Some Trips Out

I haven't used my camera in a while. I keep forgetting to take it out, perhaps I'm subconsciously used to having a massive delay before the flash goes off and so not being able to capture the action I'd like. Still I've managed to take some reasonably decent photos with it so maybe I should be more forgiving.

I can't quite remember where I took this but I love these plants, they're fantastically weird, I think they could pass for the next Doctor Who villain or something.











Near where I live there is a farm park, which hosts a fairly impressive collection of animals these days including peacocks...










Highland cattle...










And the advantage to being local is you can walk around the perimeter and sometimes be greeted by the odd curious Ostrich!










The place also hosts what is quite possible the creepiest fairground ride ever!










That's it for now - I'll dig some more stuff out of the random cupboard soon.
