everything starting to look a bit autumny now
Lou Reed - I'll Be Your Mirror
Seriously, if you like Sergei Polunin, click this link!
You are the rite of movement
Its reasonin' made lucid and cool
I know it's no improvement
When you move, I move
You're less Polunin leapin'
Or Fred Astaire in sequins
Honey, you, you're Atlas in his sleepin'
And when you move, I'm moved
When you move
I can recall somethin' that's gone from me
When you move
Honey, I'm put in awe of somethin' so flawed and free
So move me, baby
Shake like the bough of a willow tree
You do it naturally
Move me, baby
So move me, baby
Like you've nothin' left to prove
And nothin' to lose
Move me, baby

Bough beech on the Kent weald always a delight to walk around and capture the wild delights in autumn..AONB
Spot these tall, prehistoric looking birds standing like a statue on the edge of ponds and lakes, contemplating their next meal.Herons are often seen standing as still as a statue on their long thin legs in shallow waters of ponds and lakes patiently waiting for their next meal to swim by. These tall birds spend most of their time alone feeding mainly on fish but can be tempted by the occasional tasty mole!
Been revisiting old images as I was stuck in this weekend, and a planned shoot fell through!
From over a year ago ... I pretty much couldn't take a bad shot of Bex ... and the freckles and the eyes in this shot cried out for black and white.
Am not a great fan of over using Photoshop ... but had a good old tinker today!
Within the sanctuary at Nemi grew a certain tree of which no branch might be broken. Only a runaway slave was allowed to break off, if he could, one of its boughs. Success in the attempt entitled him to fight the priest in single combat, and if he slew him he reigned in his stead with the title of King of the Wood (Rex Nemorensis). According to the public opinion of the ancients the fateful branch was that Golden Bough which, at the Sibyl’s bidding, Aeneas plucked before he essayed the perilous journey to the world of the dead. The flight of the slave represented, it was said, the flight of Orestes; his combat with the priest was a reminiscence of the human sacrifices once offered to the Tauric Diana.

It was about 5 degrees when I took this. I think my brain was about as numb as my fingers because I was not feeling too creative!
The old orchard at Bough Beech provides a variety of habitats and examples of traditional varieties of Kentish apples.This orchard is a rich habitat for wildlife because it is not managed for maximum fruit production. The trees are only lightly pruned which allows light to reach the ground between the trees and no sprays are ever used. There is cover for birds to nest, the fruit feeds flocks of migrant Fieldfares and Redwing in the winter as well as resident small mammals. Reptiles live in the long grass and compost heaps.
The term "woodlands at bough beech" likely refers to the woodlands surrounding Bough Beech Reservoir in Kent, England, which is a popular area for outdoor activities like walking. The reservoir itself was created in the 1960s and the surrounding landscape was designed to be a nature reserve, making it a location with both reservoirs and woodlands. A popular trail in the area is the Bough Beech Reservoir Circular trail, which takes about 1.5–2 hours to complete..
It almost felt as if this tree was taking a bow and declaring "Your welcome" in response to my random cheers and excitement when I arrived in this beautiful little woodland and finally got the moody, foggy conditions I'd been hoping for!
The query "B road to bough beech reservoir" most likely refers to the B2042, which is a road that leads to the vicinity of the reservoir. From the B2042, you can access local footpaths, such as the one that starts near Bore Place, which leads through the fields and woods to the reservoir itself.
Bough Beech Nature Reserve
The reserve encompasses a large expanse of water which attracts a wide variety of birds and other aquatic life. The surrounding woods, fields and streams also support a rich variety of wildlife.
Kingfishers are found in Kent wherever there are clean, slow-moving waterways with a healthy fish population and banks suitable for nesting, such as rivers, canals, and lakes. You can look for them in places like Sevenoaks Nature Reserve, Bough Beech, and along the River Stour, but they are somewhat shy and best seen early in the morning or by finding a suitable perch near the water.
flocks of Blue Tits at Bough Beech, especially in winter along the causeway between reservoirs where feeders attract large, lively groups, making it a great spot for birdwatchers to see these energetic small birds in hedgerows and near feeders, often joining mixed flock
This beautiful Camellia Sasanqua is called “Kanjiro”. I captured her sitting in quiet reflection on a piece of shiny mirrored glass in my front garden, on an unseasonably mild and sunny Autumnal afternoon.
This year the FFF+ Group have decided to have a weekly challenge called “Snap Happy”. A different theme chosen by a member of the group each week, and the image is to be posted on the Monday of the week.
This week the theme, “reflection” was chosen by Beverley, BlueberryAsh.
When I read what the “Snap Happy” theme was for the week, I rushed outside on a wave of creativity. I already had some boughs of Kanjiro inside in a tall Art Deco glass vase, cut to allow a repair man to do some maintenance to our bay window this week, and I had photographed some of the blooms earlier that day. I took one of my mirrors out and placed it in the middle of my front lawn and cut the perfect Kanjiro bloom from my hedge and placed it on the mirror. I wasn’t expecting such a pleasing effect. It also gave passers by a chance to stare at me playing with a mirror on my front lawn yet again, as I had several weeks ago when photographing “Heavenly Chocolate”. I’m sure they think me quite mad! The things we do for art!
Vigorous, Camellia sasanqua \'Kanjiro\' is a magnificent Japanese beauty with masses of large, single to semi-double, rich cerise blossoms. They are delicately shaded paler at the center and the base of the petals which gives the appearance of a central stripe. The blooms occur over quite a long period between March and June in the Southern Hemisphere which makes them very popular. They are often used for hedges or to cover walls.
As cyanistes caeruleus, as they're known scientifically, is a wonderful garden bird, they're cared for a little better than some other birds. A colourful mix of feathers across their body means that they're encouraged by most birdwatchers, and a good blend of seeds and nuts will allow a small population to live well...like here at Bough Beech!
"What is this life if, full of care,
We have no time to stand and stare.
No time to stand beneath the boughs..."
This is a photograph of the wind. Today there was a lot of wind. I do not like it - it's hard to catch a focus.
