  • Waves on the Shore

    Waves on the Shore

    Here is a peaceful scene of some waves rushing up to meet the rocks on the shore. I liked the golden colouring in the water.

  • The Snowy Tree

    The Snowy Tree

    A lone tree standing on a cold and snowy hill. Bleak, wintry, and yet somehow strong and waiting for the inevitable burst of life at spring time… which feels so far away.

  • Teasel in the Snow

    Teasel in the Snow

    This month’s theme is liquid (in its many forms), and therefore a snowy teasel is very much on theme (ok, so snow isn’t technically a liquid, but it is a form of water, and water is definitely a liquid… so I’m claiming it).

  • Water on Leaves

    Water on Leaves

    This is a simple composition, just some water droplets on a few long, curled leaves.

  • Snow Starling

    This was taken about 11 years ago, when we had a bit of a snowy spell during December. Here in England we are statistically more likely to have a White Easter than a White Christmas!

  • The Trafalgar Hawk

    The Trafalgar Hawk

  • Colour Changer

Imagine if we could do that? I learned that the way chameleons change their colour is fundamentally different to the way other animals such as…

  • The Grey Dragon

    The Grey Dragon

    Reptiles are fascinating creatures, I mean just look at their skin… covered in scales, the fact that in most cases they don’t / can’t maintain an internal body temperature, and that almost all of them lay eggs (though some snakes do give birth to live young). Fascinating and so different to us. The oldest known…

  • The Date Palm

    The Date Palm

    I seem to have developed a bit of a thing for palm trees this year, this is the fourth of fifth images I’ve posted. This shot was taken in December back in 2016. Over four million tonnes of dates are grown across the planet each year. Who is eating them all??
