Still running out of road Mick! Youve not been out for a blast on the bike have you! Hopefully your choice of the word mishap means nothing too serious :-D

Come on plate-stepper-uppers, the FCF's easiest thread to participate in, needs a decent crop of regular posters.

To correct yesterday's duck here's 2 from me which caused a click of the shutter

First a mock orange. Reminds me of my Grandpa's garden as a boy. Heavy scent.

and this one simply because to my eyes it was cute, and the sort of thing where I think...I could build one of those, the mind gets a treat, but the possibility rarely turns into reality :-D

Having had my mishap on Thursday I have treated myself to 2 days of golf and F1 so the shutter has been out of action, however in order to avoid any flack from the Northumbrian office I have prepared this masterpiece: :-D

Never Flugabwehrkanone from me :-D Just gentle encouragement for all, and your own contributions always keep the thread flowing with something new to look at/comment on.

Almost went out touring in the car today but managed to restrain myself.
Managed a shot of the first 'Superstar' rose to bloom. There were others but they wouldn't stand still.

It has been warm here today - temperature shown confirmed on a digital thermo mometer.

Crap display. New batteries don't help. The Max figure, not the main one.

This was already posted in the Spotted thread, but I was quite pleased with how this photo came out in general.

Nice little flurry after the appeal, keep it up participators new and old. Even I get bored by a few days of my own input :-D

Yes I liked that one surprisingly the car is not the most interesting part of the composition for me, there is something intriguing about the style of the building :-D

edit I thought it may have been an old cinema, but as it turns out no real architectural or nostalgic gem in full view, in fact the pic with the BX captures the best bit!

Spotted these on my perambulation after dropping my car off for MOT.

Not very exciting but then that isn't unusual.
Did remind me though that I had hundreds in my garden a couple of days ago, in the evening.
Went to take a photo the next morning and there was no sign that they gad ever been there.
