Managed to get some pretty cool effects going on with oil drops, this time trying something different with lighting and angles. There may be more to come, I have been busy…

Sunrise – 01.12.20
Strange colours and clouds to start the day.

Large Red Damselfly
My previous garden (by about 4), had a small well established pond and beautiful mature garden bringing in so much wildlife it was amazing to me. During the spring damselflies were appearing everyday as well as dragonflies. It took me a few days to realise they were emerging from the pond! I’ll do another post of one I caught in the act – quite a sight I must say. This one stopped for a mini photo shoot.

Orchid revival
My orchid, despite the previous odds of orchid survival under my care – has made it 😁 And came back to bloom this year. But upon the first bud opening, little ghost orchid looks really sad 😕👻 and the second one angry 😬

Heart Shaped Lenticular Cloud
This is a special lenticular cloud for me as it appeared while we were on our honeymoon! Have to say I was very impressed.

Bismuth Abstract
Was having some fun with photography that wasn’t nature, I had forgotten how much fun it can be to just play around. Between working, writing, painting, playing with my dog and general tasks and life, it’s not always easy to find the time or to be in the mood for it. Colours, props, lighting and trying different angles. Funnily enough, the short time I was at art college a long time ago now, photography week was the only one I was in attendance for every day!
I give you – Bismuth.
Further down is an animated version 🙂

Nigella Flower
Such a pretty flower that seems to go by many names. Love-in-the-mist and ragged lady I guess you could think ok, strange naming but ok. But Devil in the bush, not sure how that one transpired. Hoping to have more of these growing this year.

Grass Snake in the pond
There have been many great opportunities to get photos of nature when often it is just there. No looking needed. They come to me. If you have a pond (or had use of one like I did), it’s awesome finding new things and seeing new visitors each day. Sometimes birds stopping for a bath, dragonflies passing through, newts and various insects and spiders.
But one day, there was something else. I bigger head and pair of eyes than I was used to, and may have thought it was a frog at first glance. Then it lifted it’s head a bit. I have to admit I turned towards the house and shouted ‘Quick, grab my camera, it’s a fucking snake!’. And it was.
Luckily he was curious and moved into a better position for a moment. I felt very lucky that day.
