How about allowing photos?

Tiny crested newt (I think)?

I love the toad.
We have a lilypad pool in the garden for birds. Passing dogs drink from it, birds bath in it, and today I saw a long tailed lizard draped over about to have a drink. As I went for the camera DH shouted "it's fallen in" and we both rushed to rescue it. They can obviously swim as she/he had disappeared quickly.
For the first time ever I have seen a lot of baby lizards around, only about two inches long including the tail.

Tasty looking or what?

Late summer brings with it some beautiful colours...

Before I close down and do something awfully tiresome, like housework, here is last night's Kintyre sunset.

Beautiful pic. soop.

I trust that GNHQ won't ban me for cluttering the forum.

Yes...thank you finocchio I shall be a frequent visitor.

It is a lovely forum, very uplifting, both this one and the poems. Thank you finocchio for asking for it.

I like this forum. It is uplifting.

I wish I was there soop!

Am I free to add just one more, please?

Hello there dear peeps. I shall include a beautiful Kintyre sunset.

Try again.

Where did it go?

Red kite watching me eat lunch outside today. Sorry, I will stop now, getting too enthusiastic, but it is a great idea for a picture thread!

I can see this thread being really popular. Why haven't we done it before?

Just what I was thinking, poppy!

Great to see all the photos.

Nice to see the cat keeping an eye on things

Next door garden.

Love the stand-off, Shysal! How fantastic to have badgers visiting.

My back garden.

Poppikok, GS1 is fascinated by herons, lovely picture.
Thanks GNHQ for setting this up.

Those poppies are so Monet, fin. Lovely sight. And that's a terrific picture of the heron, Poppi.

Love the poppies, finocchio. Has anyone seen a field of cornflowers lately?
