Post the best photo you took today

[JP_]

This photo I took today. The photo on the TV is one I took a year or so ago on a day trip to Brightlingsea.
The picture I finished today.
New hobby - artist! I am only on day 3, a long way to go!

 

[Mottie]

Our daughters friend is quite good at drawing. She drew this picture of our dog from a photo while on a flight to America. I know some people think one dog is no different to another but Susie is instantly recognisable (by our dog owning friends) from the drawing. Came out quite good I thought.

This car in a street near me is still in daily use and it’s never been garaged.

Talented artist, promising career I would have thought.

I still can't imagine being that good at drawing. Maybe with practice and patience ...

Is that an unhatched egg there?

Yes probably unfertilised according to the experts, another was lost overboard during an attack by an Owl

Did you climb up to take the shot?

I found this slater walking across the kitchen floor. I trapped it in a jar, took it outside and photographed it.
The little white things are its babies, which were all hanging on to its underside.

You call wood lice 'slater': is that a Scottish term?
I knew 'em as 'tanks' in younger days.

 

[Mottie]

We called them 'Rolie Polies' because they roll up into a ball.

I salted the tail of a slug i found on the yard this morning and saw a 'tank' scurrying along, so salted the way ahead, making him veer sharply to the right, a little more salt made him twist to the left...'dance, you buggr, dance'

In this area we call them Slaters. I know that they have many names and are called different things in different parts of the country. I'm sure Jeremy Vine had it as a topic a couple of years ago.

On next door's wheelie bin.

They don't make labels like that anymore
