Welcome to the Weekly Image Thread!

This thread will appear every Saturday (GMT). If the thread is nearing full before the next Saturday, I may start a new thread and carry on until it fills or the next Saturday arrives and it is reasonably full in which case I will start another. Confused, so am I! From time to time the start could be delayed if I am unavailable.

At one time the MacDonald clan ruled an area that reached as far south as the Isle of Man and were known as Lord of the Isles. Their power faded over the years and by the end of the 15th century it was gone.

The castle must have been impressive in it's day Paul. It looks really dramatic in those weather conditions.

You've got to love the Long Tailed Tit, there just so cute.

Thank you Dave. I hope to get out and about a bit more before the heat of summer dries everything out. We look to be doomed to another hot dry year.

Dicky.

Thank you Paul. The Water dragons can get very tame when they frequent cafes.

This one was hanging around our feet when we had lunch. It looks well fed :-D

In Barcaldine Forest looking for images.

A lot of the Autumn colour is now lying on the ground.

In a garden on the edge of the forest was this little guy. Unfortunately there was a river between us and I needed a longer lens. These are cropped quite heavily.

Delighted to see you still have some lovely colour in your garden Andrew.

When you begin posting hockey images I know winter is just around the corner.

I didn't know paddymelons and pademelons existed. Cute! You did good with the light.

Those skies are fantastic! And you caught the lightning too. Well done.

Any sign of the Orionids in Aus? I planned to look for them yesterday as the day was clear with blue sky. The night was not. Clear.

I'm envious of your broadleafs. Here they are almost made extinct by the conifer plantations the gov calls forests.

The two lasts are very cute!

Great to see your grandson and all the rest of the kids, Andrew. I like that local businesses help support by putting ads around the ice. In the last hockey shot it looks like he (is that your grandson?, I need to remember his number, if you tell me) is shooting behind the goalie. I like the flowers, too. Looks like a color theme. Is the last one poisonous like poison oak? Rich

Thanks, Charlotte. A marine layer is a layer of dense clouds laying on the water. It often comes on land as fog.

This looking down on Eureka and Humboldt Bay from Kneeland Mountain. The ocean starts about half way out.

The marine layer in early afternoon, standing at the beach waiting for the land to cool so it can come on the land. Rich

Rich Z · Oct 20, 2025

Thanks, Pete. You are right, it is a privilege, and I find it new and fresh each time. Rich

Rich Z · Oct 20, 2025

Thank you, Dave. I don't get sunsets when the sun sets late. Now that it's getting earlier I hope to get more. Rich

Rich Z · Oct 20, 2025

Thanks, Dicky. I had fun shooting these. I am holding up fairly well. I hope you and The Boss are well, too. Rich

Rich Z · Oct 20, 2025

Thanks, Paul. Me, too. Rich

Great set Dave love the first photo and the red Squirrels such lovely little creatures

Thanks Dicky!

The back issues are increasingly inserting themselves into what I can and can not do. Some days, not much, other days border line I could walk perhaps a km on fairly level ground. This part is recent, last three weeks. Before that I could do most things as long as I was reasonable about it considering the likely outcome if I was not. Now, it is wake up in the morning and it is a crap shoot as to how my day will go. There is surgery but I need to get a referral to someone good first! That may be difficult. At the moment it would appear the only holiday I could book is one where you park yourself and enjoy the view and not one where you go exploring. Not my cup of tea but ....

Yes DPR is experiencing issues. I suspect they are making changes related to the switch to the Xen Foro bulletin board software, non threaded and likely annoying beyond belief but with 'clever new features'. I may bail, but I will wait and see.

Thanks Pete.

We don't have a lot so any I post now will be variations of the same plants. A village resident here used to be the gardener for Castle Loma in Toronto, a large publicly maintained heritage building which I have never been to. He still has some varieties of 'fading' flowers in his garden.
