A promise kept...

I promised Elvira a photo of a Traditional Gypsy Caravan last time I wrote, I completely forgot, (how unusual), so here you are Elvira just for you.



A Traditional Gypsy Caravan.



I took this a couple of weeks ago very close to home. I have just discovered that a Gypsy Horse Fair is held only a few miles up the road from us at West Ardsley. It has been held every year for over 800 years, I know I should have known a lot sooner. The name of it is Lee Gap Horse Fair. I have heard of it, I just didn't realise it was round here. I have also discovered that in the same field in September another Gypsy Horse Fair is held called Latter Lee Horse Fair. I will be finding out more about both of these now I know how close they are.


This sign always makes me smile.


We pass this sign when we travel to Huddersfield for me to go for my physio sessions at the BMI Hospital. It never fails to make me smile, I just can't help it. It is on a tailors shop advertising alterations to trousers.



Bee on Lavender.


I have been trying for a while to take a photo of the bee's that land on the lavender. There are usually one or two on the bush. I never seem to manage to get them in focus. However today I was happy enough with the picture  to share it. 





Robin & a Ladybird.


While looking through some of my photo's I found this one, I quite like it, but I like robins so I would. Then I noticed the ladybird that I had never noticed before. I liked it even more then, so I started looking at some other pictures and it surprised me how many others had things on I hadn't noticed before. My birds and animals were being photo bombed by insects and bugs. I wonder if like me this happens to you and you just haven't noticed.



Three Squirrels all sharing the food.



Tony took this shot of three of the squirrels that visit the garden. It is not often we managed to fit three into one photo, nor is it often that three squirrels tolerate eating together.


I would love it if either of us could take a photo during one of our trips to Cumbria or Scotland similar to the one below.
