081-365v5 – Down The Cemetery

I popped into Newcastleton to visit our excellent butchers and, on my way back, I stopped off at the local cemetery. My plan was to get some shots on the theme “crowded” which I did, but didn’t really like any of them. So, instead, here’s a view from the back

080-365v5 – Slime Mold (Metatrichia floriformis)

A few years ago I saw a talk at Bishop’s Stortford Camera Club about macro photography by Andy Sands and this included a lot of extreme macro images. I was fascinated with the types of things you could see, or should I say, couldn’t see and really fancied having a

079-365v5 Sheep and the Quarry

I needed to run into Carlisle today, the nearest city to us. Since first getting here I’ve been curious about this quarry and I took a closer look at it today. I thought the sheep gave quite a nice foreground interest to the image and converting it to black and

078-365v5 – The Warm and the Cold

This is a shot of the outback that is our back garden looking out past our neighbours land and into the forestry area. The picture shows a fairly distinct split between the area still warmed by the setting sun and the area that is now in shade as the evening

077-365v5 – The Sky at Night

This is a photograph of this view (well a little to the right avoiding the gate) taken tonight just before the moon rose. I’m surprised by the amount of light pollution to the left hand side and there is a small amount of Aurora Borealis to the right hand side.

076-365v5 – A Wooly Story

We occasionally have sheep visit the garden. They’re not supposed to but our neighbours sheep are great escape artists and they always enjoy a good feed on our lawn before ambling off down into what can best be described as scrubland behind the house. One of our recent visitors has

075-365v5 – Waterfalls, again!

I can’t keep away. I set off again down our burn to see the waterfalls and cascades this afternoon. We’ve not had much rain recently and the burn is quite shallow at the moment. This was to lead to a moment of complacency from me that I would regret. At

Chain

074-365v5 – Chained

Down at the Harden Burn this afternoon in the garden and I was having a look at this chain which is strung from a wire across the stream just before you reach a tunnel that goes under the road next to our house. There is a matching set up on

Primrose (Primula vulgaris)

073-365v5 – Primroses

These primroses (Primula vulgaris) are down by the Harden Burn that runs through the bottom of our garden and is a sure sign that Spring is starting to arrive, along with the longer, (slightly) warmer days.
