Of course this is an unofficial meet ;)

25th April at Hillsborough walled garden.

Shall we say 2pm?
Perhaps wonder down into the park too?

I'll bring me extension tube and nail something down to practice this focus stacking on - a frog maybe - or a stray kitten... :evil:

Sounds good. I'll come if I can make it!

Sorry, already committed to a barbie on this day :(

And such a bunch of nice walls, Hemlock!! :D

sorry I'm pretty new to the area, where's the walled garden in Hillsborough?

Apparently it's in Hillsboro Park see Google maps (http://maps.google.co.uk/maps?f=q&source=s_q&hl=en&geocode=&q=S6+4HD&sll=53.800651,-4.064941&sspn=14.149238,29.047852&ie=UTF8&ll=53.40792,-1.50444&spn=0.006958,0.014184&z=16&iwloc=A).

There's mention of it on the Sheffield City Council website too - here (http://www.sheffield.gov.uk/out--about/parks-woodlands--countryside/parks/a-z-city-district--local--parks/hillsborough-park/hillsborough-walled-garden).

Would love to come along (work and wife permitting) if that's ok with you lot.

Dave..

Of course everyone is welcome...come along. Those of you that haven't been to a meet, why not? :suspect: :hihi:

Ooops I forgot to look at the time and went down this morning thinking the meets were still at 11.00 :mad: :blush:

@hockeybear - *doh* ! :D
Meets are whenever someone wants to arrange one! ;)

Imp - I got a couple of Bee shots I'm pleased with, took a while but worth it IMO :)
I'd stick a link in here once I've put some online somewhere.

I'm pleased you got some in the end, you put enough effort into the task!

I got some nice peely paint and fountains, and some of the squirrel shots were OK tho not as good as my previous squiggs. :( I'll post a few in due course.

hope you guys had a good time, wish i could have gone, but that's life!

Good photo,s Laddo your animal pictures improve each time you show some

Looks good Laddo purple flower looks like an Alium just coming out.

Here's some of mine from yesterday at Hillsboro. I managed to grab a few shots of the park before I fell, once more, under the spell of the squiggs!

That squig on the table seems to be having an identity crisis - it was flashing its nipples as well as its nuts!!! :hihi:

Nice shots of the squiggel Imp, in particular the next to last......"I got one, now quick, scarpa!"

I missed this however i was there later on beleive it or not and over the last few weeks been getting some good pics from there! great palce to get robin shots, I usually have squirrels feeding from my hands, other are quite shy though!

If you are there early enough and the sun is out watch out for the heron that basks in the morning light. I am yet to gt a good image of the bird.

Sorry I missed this one, but I was otherwise engaged with a prior engagement. Looks like I missed some great walls, doors & peeling paint:(

For the last few years there has been a breeding pair in the park,but this year they have not returned and there is a younger heron there at the moment.
