  Maybe the sign should say Warning Fog Ahead!   :rolleyes:

If we do the math there is an average of 8 deaths per day. So that sign should read 3082 (rounded up actual number was 3081.8) for December 31st.

Tonight's moon from my backyard. It is supposed to be 94% visible according to an App I have on my phone. Looks pretty full to me though. Tomorrow is supposed to be the real full moon. Hopefully the weather is clear and I can grab another picture tomorrow.

Some wildlife from the UK over the years. I'm not very good with the high zoom manual focus. Seems I am mostly interested by birds and insects. How do I resize them for the forum?

Nice wildlife!

For resizing I have used the free Image Resizer by Codeplex, https://imageresizer.codeplex.com/. It has gained a very good reputation. If it looks familiar, it's because it's a remake of the good old Microsoft's Image Resizer Powertoy for Windows XP.

There is a beautiful rose on our rose bush out front so I had to snap a picture. It is a little under exposed so you can see the detail in the flower.
