Me too. You wouldn't want to get close and take a big sniff of Calvins..

Both great shots though.

Right !

Who started part four and didnt tell me ?

I bin sitting watching the end of part three for ages now.

Oh well.....

Not been taking any shots, I bin poorly again, bronchitis twice in 2 months. On the plus side, the lodger moved out and I got my office back, so I can do more PC repairs etc now.

Some really cracking shots chaps, nice scorpion fly in a recent one Simon, well spotted.

Best to all,
