How does a nettle sting?..

These bristles are like hyperdermic syringes. At the base of them is a sac of chemicals, including formic acid, which is injected into the skin on contact. between the large bristles is a forest of smaller ones. Now you have to admit, that's quite an armoury..

It was wet this morning, and the forecast was for rain clearing, followed by slow moving thunderstorms. So today I set too properly on creating the calendar for the camera club. We've decided on an A3 format, and had selected 14 shots for it (a front cover, 12 months, and back cover. Only used 13 altogether, didn't need the back cover. Biggest problem is our broadband speed, it takes ages to upload a picture. Just need to put in sponsorship details, and it's done. It did take me until 4'o'clock to do it.

Then went for a walk over the croft with Tanni. Nice to see the wild flowers growing..

Still waiting for the thunderstorms though!!

Music..

..and you really need to see it LARGE!!..
