    Do you have them in the UK? 

    I had to Google it - I'd never heard of a "Wanderer" but I see they are known as "Monarchs" in the USA & Europe.  

    I had heard of "Monarchs" but I've never seen one.  Apparently we do get them in the UK but they are very rare.

  2. Some archive photos that I don't think I've posted here before...
    An abandoned church near Ridgmont in Bedfordshire:

    There was once a settlement around the church, Segenhoe, until it was gradually abandoned in the 14th century and Ridgmont became the main village in the area. Segenhoe Church continued to serve the village of Ridgmont, Bedfordshire, until 1855 when a new church was built in the High Street.

    The old church now stands almost isolated 600m south-east of the village. It continued to be used as a mortuary chapel as the new church did not have a burial ground, but in 1972 it was ruined.

    In 1982 it was bought by the County Council who began clearance and preservation work. Its name suggests it was probably created some time after the Norman Conquest of 1066.

  3. There's only a small number of images to choose from this week, so I'll dispense with any "honourable mentions".

    My choice for this week is Lizard Point Lifeboat Station by Matt Grey:

    I love Cornwall, but live around 300 miles away, so I'm always pleased to see an iconic Cornish scene like this one.

    Well done Matt!

  4. It's my turn to select the POTW again.  

    Honourable mentions to Paul for With her eggs and CMunzel for Crusader Bug - both excellent close-up shots of "creepy Crawlies".

    But my choice of POTW is UFO by CMunzel:
    UFO Botanical Gardens sml.jpg

    I found this interesting as the main subject is very dull compared to the petals it's resting on.
    I'd normally expect a competition judge to say that the flower was a distraction because of that, but in this case, I think it works.  An Unidentified Fluttering Object perhaps?

    Well done Cheryl!

  5. My turn for POTW again...  A small but select bunch to choose from this week.

    Honourable mentions to:

    Clicker for Delicate with a cast iron constitution - the first image of the real snowdrops
    and
    CMunzel for Bless This House

    But my choice for POTW is Agapanthus Study, also by CMunzel:

    I thought this was very unusual - the shallow focus making it almost like a painting rather than a photograph.

    Well done, Cheryl!
