Your picture of the day...

[Tank]

I went for a job interview up near Derby, sadly the job went to someone else but my girlfriend family used to live not far so went around a few of the places she spent a lot of her childhood

Nice pics. Thanks for sharing.

We had a wander today, and came across these very inquisitive, south american camels. [Alpaca]
Not far from us, someone keeps 5 or 6 in his garden, of about an acre. [Surrounded by fields]
They have a sign up, in the garden, selling the alpaca wool. You can get very close to them. They have very dense wool, big heads, large eyes, and teeth which stick straight out. Goofy looking. Great really.

alpacas are wonderful beasties...it's really sad that my mum's ones have been dying off from bad luck (poisonous plants, one to dogs) and old age. we now only have three females
and as for "goofy looking" have you seen a recently clipped sheep?. those 'pacas look to have been recently clipped

Went for a walk today to get some sun. I had the day off as I'd worked the weekend.

Thought I'd check out the Derwent at Bubwith.

I went to my local park to test out some new boots.

I took my camera with me, I only kept about 12 photos, I'd say these were the best.

Where I parked my car was a bit misty, it was about 14:30 and the sun was going down.



But by one of the few lakes it was nice and clear.



I only saw 4 ducks, 3 geese and 1 squirrel in just over an hour.

Taken earlier in the week, but as this is my first post on here, I think I can get away with it (I hope!)

I like that picture L.E.A.F

Guys and girls, i've just spent a while going through the pics in here and they're great, I think this is a great thread, inspirational, I've got to take more pics

We went to an archery match today and managed to snap some interesting pics.

This one of beaver chewings on a tree, something I had never seen before in real life:

This shot was took by my mate. It is now my wallpaper:

There were a lot of beaver signs, feces, and this beaver track leading to the water:

We stopped around dusk on the way back to look at this herd of wild red deer:

There were female red deer as far as the eye could see, also one or two foxes were spotted.

Ok - this is about as far from bushcrafty as you can get and it is only loosely based on an actual photograph but here is my take on a Mondrian. If you haven't heard of him he was a Dutch abstract artist who is best known for his work using black lines and red/yellow/blue/white rectangles and squares. His paintings sell for serious money. For example in 2009 one of his was priced at between $30m and $40m. More details at:

I am open to offers for this one....... or commissions .....

PS I call it "Sun over an open landscape"

Spent a few hours wandering round Alderley Edge even convinced the Mrs to have a go of the honey stove and soup instead of packing sandwiches. She really enjoyed it!

Yesterday in the South Downs.

That's a great view LEAF but how clean is that kettle?
