The village of Meneham, locate in Pagan county (bro Pagan), was initially built as a lookout post in the 17th century by Vauban. The main building has the distinction of having a stone roof. The inhabitants came to steal the wood used for the fire.

The Waratah (Telopea speciosissima) is NSW's State Floral Emblem. It's characterised by large, flamboyant clusters of individual flowers, whose styles stand proud of the core flower head form. With contrasting black stigmas these protruding elements seem quite personable when viewed closely - or is this just garden whimsy?
A collection of metal temporary fences inside looking wistfully out to where the sun is shining brightly.
These are desiccated leaves fallen from our neighbours' hornbeam hedge. They do fall off at this time of year to make way for new growth. But there's little growing here even though we're in mid April as it's been continually cold for many weeks. I couldn't resist grouping them together to illustrate the Arctic chill in the air.
Beautiful old chateau in the French countryside.
48 hour trip to Belgium and France with more seals than tupperware.

Architecture of varied styles and eras from the Severns Building of 1480 (bottom left) to the 1960's Castle Heights (top left) in Nottingham, UK. The 200ft (61 metre) Dome belongs to the Neo-Baroque Council House of 1929.
Staying Local - General Cemetery - went to check on the iron post with ladybirds sheltering in a crease in the design - I think the small bugs with white spots could be early stage larva - stacked image
Happy July 4th...Do you see what I see?
"Keep ancient lands, your storied pomp!" cries she
With silent lips. "Give me your tired, your poor,
Your huddled masses yearning to breathe free,
The wretched refuse of your teeming shore.
Send these, the homeless, tempest-tost to me,
I lift my lamp beside the golden door!"
The New Colussus
Emma Lazarus (November 2, 1883)
Another view of the Thornbury harbor as the sun was going down tonight. With temperatures around plus 13 today, there was some major thawing going on locally. The ice in the harbor was breaking up like huge patio stones and they reflected a hint of pink from the setting sun as the boats huddled together on land waiting for summer.
Young Raccoons know how to stay warm on a brutal cold windy day !
Great Swamp NWR, NJ
Thank you very much for your kind comments, favorites and looking and please stay safe !
A dull and dreary day and what at first glance appeared to be a lone tree in a field was looking like a great subject for a minimal long exposure image...
Upon further investigation for angles from which to set up the 'lone tree' revealed itself as actually being 2 trees leaning against each other and becoming one in the upper entangled branches, I've never seen anything like this before where they are so far removed from any other trees so I picked a spot to show the separation and set up to do some long exposure work.
It wasn't long after I'd started that the rain (that wasn't forecast) came rolling in and I had little choice but to to just cover the camera and bag up and stand in it until it passed.
Just shortly before it stopped the only bit of light I saw all day came bursting through a tiny break in the cloud to illuminate the tree, and also the passing storm clouds, a quick reset of the camera from long exposure and removal of the filters saw this captured instead.
Certainly not what I'd intended to shoot but something I'm far happier with, you can still see the rain coming down in the left hand side of the scene.
I did get really wet taking this but the thought of missing any potential shots after the rain finished, (which can sometimes be the case) made me stay, I just got very lucky with that little burst of light that only lasted 1 minute or less.

The top of kunanyi (Mt Wellington) is a harsh place. With its freezing temps, strong winds and long winters, it amazes me that anything can grow there. And yet it does. Huddled down between the rocks are the hardiest plants imaginable.
I just had to laugh when I found these two grasshoppers that appeared to be huddling together to keep warm on the first chilly morning a few weeks ago!
As I don't have grandkids to indulge in chocolate Easter Eggs I normally only buy one of these small Lindt Rabbits in Dark, Milk and Hazelnut Chocolates.
I found these three huddled together wondering how much longer they would remain unwrapped and uneaten!
Happy easter everyone!

I found this cluster of milkweed beetles outside today while I was doing a garden cleanup...
I left them alone since they looked like a happy family....
Are milkweed bugs beetles?
Common Milkweed Insects – Wisconsin Horticulture
The 26 different milkweed longhorn beetles (Tetraopes spp. in the family Cerambycidae) each prefer a different species of milkweed. Of the 13 that occur in the US, only three species occur in the east, and the most common species in Wisconsin is the red milkweed beetle.
Shooting old groynes again this week on the Norfolk Coast at Hopton on Sea, it's lovely to capture these very textured and battered relics from the past. Edited in a fine art style to capture some mood and atmosphere.
Huddled Masses
The second post from a new collection of images I released earlier this week. Although the collection largely draws on images created during this past summer, there are a few holdovers I captured in seasons past but only recently had the urge to work on. “Huddled Masses” is one of those images and ranks up there as a favorite in the new releases. A couple years ago some friends and I went on a snowy fall backpacking trip to the high mountains of central Washington. Looking back it’s one of the most memorable trips of the past few years. This image, to me, contains so many of the elements which made that trip special: lots of fresh snow, sunlit larch trees, color contrasts, and high mountain walls rising around us. It’s when a photograph succinctly conveys the power of the experience that photography reaches its highest form.
