Mundane Thread Photographic Edition

Giant sunflower with bee.

[Sits]

How giant?

[Balderdasha]

I'd say it's at least nine to ten feet tall (I do height in feet compared to humans rather than metres). It looms over our back garden fence.

[Balderdasha]

I have photos of it with my children for comparison height but I don't put photos of my kids on the internet so you'll have to just imagine it.

[Balderdasha]

I can try and get a photo later today with just the fence for comparison. If I remember, like.

[Guy Profumo]

For me,it's the Post Office tower as well, but it has Noel Edmunds at the top of it on Christmas morning.

Wasn't he usually sent to make a truly dreadful Christmas for kids confined to hospital even worse by bowling up and pestering them on the wards?

No pressure!

No pressure!

I quite like having a mini mission for a lunchtime walk. Here's the sunflower in all its glory. The fence is about six foot high.

Impressive!

Crikey, that's a gorgeous picture! The tree looks incredibly architectural, like it's a pillar holding up the roof in some giant modernist glasshouse. Stunning.


Our change kit is green-and-brown, in fact in almost those exact tones – here's the current trio that I designed a handful of seasons ago:

Though I've often thought about switching the home kit to green, since I occasionally fancy a break from our regular sky-blue-and-white – which was itself inspired by the Dersingham coat of arms, as seen on the village sign, and part of which I nicked to include on the upper part of our club badge as seen below.

The last couple of seasons however I simply left the second strip in place and swapped the main strip to the 'third kit' from the trio above, like so:

It's certainly an awesome tree, I've no idea what it is mind, there were a line of them in the more ordered part of Sandringham - I much prefer the estate's wilder outer edges where it borders on Dersingham. Is your connection with Dersingham itself? I think I remember you having an afiliation to Kings Lynn. My mother in law's house backs on to The Pastures, where Dersingham Rovers play. Aside from the distance from Manchester it's a pretty fabulous place to have in laws.

Last one from Norfolk, the mud flats at Snettisham.

Godwit? Dunlin? I’m not very good at waders. Lovely photo.

Neither am I but nearest the camera is an oyster catcher, which is of course a lot easier to identify when it's not in silhouette. The rest are black headed gulls.

Had an afternoon walk on the Pembs Coast Path between Fishguard and Strumble Head yesterday. Surprisingly quiet for a Bank Holiday: think I saw about 4 other ramblers in 3 hours.

Saw some grey seal mums and pups basking in an inaccessible cove. Taken with my “vintage” iPhone SE so not great pics…

Michaelmas daisy with leaf bug.

[Balderdasha]

Bit tricky to get a photo in focus using a camera phone and when I currently have hand tremours.

At the bottom of our street, to be burned next Sunday:

[ursus arctos]

Do they represent identifiable "celebrities" or are they more generic?

[San Bernardhinault]

They are sufficiently terrifying that I would burn them.

[San Bernardhinault]

Bloke up on a crane in what’s left of our monster tree, starting to take it down before it falls on our house or the neighbours…

[San Bernardhinault]

The same bloke dangling in mid air with a giant lump of tree swinging about next to him (and the power lines) without a care in the world.

[ursus arctos]

No thank you

[Toby Gymshorts]

I'd have a crack at that.

But then I am (at least according to TLMG) famously blasé about personal danger.
