The Maer, Exmouth, Devon
Situated near the seafront, the Maer Local Nature Reserve is perfect for a quiet walk away from the busy beaches and town. It is home to an abundance of wildlife, including the odd dinosaur apparently.

Watch yourself near those -they pack a hefty bite! It looks quite realistic from here. Very nice indeed.

Take care and thanks for sharing with our UK Landscape Photography Group , Herb

Ha, ha, thanks for the warning Herb..........but I think this one is a Herbivore, so you're probably in more danger than me :-)))

Glad you like the shot my friend.......enjoy the rest of your day and have a good weekend.

Welcome back Keith!
A beautiful place to have a quiet walk ( the dinosaur looks almost friendly) and a finely composed picture , with a path and a lovely solitary tree and a dreamy sky.

A wonderful tree, the dinosaur does seem a bit strange for a nature reserve
5 months ago.
Keith Burton club has replied to Peter Castell club
Thanks very much Peter. The dinosaur (of which there are lots in Exmouth) is representative of the start of the Jurassic Coast.

It's a nice place to sit and watch the world to by.........but can get extremely busy in the summer months. Glad you like the photo Eunice and thanks for dropping in.

You'd be safe with this dinosaur.........it's a herbivore (unless it stood on you) :-)))

I'm not sure to be honest Colin.........I think they must be a bit smaller than life size, comparing it to the tree.
