The cricket visits the spiky dandelion. I did not notice the cricket until I had uploaded so well was it camouflaged. At first I darked the area around the cricket so it could be seen, then decided to remove it so you could see how well it is camouflaged

Baddesley Clinton is a moated manor house, about 8 miles (13 km) north-west of the town of Warwick, in the village of Baddesley Clinton, Warwickshire, England. The house probably originated in the 13th century, when large areas of the Forest of Arden were cleared for farmland. The site is a Scheduled Ancient Monument and the house is a Grade I listed building. The house, park and gardens are owned by the National Trust and open to the public; they lie in a civil parish of the same name. Wikipedia

An early drive back from Scotland and the sunrise was promising with thick mist and a slight frost. Who could resist a trees, water and soft light?
Image taken on a recent trip to Dorset.
Many thanks to everyone that views and comments on my images - very much appreciated.
Aproaching storm. It took another 15 minutes for the torrential rain to reach us. It simply poured down. After the rain stopped there was a triple rainbow behind me.
And more than a hint of rain…
The first of the 2022 season, our garden. Photography under an umbrella…

One of those times when you see a photo on Flickr and because you liked it so much you wanted to create your own version of it, or at least something similar. Here was my inspiration ⬇️

August 2023 edit, after viewing on several devices it was just too dark I think. Boosted exposure by a small amount and re-cropped to 7:5 (Affinity Photo).

I wanted to revisit the wooden roses, this time in the kitchen studio.
Enjoy!
Merchant Navy Memorial at The Customs House, South Shields.
In memory of the thousands of merchant seamen who sailed from this port and lost their lives in WWII.
With some added 'atmosphere' from me.
As a child I recall seeing a painting of a wheatfield painted just before a storm. The leaden sky hung in the background a perfect colour contrast to the colour of the ripened grain. That image rather stuck with me and the composition (half and half) has always appealed - you will see a fair amount of it in my photostream. Van Gogh's wheatfield with crows is another (for me) riveting image. Perhaps I should go in search of crows this summer?
Colours in the landscape over winter are in short supply, but they are there and so assume a greater sense of self, impacting on our consciousness. I enjoyed making some images on a cold and frosty end-of-2020 with remnants of colour in a patch of nondescript woodland I've come to know well. The whites, blues and cyans of winter woodland provided a good foil for some of the warmer colours still available.
