Grass Snake in the pond

~ MKW Publishing ~ Leave a comment

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.

Muscari (grape hyacinth)

More of Spring showing itself in the garden. First two are from this year and a second two from last year too, it’s such a pretty flower. I used to think they were unopened bluebells when I was growing up, took me years to work out they were a completely different flower! 

A framed print is available for the muscari with yellow primula in the back and also available on the full range of redbubble products 🙂

Spectacular Lenticular

~ MKW Publishing ~ Leave a comment

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.

MKW Designs – Space Range

~ MKW Publishing ~ 1 Comment

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.
