Spotted my first bluebell of the season up here in the woods today. That's about a week earlier than normal.

This one taken during the indigenous carnival in Tilcara, Northern Argentina during early March. A Scots guy turned up out of nowhere with a kilt on and lifted it up to expose his bare bum, this is a no no in Argentine culture and even though it was carnival he had his bum spray foamed by the local old ladies.

Currently editing and processing my way through 13,000 pictures taken during 7 weeks in Argentina and Uruguay. Here's a hand held panorama from Iguazu falls (Brazil Side) . Initially didn't want to go up there, extra expense (flights etc) on a limited budget, but Mrs Shingle put her foot down.

I like taking pics of quirky scenes, this one (again from Iguazu) probably won't sell, but I'll take it anyway.

My Acer, waking up, as the grasses from last year are slowly vanishing into sparrows' nests.

At Cliveden this morning.
Beautiful smells of Tulips, Hyacinths & Primula.

The Thames also tranquil.

I'm actually quite proud of this portrait I took of Terrance yesterday. Somewhat resembles an alien spacecraft parked up at the Amex

Great photo (I am very envious). They are very common here (Estonia) and I've seen seen one in front of next door's garden.

You know who, this afternoon.

This is a conker tree in my garden, with the sunlight reflected of the shiny buds, today.
This tree was grown from a conker I picked up from under a massive tree in Stanley Park, English Bay, in Vancouver about 8 years ago.
The tree was probably planted from an English conker in the 1880s.
The tree was no longer there when I checked a couple of years afterwards.
Mine lives on.
