The weeds have really taken off this past couple of weeks. I spent about an hour spraying awkward ones which grow in tiny gaps in paving and concrete.Midmarsh Johnhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10980417659811194899noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8626959970978663576.post-14413420903668366812009-03-24T23:52:00.000+00:002009-03-24T23:52:00.000+00:00Fascinating post John and very interesting pond ph...Fascinating post John and very interesting pond photos, as Tricia said remarkably clear.<BR/>I loved the catkin photo and your Grape Hyacinths are looking good, I took a photo of mine recently only to find there were a lot of weeds showing amongst them. So photo no good and a spot of weeding to be done!<BR/>I have heard before how much time Blue Tits spend dithering whilst 'home making', I'm pretty good at dithering myself!!ShySongbirdhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08148381873578585910noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8626959970978663576.post-22126562477260079582009-03-24T19:55:00.000+00:002009-03-24T19:55:00.000+00:00Mick: Thanks for visiting.

I nearly added a comment about he wanting the furnishing from Homebase and she from Ikea but I though better of it :>)<BR/><BR/>Tricia: No polarizing filter, just the usual UV. Low angle for the spawn and virtually vertical for the fish. Luck really!<BR/>I love the Corkscrew Hazel too. This year I gave it more breathing space by removing other plants which were choking its light so it should come on a treat now.<BR/><BR/>I have a feeling that much of the spawn is not viable by the amount which has white dots but only time will tell but at least they came.Midmarsh Johnhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10980417659811194899noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8626959970978663576.post-88878956817486854962009-03-24T19:24:00.000+00:002009-03-24T19:24:00.000+00:00Frogspawn at last!

Did you use a polarizing filter?<BR/><BR/>Lovely picture of the corkscrew hazel - lovely tree in my view!Tricia Ryderhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05010432313312804286noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8626959970978663576.post-58582397330977028472009-03-24T18:56:00.000+00:002009-03-24T18:56:00.000+00:00That blue tit sounds like a housewife that can't m...That blue tit sounds like a housewife that can't make up her mind on the decorating :-) Great photos of the small creatures in the pond.
