You are both right and wrong, Maggi ... the first shot was converted to greyscale, the others are as they were taken ...

Awesome. Your grey day brightened up mine. My ultimate ambition, well third after the Galapagos and Papua New Guinea, is to see the big Garretts on the Zimbabwean railways.

How could we afford tripe if we had to buy presents EVERY year, David?

Hello, for those who might not know me I am Rafael Díez Domínguez from Spain. I live in Segovia province and I am artistic painter. I paint oil landscapes and watercolors of plants and animals.
My interests as a gardener is to allow to promote our most important flora for conservation purposes. I am specially interested in bulbs and perenial herbs like Erdoium, Aconitum,....

In the picture my wife Delphine and I collecting Narcissus seeds in Sierra de Malagón, Ávila, Spain.

Rafa,
Welcome to the forum  ;D ;D
I didn't realize you were an artistic painter.  Would it be much trouble to put pix of some of your work on the the Forum ???
I'm sure a lot of us would be interested.  ;)
