The SV Tenacious at Hartlepool

Tenacious was launched in 2000 and is  the largest wooden tall ship to be built in the UK for over 100 years!
I saw her moored at Hartlepool as part of the 2010 Tall Ships races-quite a sight!

Info here: SV Tenacious on facebook  where you can help celebrate her upcomingh 10th birthday, and here Jubilee Sailing Trust

An Alfa at Night

Spotted this lovely car while walking the dog and got off a quick shot with my Blackberry

In the Town

Just a quick grab shot of some people in the town yesterday, taken with the Panasonic.

First flower to open on a Pelargonium which I created by crossing two others.

These Streets

Hot looking Aloe

One of my Aloes began flowering. The stem is a whopper compared to the baseball-sized plant!

Ants!!

Spotted these atop a branch on an apple tree in my garden and got in close with the macro lens, camera on the monopod.
