  • Captured Ice

    Captured Ice

    Here’s a small scene, just some ice and snow held in place in the crook of a tiny red twig.

  • 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.

  • The Balloon

    The Balloon

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

  • The Adventures of Squirrel & Mouse

    The Adventures of Squirrel & Mouse

    Poor old Mouse wasn’t very good at climbing trees, so nimble Squirrel did her best to help.

  • The Kingfisher on the Wall

    The Kingfisher on the Wall

    Here’s a beautiful mural found on a wall by the canal in Oxford.

  • Lamp Posts

    Lamp Posts

    Ok, so lamp posts are often overlooked, mainly because they’re dull. Essential, sure. But dull. However, I quite liked this clutch of street lamps hanging around on the corner in Valletta. There’s something almost floral about them.

  • The Funnel

    The Funnel

    Here’s a steam train funnel… I’ll give you 10 points if you can tell me which heritage railway line this photo was taken on (note that it was taken six years ago, and the engine has moved since then), and 1,000 points if you can name the engine itself (or give me it’s unique number).

  • Tap Tap

    Tap Tap

    Try as hard as you can, and you might just find this tap in Brixham, Devon. I’m not going to tell you where though… I did say this month was going to be random.

  • Victoria’s Golden Lion

    Victoria’s Golden Lion

    This rather impressive looking lion sits, along with a few brothers, on the outside of Queen Victoria’s royal train carriage.
