...where we had a lovely day with sunshine most of the time.
When we were preparing to cast off it started to pour with rain!!
This is a shot of the town as we sailed away with the storm clouds hovering above.

On Day 137 we visited Talin in Estonia...
Day 136 is the first day of our cruise...
...around the Baltic.
We flew out from Birmingham to Stockholm in the morning.
The plane was two hours late leaving!!!
Our trip around the achepelego was cut very short, and it took us to the cruise ship on a much more direct route.
There was just enough time to eat lunch before we arrived.
Seabourn Sojourn in Stockholm harbour on a wet, miserable, rainy day.
Three shot HDR, hand held and taken from a moving boat.
On Day 135 we had an unwelcome visitor...
...to the garden in the form of a sparrowhawk.
We feed the birds year round and always have lots of small birds feeding.
On Day 134 I spotted this beautiful old MG...
...filling up at the petrol station while I was also filling up my car.
My camera was on the front seat of the car with a 100mm lens on it.
I was too close to get any more of the car in, but liked it as it was.
On Day 133 I wandered around my garden...
...and found this Euphorbia plant that had swelling seed pods.
Added a textured layer to age.
On Day 132 we had to wait for class...
...to start as she was being interviewed by local radio.
I wandered around the garden and found these roses which were a bit overblown.
I added a textured layer and blended it.
On Day 131 we were walking through Chippenham...
...when I saw a stall selling beautifully carved animals and other items. Could only take a quick shot as they weren't keen on me taking picures.
On Day 130 we were in Devizes...
...walking alongside the canal when I spotted this and liked the abstract pattern of the bramble growing behind the old disused metal bracket.
On Day 129 I found this funny number plate...
...FAL 1C in a car park. It was raining, so I had to stand under an umbrella to take the picture.
My daughter thought I was mad and wanted me to explain the significance of the number plate!!!
I Googled it and found out that used to be owned by John Entwistle, rock star from The Who.
Now belongs to his son, Chris.

On Day 127 I was idly watching...
...my daughter and her friend on the playpark swings when I spotted this tree.
I liked how it looked against the sky, so took three raw exposures and combined them in Photomatix to get a hdr image.
On Day 126, I am sitting on the floor at the edge...
...of a field trying to capture the beauty of Poppies in a wheat field.
On Day 125 I have to go shopping in Bristol...
...where I see some Street Art in the centre of the main shopping area.
British Museum - Ancient Egypt.
British Museum - Ancient Egypt., a set on Flickr.
Here are a few more images from out trip.
More will be added to this set as I finish processing them.
