A little bit off the wall, but what can you see?
After a delivery of wood today, (there’s a pattern following in some of these advent posts!) reminded me of some shots I took where I kept spotting faces. This often happens to me where a completely random face or figure turns up in some form of nature.
My partner, could also see other things in the abstract shapes created by the wood, so I’m interested in what other people can see?

Having just baked a cake today, reminded me of some shots I took while sharing time with family and friends. One of them had made the most beautiful chocolate cake… so with fresh pots of tea and coffee to accompany, the cake was devoured. But the most important thing was the great time being shared with people you are close to and so relevant with Christmas round the corner.
I would like to wish that for all of you this time next week… whatever your tiple on the day!
Mans best friend… Bert and Barney, out on the common – two much loved English Springers, once part of our family and happily remembered for the great characters they were.
In contrast to the very damp (festive?) weather we currently have, thought I’d share some early morning shots (and a big splash of colour!) I took earlier in the year of poppies, at their best in my garden. Was playing with a very shallow depth of field and really like the little droplets of water in focus on the petals.
Spot the bee in each image, hovering close by.
This time of year there are lots of pantomimes on at the moment and while I don’t have any images of panto, found some photographs I took of a local childrens theatre group performing ‘Oliver Twist’.
These kids were just brilliant and it was a pleasure to be involved with the production.
Can anyone who can list the characters they are playing?
A friend of mine was ‘Zookeeper for a day’ at Whipsnade this autumn and I wanted to share a couple of the shots from that day.
The chimp just didn’t give a damn… and I loved the elephants out for their walk… heading for a ‘no entry’ sign!
Todays images are remembering two very special people.
Just like butterflies, they were beautiful and much loved by all who knew them.
Butterflies always visit the Buddleia flowers when in bloom in my garden. They move so quickly, you have to be very patient to capture them, but it’s fun and rewarding when you get a really good image… so I’ll keep trying!
With this weekends excitement regarding the eclipse, I dug out a couple of early efforts to capture our big cheese. There are lots of technical improvements and ‘know how’, that I have yet to learn! But you can at least see what the first one is and the second is just spooky… which I quite liked!
