I use a super soaker squirt gun on it when it shows its ugly head in the garden It soon gets the message its not welcome when it gets 25psi up its ar*e!

Reminds me of one of the last few episodes of Red Dwarf in the over-sized nano-bot rebuilt Red Dwarf ship and they fly up a rat's ar*e with Starbug....

Just an opportunist snap, but i like it anyway.

Unfortunately it would have been better taken with a macro lens, but as I don't have one, it had to be the 500mm lens.

High Force in Teesdale down in the North Pennines. The size of the waterfall can be judged from the people standing around on the rocks at the top of the falls.

There are historic photos of the falls running both sides of the big rock in the middle, but its unlikely to happen again - there is a reservoir a couple of miles up stream

Red Australian Bottle Brush Plant to everyone else, 2nd year of flowering, very odd plant but the leaves smell of lemon when crushed between your fingers and the seeds smell of eucalyptus oil.
