    Poor Alfie.

    A lovely selection Adrian. Those damselflies are always at it.

    Keith, thanks, Alfie is dim. I was sitting down trying to catch a Heron feeding this morning and he was lying on the edge stones of the old gunpowder wharf. He decided to roll onto his back and....splash. The third time he has been in. This time as he was two feet down I had to help him out. Even a relaxed Heron does not tolerate that commotion. in this shot he just went for a drink and assumed duck weed was grass!

    John, they could be better. I was using a Sigma 50mm-500mm lens. I bought it before I knew any better. It's hopeless at 50mm and only good up to about fifteen metres at full chat. The light is also a bit harsh.....excuses. A bad workman..ETC!

    I'm enjoying today's selection. Can't decide whether Alfie's exploits count as whimsy but I think I'll assume they do. Love whimsy. As you said, daft dog.
