Rock face

This is one of those pictures I tend to gaze all over to study all the variations in the details. I probably don't even know what I am looking for, I'm just unconsciously forced to look into all parts of the picture, possibly trying to justify my interest in it -I don't know!

Maybe part of the appeal is the fairly large variation in the texture of the rock over the picture. Whatever, I like it!

Time to relax

This scene of flowerpot folk relaxing after a day in the garden appealed to me, and having observed it whilst driving past in Scotland I had to return to get a record of it.

I find this scene rather charming.

Windscreen frost growth

It's amazing what a sharp frost will do - the patterns it creates -  just like the roots of a growing tree - and this one is only a detail on a car windscreen.

And the other amazing thing is that nothing gets duplicated - all the parts are in a different pattern! It really is just like something growing before your eyes - can be quite unnerving!

Roadside flowers in brown

The original photo of these roadside flowers was really somewhat uninteresting, but a click on some software transformed it into, what I would consider it to be, a possibly mildly interesting atmospheric picture. Nothing spectacular but quite relaxing, in a somewhat old fashioned way.

Jack frost

I get up one morning - look out of the window - there had been a sharp frost overnight - look at the car - and what do I see on the top of the car? A shaft of sunlight is throwing itself across the car highlighting the results of Jack Frost. Amazing and quite beautiful!

Frosty pattern

Just out of interest, the sun is traversing from top right to bottom left, so the sun hasn't yet had any effect on the bottom left portion of frost, but at the same time the sun is about to leave the top right where Jack Frost has started to warm up sufficiently to start melting - this can just been seen.

Ready to go Sir!

The hounds, at The Hunt, are waiting to get going

Hound discipline

And they look prepared, not panicking, and not impatience, just waiting.

Bird remains

One day fancied takiing a photo of feathers. First thing next morning I looked outside to find a pile of feathers on the drive. Not being a witch, I put this occurance down to chance, but the pile was a lot more than shown here. This is just a small portion of them, just to show the variety there.

Depressingly, this showed that there had been a fight during the previous twelve hours that had resulted in the demise of at least one bird, possibly more. Nature can be so cruel at times!

Beach runner

This photo was taken on a beach in Sydney, of a runner moving on the wet sand.

Lonely beach runner

It was just chance that I caught him in a position where he was obviously running, with his footprints obviously in the wet sand behind him. Why he was running can only be guessed at, but I thought the picture was delightful, though shrouded in mystery.

What did you say?

Horses can have such piercing eyes, looking as though always wanting an answer.

Horse's head

This fellow's whole demeanour gave me the impression that he wasn't sure what I wanted, and whether he had misheard me. Maybe it was just that I had clicked the camera earlier and he therefore thought I had said something. In fact I hadn't said anything, though there was a lot of chattering going on in the area.

I can well see the fascination for painters when they want to paint the face of animals!

Autumnal shopping

Trees, a slight haze, with sunlight shafting in - what more could one ask for in a picture like this? How about also having a lone walker, perhaps going home with her lunch in a carrier-bag?

Or maybe there is a psychological aspect to this picture. Is it really an illustration of someone going through life without a real aim, heading into a void, perhaps with some refreshments to help her on her way, but certainly on her own? I wonder............... Certainly the picture is as it was, with no alterations!
