A female mallard who wouldn't leave us alone as we tried doing some wildlife photography at Leighton Moss.

These cranes just happened to be between me and the sun. I love the combination of the light, the sky, the silhouettes and the reflections on the water.

I have no idea who Jenny Brown was or why she has a point named after her. Mostly I just liked the light.
Oh, and on an unrelated note, I'm finally up-to-date with these posts! Let joy be unconfined.

There's not enough words to describe how beautiful I find the Yorkshire Dales (okay, I'm a Lancashire man, so that's almost treason, but we'll gloss over that).
They're so desolate and yet full of life, scruffy and yet elegant. Just when you think there's nothing bug scrubby long grass and mossy hillocks all around you you find something like this, which is about as close to idyllic as you can get.
Urgent Ubuntu security notice

This will only apply to Ubuntu users (server or desktop). Anyone who's not one can probably look away now.
An urgent Ubuntu Security Notice, USN-612-1, has just been put out. The full notice is here.
An extract of the salient details:
A weakness has been discovered in the random number generator used by OpenSSL on Debian and Ubuntu systems. As a result of this weakness, certain encryption keys are much more common than they should be, such that an attacker could guess the key through a brute-force attack given minimal knowledge of the system. This particularly affects the use of encryption keys in OpenSSH, OpenVPN and SSL certificates.
So, update and upgrade your systems now and regenerate your key pairs.
