This wonderful insect flew into the garden a couple of years ago and settled on my then growing green beans plant and sticks. And sat there for a little while, enough time to get my camera and take photos! I always feel lucky when nature visit, but extra lucky when it lets me take pictures 🙂

This one turned out a bit different. All I knew is I wanted to try and have a moon. No metallics used on this one which was hard, I really am tempted with all of them to just add a bit of shimmer. But it didn’t need it after all.

I’m not sure how long
We can pretend
That those who run it
Want this to end
I’ve never known
Such a show of shit
There are too many
Who benefit
From keeping things
Just as they are
Telling blatant lies
It’s just bizarre
And stranger still
One can’t deny
How so many folks
Did blindly comply
They followed the hype
And bought the tale
But all we’ve seen
Is an epic fail
Based on fiction
Our lives they stole
Just so they’ll have
Complete control
Frightening isn’t it?

Clouds have always taken my attention. From lying on your back as a kid in the summer and staring at the big white clouds drift by against a blue sky.
Over the last few years I’ve seen some rather spectacular clouds of the lenticular variety. Mostly in Spain but some here in the UK as well. But so far this is one the most epic ones, reminding me of a spaceship or vortex.

I have also animated this photo 🙂 you can find this and many more animated skies (and a few of my dog), on my YouTube channel.

I had a brief phase of using some of my photography with a space overlay app, I quite liked some of the results. Used my moon pictures taken with Celestron telescope and used a few oil drop and a water droplet pictures as they had a spacey feel to them to me.

What now we see
And understand
Is they built a house
On shifting sand
Precariously
If one brick goes
The rest will fall
Like dominos
And now we are
In quite a bind
As all these lies
Are intertwined
That’s why they work
So very hard
To twist our thoughts
They do bombard
The system and senses
With constant news
True or not
It’s there to confuse
Because they know
Just what to do
To get behaviour
From me and you
But think of a time
Before this mess
Of different thoughts
And far less stress
It’s not a distant memory

The garden has been a bit sparse of late, but as Spring starts to come through and the sun hits more of the garden, things are stirring. This little spider was sat still on the wall clutching his kill, a rare moment where I can take my time and try and get a good shot. Hampered slightly by my garden planter being in the way!

But still I tried to get underneath as best I could to get a shot of the front eyes.

Then a little while after, he was scampering across the wall and stopped for me. I like to think he remembered the photo shoot and wanted another one 😉

Just a big block of cloud that came moseying on through.
