This morning I mowed the lawn and produced these Stripes.

This morning I went to my local park - S for squirrels. I took so many shots that I wasn't able to decide which one to select, so I solved my problem by making a collage.

I took this photograph early yesterday evening, when a storm was brewing and painting the sky with a rainbow.

Painted glass - windows in Horace Walpole's wonderful Gothic palace at Strawberry Hill, Twickenham.

Something usually prohibited is a casual visit to the tiny village of Imber on Salisbury Plain. In 1943 it was taken over at very short notice by the military to train US soldiers for the imminent D-Day landings. Imber was never returned to civilian use and is now used for training in urban warfare. The only building left of the original settlement is the mediaeval church. So a walk around Imber and the beautiful countryside around it is strictly prohibited - except for certain special periods and even then you are not allowed to leave the road. A fleet of vintage London buses ferried in the crowds yesterday for the annual "Imberbus" day and not a soldier in sight!

As the personification of "Miss Daisy", I have to be driven everywhere by my long-suffering husband, so my favourite car detail is the passenger seat. On the other hand, I do read maps quite helpfully. Brenda

"A" is for Arms and Armour - plus An Ardent Admirer - which I photographed this morning in London's Wallace Collection. I had real problems with light reflecting off the glass showcases, but these are the best of the bunch. Dennis

The two opening shots are outstanding and set a high standard for the rest of us. I've always wanted to visit Australia and Sydney looks fabulous. Never managed to "shoot" an aeroplane in flight - we only see distant jets on their way into Heathrow airport!

Arboreal Art, which I photographed today in Lesnes Abbey Woods in south East London - what a gem these woodlands are, hidden away in the urban wilderness where London meets Kent. Brenda

This old and redundant horse trough has been preserved and recycled as a miniature flower garden in the town of Horsham. A reminder of days of old, before the advent of the petrol engine. Brenda

The song is "Rain on the Window" - I think it was sung by The Hollies. Dennis

The Greyhound Hotel in Carshalton village dates from at least 1700 - over 300 years of history as an inn, midway between London and the famous Epsom Racecourse. It even boasts a ghost, a man who, legend has it, froze to death outside the door in the 1800's.

Our local church, St. Mary's, Beddington. Although much restored by the Victorians, it is an ancient church and is part of our own personal local history - we were married there, 50 years ago this December. Just behind it is the local stately home, Carew Manor. Again much altered by the Victorians it houses a mediaeval great hall with a hammer-beamed roof still intact.

"At this moment in time..." Why can't we just say "now"?
