lyme Park contains about 1,300 acres (526 hectares) of medieval deer park. The red deer herd at Lyme Park consist of about 250 animals which are descended from the wild herds which once roamed Macclesfield Forest.
  16. Last one out turn off the lights 👋
  17. Welcome home, Drew-pi-doo
  18. I think it's time I went to bed...
  19. He sure is. But, like lots of lovely lads, he took a lot of stalking before I finally managed to capture him.
  20. Just be careful not to strain that shoulder whilst you're doing so ...
  21. No I don't. Please enlighten us all, young Albert.
  22. Or, as Chuck Palahniuk said...
  23. Maybe... But photography is really just therapeutic to me. A bit like writing is...
  24. Specially for Albert, here's one of my wildlife photographs....
