Month: November 2021

  • Water. Still.

    Water. Still.

    One of the advantages of modern camera technology is the super fast shutter speeds. This allows a photographer to freeze the world, capturing a single point in time forever.

  • Great White

    Great White

    Still something of an unusual sight here in the U.K., this great white egret was stalking for fish along the local, flooded river.

  • Pink, Black, and White

    Pink, Black, and White

    Here’s a swan swimming on one of the local rivers, the water catching a reflection of the pink, wintry sun. I like the way the ripples seem to spread out like wings.

  • The Balloon

    The Balloon

    Not often, but occasionally we get low flying hot air balloons around here.

  • The Yellow Leaf

    The Yellow Leaf

    As Autumn takes a turn towards Winter, there are plenty of fallen leaves on the ground around here.

  • Fluff on a Stick

    Fluff on a Stick

    You see a lot of this sort of thing around here…

  • To The Point

    To The Point

    Here’s a very close shot of a horse chestnut seed casing. Look at the size of that spike!

  • Here’s Looking At You

    Here’s Looking At You

  • The Ivy Tree

    The Ivy Tree
