040-365v4 Pied Wagtail (Motacilla alba)

A second appearance for this little fellow on the blog (you can see this Pied Wagtail (Motacilla alba) here as well), it was a month ago so I hope you’ll forgive this repeat. S/he is a happy little soul always bouncing around the garden, even ratty doesn’t chase him/her, unlike

As with much of the East of England today we have had a moderate snow fall. As we are in the South this has caused complete chaos. This, of course, makes no difference to me as I work from home, long gone are the “snow days” when it was perfectly

038-365v4 – Rubik’s Cube

How to make a photograph of a rubik’s cube interesting? Not sure if I’ve succeeded, but using black and white paper as a background always helps. I tried with a few different colours of paper and showing different coloured sides of the cube. I think this yellow version of the

037-365v4 – 3 Balls on a Bed

I’ll admit, this wasn’t the outcome I was looking for, I had some very grandiose ideas how this shot was going to turn out…and this wasn’t even close to the result I was looking for. Not even a twirl or orb could fix this one! I also took some additional

036-365v4 Reflected Boughs

I very nearly posted a very similar picture to last Friday’s today (see below). We had a reasonably nice sunrise this morning, although I had already gone past (and photographed) my normal tree before the colours came out, so I followed my own advise, opened photoshop and did a sky

035-365v4 – Dragged Through a Hedge Backwards

We saw this little Blue Tit for the first time in our garden yesterday. Debbie actually asked what sort of bird it was as it looked so odd and it was only when we zoomed into him that we could see s/he was definitely a Blue Tit. S/He came back

034-365v4 Out the Bathroom Window

I dashed upstairs when I noticed a rather nice sunset going on (I was working at the time) and shot this image of the Doctors Pond area of Great Dunmow, which was just as well as I’ve had no time to do the image I wanted to do – I

Tuesday’s are often a busy day what with work and then Camera Club (currently via Zoom at the moment) in the evening so I thought I would get today’s post out a bit earlier than my normal last minute at 11.00pm job that I normally do 😉 It’s been a

032-365v4 Colours and Piet Mondrian

Colours have always been an issue for me. I well remember being in Kindergarten and being the only kid that didn’t know his colours. I was upset and didn’t understand why I had so much trouble with them, I kind of bluffed my way along until a visit to the

031-365v4 More Obsessions from the Lockdown

You may have seen previous post when I discussed my obsession with Twirls during the first lockdown. There was an obsession that came before twirls which was…Orbs! Last time one of my obsessions came up it was due to me not really having any photographs to post (that I was
