The topic of the Lens-Artists Photo Challenge is Reflections and I had a look through my archives for some suitable pictures. While finding these pictures I was reminded how much I love Cors Caron, and that I’m looking forward to going for a visit when damselfly and dragonfly season gets started. So here are someContinue reading “Reflections”

This week you have an opportunity to interpret metal, wood, water, fire, and/or earth with your favorite photos to express “…the only home we’ve ever known”. Feel free to choose one, two… or all five elements. Lens-Artists Photo Challenge #47: Five Elements I’veContinue reading “Elemental Nature”
Reflections at Cors Caron
No perfect mirror images, but there were lots of reflections of sky, trees, plants and a passing swan at Cors Caron last weekend. Inspired by the Weekly Photo Challenge: Mirror.
Waterlilies
How about some waterlilies? These photos, and some of yesterday’s, were taken at Compton Acres, some lovely gardens in Poole. Well worth a visit if you’re in the area and you enjoy a nice walk among lovely flowers. They also sell delicious quiche in the cafe 🙂
Stalking Raindrops
When stalking raindrops it is important to be careful or you risk destroying the very thing you seek… Today I was being extra careful as I was trying to avoid doing anything to vigorous that would disturb my delicate head after a migraine yesterday, as well as avoiding destroying raindrops. When the sun came out for a while afterContinue reading “Stalking Raindrops”
Half & Half
I have pondered for a while whether I have any photos that fit with this week’s photo challenge. Yet again I have to tear myself away from my preferred small world and look a bit further afield. That’s why they call it a challenge I guess! I took this photo last month at Cors Caron,Continue reading “Half & Half”
The joy of our own pond
I’m so glad we made a pond. Bruce’s back didn’t enjoy it but even he agrees that the pond is worth it. We can sit and watch frogs and newts, and all manner of insects who enjoy being near the water, without even leaving our garden. At the weekend I spent some time watching DamselfliesContinue reading “The joy of our own pond”
Cross Country Splash
Yesterday my daughter was having a Cross Country riding lesson with friends. They are preparing for a Cross Country event at the end of the month. As usual I took a lot of photos all around the course, but this jump was definitely my favourite. It was great fun getting shots of the riders envelopedContinue reading “Cross Country Splash”
rush
lying in warm darkness the quiet is not so quiet the stream rushes louder tonight swollen by rain in my mind I see the white water pouring down from the hills crashing over stones splashing swooshing swirling and I might be swept along in the tumbling torrent swept with the twigs and the leaves theContinue reading “rush”
Stormy Tears
The weather is atrocious as I’m sure you know if you are in the UK. It’s not really ideal for macro photos as even when the rain stops it’s too windy! I sneaked out for five minutes today to try and get some shots of droplets on leaves. There was too much wind and notContinue reading “Stormy Tears”
