"Beside the lake, beneath the trees, fluttering and dancing in the breeze" - indeed. Lovely shot today thanks Tony - have loved seeing all the daffodils recently. Gwen, south coast NSW

Nicely put. Regards.

Useful information. Lucky me I discovered your web site by chance, and I am surprised why this twist of fate didn't took place in advance! I bookmarked it.

Hi Tony. A literary remark fits perfectly here. Please give the old genteman a wee tickle under his chin? He deserves it. Best regards from Lydia (NL)

Your "forestry ops" photo today reminds me of a similar one last week, which delighted my 2 year old grandson. He burst into fits of laughter, and said, "a MOUTH!" Look at it carefully, while thinking of a hippo's wide open mouth --- you'll see it. Christine [Girton, Cambridge.]

"A friend is the one that knows you as you are, understands where you have been, accepts what you have become, and still, gently allows you to grow." — Shakespeare? I think not. But your photographs more than compensate for an occasional misattribution.
On the other hand, I think you must accept full responsibility for the fact that we're planning another walking holiday in The Lakes. ("Just one more…" as we've said before.) While our legs will carry us, how can we resist the call of the visual delights that you and Sir Ben dangle before us daily before us when we sit down to our morning coffee half a world away? Thank you, you naughty man!

Have just paid the balance for two weeks in Elterwater. Can't wait to see the beauty of the Lake District again! Thank you for your daily pictures to stave off our withdrawal symptoms: they are really great!!!

SPRING! Finally. Thanks Tony. Happy photos. Lovely. It's great here also. Minus the fab landscapes. We are flat with dykes. But here too the first fat bumblebee queen flew out to find a new hole for her new drones. Beatrice Bumblebee will have many offspring and I will have flowers on the balcony and organic lavender in organic soil. Not cheap but much better for the birds and insects and us... when the strawberrie makes fruit again. Happy weekend you all.

Happy Easter everybody!

Thanks for the lovely photos of Grasmere and Helm Crag. This is a favourite place of ours and we are looking forward to our visit next week
