So even tho it was cold as hell today, there are signs of spring. I took them for ya'll. These daffodils were planted in there by my neighbor to surprise me...

I love watching my bird feeders. The best ones are right outside my bedroom window.

Wherever you plant them they look good!
I have lots of urns... so I plant them in there and they look fantastic!!
I love your bird feeders from your sister too!

I need some of those type of cameras. I wouldn't mind having one inside too. I've been kinda looking for a long time. I want the type that will do still photos too. While I sit watching. Snap. What kind of animal is that? It has the same shape as my rabbit.?
No stills with the Ring camera. It’s marketed as a security camera and does video only. The cool bit is the notification when it detects movement and being able to watch live on your phone or tablet. We didn’t watch much tv last night! ?

The other cool thing is being able to share the videos without having to upload to YouTube. Here’s a link to one of them https://ring.com/share/325bbe84-570f-4402-80a1-b5f6416a0642

The animals filmed were hedgehogs of course ?

To get stills, you need a trail camera. They vary in quality and battery consumption.

No, the pond is the ocean. Brits don't have any sense of geography
Huh? I think we invented geography? The USA exists because Europeans, including Brits, found it on geographic expeditions ? Before that it was geology with native people living on it and not called the USA. ;)

And here’s a great adventure for those needing a little travel adventure coupled with sea turtle & shark research.

Nice little video. Do you use other RING products, like the door bell, or are you using as a stand-alone device? Any hidden (monthly) fees? Nice that it ties right into your home WiFi. ?

Good morning/afternoon all.
It's been a lovely day so far, lots of sun and my garden has warmed up nicely - still a bit chilly out of the sun though.
I've been busy emptying my shed. Luckily one of my nephews has a new house and he has been given first refusal on a lot of the things I'm getting rid of. He is coming to collect a never used workbench, and a barely used gazebo and Swingball set this evening so they've all been dusted off ready for him.
I'll offer some other things on Freecycle and will also do a run to the tip soon.
Then I'll have plenty of room to fill it up with other useless things! :)
I need to be more ruthless!
Hope everyone's having a good Thursday.

I just have the one camera. You can watch the live video free, but if you want to save videos then you have to pay a subscription.

Here in the UK the subscription is £24.99 (~US$ 35) for one device per year or £80 (~US$110) for unlimited device.

Ring is owned by Amazon and in the US there is integration with its delivery service. Not sure how that works.

I wish we could go somewhere. Anywhere! We have to stay very local until at least mid April
