Hi - this is my first entry on the forum and I would like to thank everyone for their comments on my pictures.  I'm 58 and work as a Marketing Assistant.  I enjoy photography and, although I like to go on holiday to other countries, I love to come back to Good Old Blighty - you can't beat the English countryside.......when the weather's good of course!

Lyn, Gilbert White was a Clergyman and Naturalist in the 18th century who wrote, what I believe to be a famous book, entitled "The Natural History of Selborne."  There's a stained glass window in the church in Selborne showing St Francis of Assis with all the birds mentioned in the book.  I've got a picture of it somewhere.

Once again, thank you to everybody who's commented - I enjoy looking around this site, there are some stunning scenes! Smile

Hi Ruth, Welcome from me also, I haven't had a chance to look at your pictures yet but will do so now. I agree with you about England, there is no place quite like home.
