<p> </p><div></div>

<p>Hi All</p>

<p>Great Pics again but my favourite is Lorne's Tiger<br>

My Picture seems to be following the Autumn/ fall theme and is of this lovely stalk of berries growing through some ivy in the botanical gardens on the Isle of Wight </p>

<div></div>

<p>Hi All<br>

Great Pics once again my contribution is from Ventnor gardens on the Isle Of Wight again I loved the way the petals folded over the bud ready to bloom</p><div></div>

<p>Hi All</p>

<p>Lovely pictures once again my top 3 are Tony Hadley's, Daniel Owen's and Robert Davies<br>

Mine is from a trip to the Isle of Wight a couple of weeks ago whilst waiting for the delayed ferry at high tide I spotted this poor old boat that had been pulled so far up the bank it no longer gets to bob in the water!</p>

<div></div>

<p>Hi All</p>

<p>Loving all the pet pics this week just wish mine would stay still long enough to have his photo taken still that's what happens with kittens. Also love Chris Wicks picture of the downs as this is near where I live and brought back memories of school trips trekking across them, My contribution this week is from Ventnor Gardens on the Isle of Wight a beautiful raised bed of Canna Lillies gave me the opportunity to take this picture a lilliputians eye view of the world through these gorgeous leaves </p><div></div>

<p>Hi all<br>

My Contribution this week was taken while waiting for a ferry as usual during the summer months there were some delays so took my camera down to the waters edge and found this seaweed peeping up above the waves almost reaching for the sun.</p>

<p>Have a good week</p>

<div></div>

<p>Hi All<br>

Again a lovely selection this week as there appears to be a lot of water based pics here is my contribution taken a couple of weeks ago from the top of a ferry heading into Portsmouth Harbour. I loved the contrast of the Victorian Fort in the Foreground with the Modern Millenium tower in the background. The forts known as Palmerston's follies were obselete before they were finished and now this one is up for sale as an interesting property for someone who doesn't like neighbours!</p><div></div>

<p>Hi All <br>
