The new factory for the wooden pallets see the last post on this here ...
as above...
I am glad that the cladding is dark so hopefully when all is finished it will not look as bad as I expected!
Rose no 2 but it looks like it will be gone by tomorrow!!
P.S. For those interested, Part 5 of our holiday in South Africa and Botswana is now on my other blog.
So lovely to see your post, Diane, and as always, you made my day! I especially loved seeing the birds bathing. :)
ReplyDeleteThey love a splash around but I missed most of it as the camera was upstairs when I noticed them. Take care Linda. Diane
DeleteBathing birds are the absolutely cutest things!!!!!!!!! Wet, 'spiky' feathers, are sooo cute. ,-)))))
ReplyDeleteThis factory will make/produce wooden pallets, yes?
The birds are very cute
DeleteYes it is a factory to make wooden pallets. Industrial buildings really look out of place here, but it at least is well out of the town. It looked like being a real eye sore but the dark cladding helps to tone it down a bit.
Keep well Diane
Beautiful photos. Love the little birds in the bath esoecially! The rose is such a pretty colour.
ReplyDeleteThe birds are so cute but not always easy to photograph as they are very nervous. Hope you are well Diane
DeleteI never get my camera soon enough to photograph birds/squirrels/butterflies. My bad. :(
ReplyDeleteYour photos are always so nice to see.
xoxo
Thanks Sally, I never have to look too far in the garden for insects the birds are not always so easy. Take care Diane
DeleteThere's some interesting light and shadow in your insect photos today. Lovely.
ReplyDeleteThanks for the kind comment. Have a good day, cheers Diane
DeleteI just love your photos. HAHA....love looks like it is in the air for sure.
ReplyDeleteI first for me with butterflies and a photo :-) Keep well Diane
DeleteLooks like nice sunshine in your area! Lovely Rose! Such a sweet color!
ReplyDeleteHave a good day!
The weather is not too bad but still wearing a jersey. Anything under 22C (71F) especially if there is a wind is cold for me!!! Keep well Diane
DeleteAnd we had frost on the ground and plants this morning. All different views for us.
ReplyDeleteRather you than me. I will never get used to the cold but it will happen here soon I am sure :-( Cheers Diane
DeleteGreat photos of birds bathing. They are not easy to photograph. The rose is still beautiful!
ReplyDeleteThanks Nancy, My very special rose. Keep well, Diane
DeleteHi Diane. Lovely photos again. You have so many butterflies come to your garden. All the rain we have had seems to have caused the bugs and butterflies to have disappeared from my garden unfortunately. KIM
ReplyDeleteI am not surprised Kim that all you insects have vanished. Your weather at present is not good for man, beast or insect. Hope it improves very soon and that your weekend is a little better. Take car and stay safe Diane
DeleteTruly, industrial buildings do look out of place among the old architecture. Nice to still be seeing butterflies.
ReplyDeleteI could not agree more but I guess they have to happen and it is out of town. The dark cladding certainly will help to tone them down. Diane
