Good point, if I start growing some tea plants now, I'll be able to pick the leaves fresh in a few years time once they've gotten big enough. I should be able to get a good enough harvest by then for a couple of pots!

I'll let you know when it's done and we can enjoy a cuppa and admire it together :) I shan't put the kettle on just yet though...

Sounds like you've got the same management team, you lucky lot you!

We've been 'building' a high speed rail route here in the UK for over a decade now. It'll probably not be finished for another 10 years, isn't going to reach as many cities as first planned, will probably cost as much as m**k is worth by the end, tickets will likeky cost you three legs and you'll no doubt always arrive at your destination late!

I get your point, but don't get too jealous of the idea!!

Throw it at him!

Sign this, donate if you can. But if nothing else, just sign it. It's no miracle solution, but if our voices are never heard, nothing will change they way we'd like it to. One small step that could save lives and suffering in the future.

Friendly lookin face hugger, awww, com'ere!

Exactly my thought on seeing it. It's like the illusion in underwater caves where fresh & saltwater meet, but kinda backwards!

Great shots, I've tried photographing dragonflies in flight (some years ago now) so know how difficult it is! Fantastic creatures too, as you say.

I remember when before every channel didn't have programmes on all day (in the UK, so only four channels at the time). I used to watch nature footage with classical music played over it on BBC2 which was put on as a filler. Loved that. Now it's all repeats and mindless daytime TV crud.
