Robbie 39 Posted August 31, 2015 Report Share Posted August 31, 2015 Compo, on this wet bank holiday Monday I have just spent some enjoyable time looking at your photographs in photobucket, There are some great shots covering a variety of subjects. I don't know if you have uploaded much of your work in the past, if you haven't, you should. It would be good to see them covered on this site where you would reach a bigger audience and your efforts appreciated. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Compo 10,328 Posted August 31, 2015 Author Report Share Posted August 31, 2015 Robbie: What subjects are you referring to specifically? Most of my stuff is either locked away in the computer/memory sticks or on Picasa. Take a look at "Owt about nowt - Things you don't see anymore". I have put loads of individual photos in there over the years. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Compo 10,328 Posted September 1, 2015 Author Report Share Posted September 1, 2015 I lived in Ethiopia during 1984-86 and always wanted to re-visit the place. I finally managed it in 2010 for my 60th birthday. Had a great time and would recommend it to all except perhaps children. Here's a link to a few Sri Lankan birds taken this year in February: https://picasaweb.google.com/paul.simonite/BirdsOfSriLanka?authuser=0&authkey=Gv1sRgCNW8uYvQkKuKhgE&feat=directlink And a few Sri Lankan beaches: https://picasaweb.google.com/paul.simonite/SomeBeaches?authuser=0&authkey=Gv1sRgCMby596jvtyF_gE&feat=directlink And finally here's a few Sri Lankan Mangrove swamp pictures: https://picasaweb.google.com/paul.simonite/MangroveSwamp?authuser=0&authkey=Gv1sRgCNKGl-2_3KL3gQE&feat=directlink To keep on topic, here's a pictures of the "Easter Chieftain" special passing by my garden taken from my front lawn (The former "Up" platform): 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Chulla 4,946 Posted August 27, 2016 Report Share Posted August 27, 2016 Every year Mrs Chulla buys two growbags and grows her tomatoes. Every year we get a little frog take residence inside the slit-open bag. Haven't seen him this year, until half an an hour ago when she excitedly called me. There was a beautiful fully-grown frog sitting beside the bag. 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
