Friday Sky's



Taken a few weeks ago all on the same day. 
The blue sky looking out from the village of Blewbury

Back home in the afternoon the sky form my back garden

And last after going out the front of the house at Sunset this beautiful sky





The Dandilion







Trying out my Zoom Lens



Few weeks ago I had been down at the caravan site I visit and I took with me my new zoom lens. I went for a wander around with it trying it out and spotted this little fellow sitting on a branch


Took a step closer

and a little closer

Further along and noticed sheep on the hillside

Across the lake a wagtail looked at me

and opposite the Yerts waiting gusts to arrive

Taking a Selfie






The Nest



The other day I was in our garden when It started raining so I quickly sheltered in a small corner arbour I have in the Garden, Looking up I noticed the beginnings of a wasp nest. I'm always intrigued at the work that goes in to making a nest.


Such a small delicate thing 


Inside small honeycombs awaiting eggs


It looks like it could be blown away is a slight breeze 


When you see it on the roof space it looks very small

Some Otters



Taken at Cotswold Wildlife park a few weeks ago. Nice to see them out playing in the sun, the last time I saw them was when we took our children around some twenty years ago. One was near the wall and I was looking down in it. I thought it looked so soft what does it feel like. Bad mistake, it turned around and bit me, not only that when I stood up it was hanging on my finger. my wife & children just burst in to laughter and some people looking on nearby watched on in horror. Lucky it let go and run back off to it's mates thinking I did not taste that good. This time I was content to take photos of them. They still look soft and cuddly though
.
 Four of them here two looking romantic

Basking in the sun

Mmm I like you

Blow that I'll bask here a little longer

Snuggle time

I'm off.
 Hope you enjoyed them I'll write a longer blog on Costwold in my Exploration Blog soon

Table for Four







Cambridge from the Air



The other week I was lucky enough to take a flight over Cambridge with my wife so as usual I took a few photos out of the window. See if you can recognise any of the places. I'm afraid I don't know Cambridge so am no help on the buildings you see
