    Slightly different landscape today on @surrey_commuter turf. Never been around this part of London before

    No ULEZ or congestion charge and no traffic jams, it was great.

    Last of the bluebells, taken on my phone whilst on a run on Sunday. They'd already gone in my local woods but up higher in Clydach Gorge were still in all their glory.

    Clydach Bluebells-4

    Feels like there have been more than ever this year. I've also noticed the fields around me that have been left fallow seem to have more wild flowers than I'm used to seeing.

    We could go for 'classy cheese'...

    It's often helpful when nice people leave boats tied up near the shore for sunsets.

    Nice when people notice an aspect of the composition. 😉
    The above may be fact, or fiction, I may be serious, I may be jesting.
    I am not sure. You have no chance.

    Blackstone Cheddar? 😉

    That one mainly because I get grumpy when Topsham boat owners have the cheek to take their own boats away from their moorings just when I want them in the foreground.

    An interesting craft (aluminium hydrofoil). I had a Google, and it’s a Russian made Volga from the 60s/70s. With its retro lines, It would’ve looked right at home in an early Bond movie.

    I'm back in France - the forecast is decidedly changeable, but there's a good display of flowers at least.

    I've thought the same here, too. More fields have been left to grow wildflowers, but I'm sure the farmers will amend this shortly.

    Bravo Masjer!

    Three from this morning's walk... an orchid, a griffon vulture (they are huuuge!), and a gratuitous view back towards my house.

    Not often is it possible to get that close* to a vulture, and have the lighting correct. 👍

    *Probably a zoom lens but still...

    Indeed, it was a zoom lens, but they do come quite close if you're in the right place... however, then it's really hard to track them quickly enough when up close, so I think this was mid-distance, and below the cliff I was on, hence the decent light. I dare not count up how may fails I've had trying to get good shots, but this is only the second one that I'm quite pleased with.
