Another view of Bosham, taken whilst standing on Shore Road which is the road that runs round the edge of the harbour. Shore Road is only accessible at low tide, and when the tide comes in it completely submerges the road. Bosham is well known locally for the sometimes comical mishaps of visitors who decide to park by the shore at low tide, only to return and find their car floating away or at the least submerged under the water! www.ipernity.com/doc/keithburton/49282094

Empty bench - Hayling Island, Hampshire. H B M everyone - have a good week!

If I'm not mistaken this shows a pair of Toads (the smaller one is the male) in a mating embrace. Taken in the Southsea Rock Gardens. Not one of my finest efforts, but in my defence, I was balanced on one knee on the slippery edge of a pond, in the rain! I'm happy with it as a "record" shot. Marginally better viewed large.

Taken at low tide yesterday afternoon. It was at Bosham that King Canute, tongue in cheek, ordered the waves to cease their movement. Canute was not so vain as to think he could actually command the tide; he was making a point to the courtiers who continually tried to curry favour by flattering him. Bosham was not a happy place for the king, for it was here that his 8-year-old daughter tragically drowned in the millstream that runs directly outside the churchyard wall. The child was buried inside Holy Trinity Church, her grave marked by a simple stone plaque under the 11th-century chancel arch. Go large for best effect!

Happy Fence Friday everyone. I hope you all have a good day and an enjoyable weekend. Thank you for all your visits, comments and yellow stars over the past week. This was taken at Hilsea Lido near Portsmouth, Hampshire.

Not the best looking specimen............but then, neither am I :-)))

Taken yesterday afternoon on a cold, windy and mainly overcast day. On the plus side we found an ice cream kiosk open! Please view large on black and check out the PiP for a charming piece of beach hut artwork.

Shot on the tabletop in my living room. Natural light from the window and a piece of white card as a background. I added a subtle bokeh-type texture in post processing.

Taken in Lepe Country Park in the New Forest, Hampshire. Originally posted in September 2011 as part of a batch transferred from Flickr. I thought this deserved a second look! Best viewed large, on black. HBM everyone...............have a good week..!!
