Theme is : In This Weather

'Beachy Head lighthouse' by Helen Elliott of Eastbourne u3a
In this weather you can see a ghostly image and it almost looks like a face. It was sunny when I went up to the South Downs, but the mist rolled over after I arrived.

'Cheers' by John Owens of Worcester Area u3a
In this weather what more pleasant way is there to spend a sunny summer’s evening, than relaxing in a pub garden enjoying a refreshing cool drink?

'Shadows' by Angela Reid of Balsall Common u3a
In this weather enjoying seeing the shadows my patio chairs make, on a sunny afternoon.

'Bird Bath' by Malcolm Emmett of Windsor u3a
In this weather a repurposed paella pan makes a good bird ‘Bath ’ especially when these three Blackbird siblings decided they all wanted a drink.

'Pond ice' by Peter Ive of Edenbridge u3a
Pond Ice formations with an HDR treatment or the surface of Saturn's moon Titan?

'Catching the Sunset' by Angela Owen of Worcester Area u3a
I’m pleasantly occupied in this weather - using my camera to catch the sunset. A delightful summer evening at the beach – relaxing, playing, creating and finally catching the sun in alignment with this evocative ironwork motif

'Sunbathing pigs' by Bob Douglas of Edinburgh u3a
In April we had a series of warm sunny days and little rain. These pigs appear to be enjoying the sunshine as they are stretched out on a dried out paddock. |

'Plants' by Janet Rutter of Devizes & District u3a
After all the frost and rain we had for May, now Summer has arrived we need to water our plants again!

'The frozen hedge' by Karen Coates of Solihull Central u3a
I spotted these amazing icicles left on the hedge after cars had splashed in the puddles at the edge of the road. Like a scene from ‘Frozen’ I couldn’t ‘let it go’ without a snapshot!

'Hot Chicks' by Mike Taylor of Dundee u3a
I spotted these hot chicks while walking by Loch Lee a couple of weeks ago. It was a really sunny day and the chicks looked like they were gasping for air, you can imagine the conversation in the nest: “Whew, I’m baking in this weather.” “Yeah, me too, in this weather I wish mum had put a roof on the nest.”

'Sunset at Old Hunstanton' by Lynne Staines of Plymouth u3a
The sheer beauty of the evening sun on the sea and sand inspired me to take this photo from my hotel bedroom window.

'Parched earth' by Marion Clark of Newquay u3a
April 2020 was the driest Spring for years. An abstract photograph of dry, cracked earth.

'Sunny and hot' by Mike Sharp of Melbourne Area Derby u3a
Even blackbirds like sunbathing "in this weather". I spotted this female blackbird in my garden, with the sun glinting in her eye, soaking up the rays from above and nestled into the warmth of the gravel below her.

'Just Chillin' by Ian Weatherley of Witham & District (Essex) u3a
We came across these delightful sun worshippers during our recent visit to a local 'Open Gardens Festival'. The weather was fantastic and this picture will provide a constant reminder of a wonderfully enjoyable day out.

Going out? by Dianne Murray of East Lothian u3a
I saw this interesting arrangement at the foot of our stairs and rushed to take a photograph since I thought it exemplified so well the summer weather we are now having after all that rain and wind.
