The froglets are starting to leave the safety of their small pond, in various stages of development, some are totally developed, some still have a stub of a tail. I hope they make it, there's little out there in this area, very few ponds or proper greenery unfortunately #amphibians

Andrew@andrew20· Jun 30

I posted a pic a while back of the tadpoles I rescued, well, I would estimate there's about 150 left, some of them are losing their tails. I've built a moist environment for them to move into out of the water. I'm hoping 20 or so make it to maturity #amphibians #nature

Image of the surface of a small pond, various vegetation, a slice of cucumber is floating, there are three quite developed tadpoles in the water.

Yep.

She says:
"You ingested the entire written output of human civilization without consent, without compensation, and without credit, to build a system whose primary commercial application is eliminating the jobs of the peoplewhose work you consumed.
You are not liberating human creativity - you are strip-mining it and selling it back at a markup while calling the theft 'training data."

Another rose, also a sleeping insect in the centre #flowers

The climbing rose is looking good #flowers

Another rose, smells amazing #flowers

Image of a yellow rose, I take pics of this every year, it never disappoints, smells amazing too. Some blurry foliage in the background.

I did actually take apart the laptop on Saturday so it's replaced, really sloppy design though.

Andrew@andrew20· May 12

Is this any help?

There's a growing family of coal tits in this bird box, mom and dad are working tirelessly to keep the food coming. Sorry for the crap pic, didn't want to disturb them

I'm making the most of the lilies. I think I tried to channel Mapplethorpe here, that was the plan #flowers #blackandwhite #photography

I know some people aren't keen on spiders, this little guy is about as big as an ant to keep it in perspective #invertebrates

Macro image of a tiny jumping spider, I've seen a few of these around my back door. They have sort of zebra stripes on their abdomen.

Andrew@andrew20· Apr 23

I'll add to all the other #flowers out there, calla lilies are probably my favourites #photography

This little guy hitched a ride on my bag today, weird how it has a false face #invertebrates

Macro image of a small, brown, insect. I think it's some kind of bug, sitting on webbed material.

The apple tree is blossoming #flowers #nature

The pesky storm the other week smashed my favourite tulips. I think this is called a double tulip, or something like that. I'm amazed at how early flowers are blooming, the weather has gone to hell.

Image of a pink/red/cream coloured tulip, I think these are called double tulips, or something like that. It's taken looking down from above, there's a very heavy black vignette blocking the other foliage and background junk.

It's #caturday, innit, here's the boss looking wise😅

First butterfly of the year, (holly blue). I think this one emerged today due to the wings being translucent #invertebrates #butterflies

Image of a small, pale blue, butterfly, sitting on a wooden surface, some loose dirt on there also.

We could avoid a lot of the crazy stuff going on in the world today with one simple measure. All political candidates, and I mean all, should undergo vigorous psychological screening, from an independent, incorruptible body. I'm guessing that would reduce the pool by about 85%

Tulips are out, also clover lawn (background) doing well, about 50% clover #nature #flowers

Does anyone recognize the design on this brass button? I reckon it was made between 1920-50 by Pitt Co, London. I know it's a long shot, I'm out of ideas, sometimes I have to know about things, this is one of them🤔🧐😅

Andrew@andrew20· Mar 11

I decided to rescue all the frog spawn this year, so there's probably going to be a lot of frogs #amphibian #nature

I think it might have been related to the construction work going on nearby. They have built an enclosure that covers the entire house. It could have been the wind blowing through, not sure though. Alien visitors is more exciting🤔😅

Finally, signs of life, the sun actually came out #flowers

Image of a pink and white tulip opening to the sun, out of focus foliage in the background.

Andrew@andrew20· Mar 1

Saw this guy sitting in the sun the other day, yes the sun actually came out, anyway, I thought it was prime #caturday material.

Andrew@andrew20· Feb 28

Yes, so true, I quite like this blue cheese, it's good in small quantities🤤😅

I've not done #caturday in a while. I caught this one trying to chew up my fresh wheatgrass, of course, this stuff is better than his own, as is always the case.

Grey Shorthair cat sitting in a sunroom, he's sitting on a table, next to a plant mister and some wheatgrass, which incidentally, is caged so this beast doesn't chew it.

I've been craving colour to break the winter monotony #flowers

I'm going through stuff in my download folder🤔

If you resist taking down your Christmas tree, as i do, this is for you. I'll get there, next month probably, the cats really love it too, is that a good reason? Blurry images are in my future
