Seed Stealing Squirrel

Another look at one of our visiting squirrels stealing food from the birds feeding tray, which is situated only a few feet outside our living room window.
This was photographed in nice light through a pretty dirty double glazed window but I quite like the way it's turned out.
Try viewing large.

Rescued from my garden after it was battered to the ground by heavy rain. It just needed a quick rinse under the tap and it was ready for it's photo :-)
The Raptackle - Bosham Harbour

|
|
|
The Raptackle is an 18th Century Grade II listed warehouse in Bosham, West Sussex. It was built to store and make nets and ropes for the local fishing industry. It was also the home of Bosham Sea School. Nowadays, it is used by the local sailing club.
Best viewed large, on black. Thank you.

I borrowed some of my wife's scarves (and her winter hat) to create this collage of macro images.

My first decent sighting of daffodils this year........in my local churchyard. Could spring be on the way??
Thank you to everyone who has visited my photo-stream lately, especially those who have left a comment or a yellow star.
Have a lovely weekend everyone.
Men at Work

Taken at Emsworth, Hampshire yesterday, on a wet and windy afternoon.
I got so tired watching these men at work that I had go and sit in a warm dry café with some coffee and cake, until I was rested enough to drive home..!!
The Royal Oak and the Old Mill
|
|
|
|
Taken at Langstone Harbour, Hampshire, about an hour or so before high tide.
This was taken on another grey, damp and miserable day........but I needed to get out for some fresh air and this area is one of my "go to" places for a quick walk, as I only live about a 15 minute drive from here.You probably already know that as I have posted lots of photos of this place!
Best viewed large, I think. Thanks for looking!
St Mary's Church Portchester Castle (+PiP)
|
|
|
|
This lovely church was built circa 1133 inside the walls of a Roman fort (now Portchester Castle) when Henry I founded a small priory of Augustinian Canons who moved soon afterwards. The priory has long since gone, but the church remains, largely untouched.
Check out the PiP for a view of the inside.
Southsea Street Art

|
|
|
Another fantastic piece of artwork by local Southsea artist "My Dog Sighs".
This is on the wall of what used to be a huge Knight and Lee department store (and as it says on the wall, a branch of the John Lewis Partnership) which sadly, closed with a huge loss of jobs. It was one of two "flagship" stores in the shopping centre (the other being Debenhams, also closed down). I suspect both will soon be demolished and turned into housing.

Dying Bracken
A Healthy Breakfast?

This one is especially for Maggie (MaggsMep) as she pretty much challenged me not to post another "Marmite" photo :-)))
Taken indoors on my tabletop in natural window light. Afterwards, I drank the orange juice, my wife ate the boiled egg and the jar of Marmite will go to my daughter, who loves it. The toast and marmite went in the bin..!!
Maggie........if it's any consolation I got some Marmite on my fingers when setting up the shot and licked my fingers clean without thinking............it took ages to get rid of the taste. Yuk..!!
Brent Geese Gathering (+PiP)

Taken at Langstone Harbour yesterday afternoon.
I went with black and white because it was a black and white sort of day. There is a colour version in the PiP so you can see the (small) difference if you want to.
