Fortnightly Salon Competition No17 - Generations

Re: Fortnightly Salon Competition No17

It's a blackbird which has taken over my greenhouse. I've had to move all my plants out so as not to disturb her. Took this shot when she popped out to have a pee. The greenhouse is right out side my bedroom window so will be keeping an eye on her.

That's a delightful story and I hope they hatch safely and do well.

If you want to help out - they'd be chuffed if you left them some earthworms. They also enjoy mealworms, available from various sources such as THIS one. Don't forget to leave water too .... preferably in a wide bowl so they can splash about in it as well as drink it.

Great stuff - we had a blackbird pair nesting in am overgrown Ivy for several years. Used to get the moggies going, though they never got close (the Ivy was THAT thick).

Unfortunately, the Ivy was in danger of pulling the fence it was growing on down. so it had to be heavily pruned at the beginning of the year - well before nesting time.

My Dear Wife has got me to make a half door so as to keep the cats out. The things us old softies do for nature.

Pol my greenhouse has been organized like a 5 star hotel. The only thing we have over looked is a Bible. Shade has also been arranged so that the temperature don't get to high.

Nice one Ron

We've got a couple of Blue Tits nesting in a 'BBC birdhouse', but now the trees
are getting covered in leaves, I can only just make out the front, so it's difficult
to see them going in and out !!

Three generations of memory; 100bit, 256Kb and 512 Mb.

The picture was taken several years ago, even the 512Mb looks huge now!

I think they've lasted through a couple of millennia without problem.

Seeing as the transistor was nearly scrapped in favor of the valve, it sure has changed the world. Thank god the OC72 was such a success. Now that shows my age.

Re: Fortnightly Salon Competition No17

Only two days left ...... and a very slow start to this one ....

Remember the subject can be any 'Generations' ...

Maybe you have a modern building next to an historic one, or a snap of you and 'gramps' ....... a 'young' tree growing in an old forest .....

Don't forget ... there a 2gb memory card up for grabs ....

PS Somewhere I have a big grinning shot of William Shatner (aka Capt. James T. Kirk) at a press conference for a new telephone service he was launching at a trade show I was reporting on back in around 1989. He could turn that smile on like a light with a switch.

Hello
