Minerva’s Owls – Summer 2018
If you’ve been in Bath this month, no doubt you’ve spotted one of Minerva’s Owls in various locations. I’ve challenged a family member to see who can spot the most of these owls this summer!

Minerva’s Owls – Summer 2018
Checking the MetCheck Red Arrows flight times, it looked like Bath might get a fly-over from the Red Arrows as they headed to their display at Weston-Super-Mare. And they didn’t disappoint!

I was lucky enough to catch them as their smoke started – once they’d flown over Charlcombe, the smoke was off again.
The 2018 Bath Festival of Motoring was held over Father’s Day weekend (16th & 17th June).








The pop-up garden in Walcot Street is looking great – it was quite challenging to find a time to get a photograph when nobody was there!

And speaking of trying to get photos while nobody was there, that’s almost impossible for Wisteria Walk in SouthGate!

Following on from the bicycles and umbrellas suspended above a pedestrian street in SouthGate, we currently have Wisteria Walk. So far it looks like it provides a good amount of shade, as well as being popular for photographs!

The work has already started on what is expected to be the new Metro Bank (taking over part of the building M&S have), but this seagull decided that the hoarding was a suitable look-out point.

And yet more trees – although I admit they would have looked even better if it was blue sky behind them, rather than grey clouds!


Not the easiest of scenes to photograph without people and vehicles – maybe I need to be in Queen Square at a quieter point in the day?

At first you might think there’s nothing unusual about this photo, but then you realise that the “TR Hayes” writing is actually a shadow cast onto the settee, by the sign on the window pane!
