Hi all, Here are a few more pictures, most of them were taken with Sue's new Fuji Finepix HS10 Camera. Sue is still getting to grips with it, it is a Digital Camera but not an SLR, athough it has a remarkable 30X zoom and takes up to a 10.3 Megapixel picture.
We visit Badgers Holt on Dartmoor for a lot of these pictures.
Please click on any picture to enlarge it.
 

This is a very familar garden bird, the "Blue Tit"

 This little "Chaffinch" certainly has a mouthful.

 There are several members in the Tit family, one or two are quite difficult to tell apart. This one (i think) is a "Coal Tit"

 The biggest and one of the most attractive of our Tits, the "Great Tit"

Observations on Growing Older ~
Your kids are becoming you...and you don't like them...but your grandchildren are perfect!
~Going out is good.. Coming home is better!
~When people say you look "Great"... They add "for your age!" ~When you needed the discount, you paid full price.  Now you get discounts on everything... Movies, hotels, flights, but you're too tired to use them.
~You forget names .... But it's OK because other people forgot they even knew you!!!
~The 5 pounds you wanted to lose is now 15 and you have a better chance of losing your keys than the 15 pounds.
~You realize you're never going to be really good at anything .... Especially golf.
 ~Your spouse is counting on you to remember things you don't remember.
~The things you used to care to do, you no longer care to do, but you really do care that you don't care to do them anymore. ~Your husband sleeps better on a lounge chair with the TV blaring than he does in bed. It's called his "pre-sleep". ~Remember when your mother said, "Wear clean underwear in case you GET in an accident"? Now you bring clean underwear in case you HAVE an accident!
 ~You used to say, "I hope my kids GET married... Now, "I hope they STAY married!"
~You miss the days when everything worked with just an "ON" and "OFF" switch..
~When GOOGLE, ipod, email, modem .... Were unheard of, and a mouse was something that made you climb on a table.
~You tend to use more 4 letter words .... "what?"..."when?"... ???~Now that you can afford expensive jewelry, it's not safe to wear it anywhere.
~Your husband has a night out with the guys, But he's home by 9:00 P.M. Next week it will be 8:30 P..M.
~You read 100 pages into a book before you realize you've read it.
~Notice everything they sell in stores is "sleeveless"?!!! ~What used to be freckles are now liver spots.
~Everybody whispers.
~Now that your husband has retired .... You'd give anything if he'd find a job!
~You have 3 sizes of clothes in your closet ... 2 of which you will never wear.
~~~~But old is good in some things: Old songs, Old movies, And best of all, OLD FRIENDS!!
Love you, "OLD FRIEND!"
Send this on to other "Old Friends!" and Let them laugh in AGREEMENT!!!
It's Not What You Gather, But What You Scatter That Tells What Kind Of Life You Have Lived
