Boss photos you've taken

Is it Michael (Johnny Vegas) Pennington?
Know he's a big lover of art, especially his ceramics.

The comedian himself has already posted a video on his official Instagram account. He videoed it before it got going but he's already given himself and some of the other artists away, so I might as well do the same. It's Lee Francis - aka Keith Lemon. He also showed Laurence Llewellyn-Bowen (who he called 'Dave Grohl of the Foo Fighters') lol and Toyah Wilcox

The River Wharfe at Burnsall in North Yorkshire this morning.

I was running in a race and went right up onto the Dales, but with driving rain and thick cloud cover, you couldn‘t really see much to take a photo !

Not sure why but I just love this photo I grabbed today on the way home from the pub.

Took a quick look at the garden fence panels and there were a few chance moments...

First, one of the resident rabbit hutch spiders (Steatoda bipunctata) - these are very reactive to movement - touch the fence panel and they rush back into hiding...

Next an unfortunate sun fly (Helophilus pendulus), which will not see sunrise as the it's captor lurks underneath the captive late night supper - a hungry lace-weaver spider (Amaurobius sp.)...

The lastly the common blow fly (Calliphora vicina (at the imago stage))...

That should be Cape Solander not Salamander
Wasn't paying attention when I typed the words

Named after Daniel Solander - Swedish botanist who sailed with Cook on the Endeavour

Whittle Quarry (Whittle-le-Woods, Chorley) Mini 3 Pro.​

Hidden behind the trees beyond beautiful countryside dwellings (Hello Peter, nice to meet you...) you will find the large quarry at Hill Top Lane in Whittle-le-Woods near Chorley, that was once used to dispose of radioactive waste.

There is a fascinating read of the government documents here ( https://tinyurl.com/2zafpxy6 ) - and Whittle Quarry made the news when local schoolchildren were found trespassing around this dangerous deep water in 2020 - the very place were an unfortunate 13 year child drowned - his mother has been tirelessly campaigning for more safety measures to be put in place around quarries and reservoirs, as well as raising awareness over the dangers of swimming in such locations. As alluring as water can be in summer, these places should be avoided by would-be swimmers.
