Jumping spider #1

Had a good little selection of things to photograph at the weekend in the garden. This little one was on the door frame before I even got outside and I managed to catch him on the run. I have some great shots from Spain and will post more as they are really cute when you get a moment to look at them. (unless spiders really aren’t your thing, then maybe not so cute).

On the piss

On the piss. A funny saying here in the UK for when something is on the lean or not in a straight line (not sure if it’s common elsewhere). Also used for going out to get inebriated. On the lash being an interchangeable term for this also, and now and again one might use getting shit faced to explain what your purpose is for a Friday night or weekend. I love language and its uses and meaning!

Yesterday we had a bit of play in the sun with the ball. On the way back she looked as if she would fall over 🤣 action shots are so much fun.

Stonechat close up

We had a number of stonechats in Spain which frequented the garden, giving me ample opportunity to get some good shots. But this one stopped near me while I happened to already have my camera in hand and didn’t mind me gradually getting closer and closer. Even singing a bit while I was taking pictures. You can’t help get the feeling sometimes nature enjoys being watched.
