Mostly photos of wildlife, birds, trains and sunsets... some cartoons, largely satire/puns
Taken with a Compact Digital Camera (20x optical zoom)
Pinned
Just spotted Jupiter over Manchester, lowdown towards the East, DESPITE our chronic light pollution! Pretty surprised to manage to get it on camera, as well...

When cloud blocks out the Beaver, so you shoot the Moon a couple of days later...

Well, yup, if you floor the accelerator so you can overtake a cyclist literally *at* the entry to the mini-roundabout, you probably *will* almost hit the car that's already on it!

There is a vital life-lesson here, for drivers who need to learn it... 🚲🚗🛑

Anyone else managed to totally miss seeing comet Lemmon, due to cloudy night skies? On the plus side, it has been clear enough TWICE this week to see #Venus in the morning 😀📸
With the clocks going back this weekend, here's hoping for some better #skyscapes to come!

Great to see the Knavesmire Harriers out in force for the Yorkshire 10 Mile & Yorkshire Marathon today - and the Harriers, Acorns and Windmills cheering us on all round the course! Thank you guys 🙂 Also pretty pleased with my time on the 'fun' run lol! 😂😜 @ukrunchat.bsky.social #ukrunchat

It's too cloudy in Manchester to see the #HarvestMoon #FullMoon #SuperMoon - but thankfully, I took a few pics of it yesterday, just *before* it was full!
