Just trying to illustrate that there may be several different and interesting compositions all in the same location.
Being confined to my home and garden means I have to look both inward and outward for pictures. This was taken on a Panasonic GX8 with the 12-60mm Leica Panasonic zoom. I only just about managed to keep the main flower in focus.
The local council is putting the oval lights on every weeknight during lockdown so folk can get out and do a little exercise (social distancing of course). So the kid and I did a little wander up.
Well it was my turn for a lockdown birthday, no wild parties, no clubbing and no going out for a lovely meal… all have been from birthdays past, this year was to get myself comfy, and large glass of Gin and some good telly. What more could I ask for :)
If it wasn't for the trees this would really be quite an uninteresting walk as the road is dead straight for a mile.
The daisies still pop their heads through the grass. Either the lawnmower gets them, or they duck down. Still as simple as they are, they are a welcome sight in Lockdown UK.
This year we decided to take part in “No Mow May”. Basically, during May, you leave the lawnmower in the shed, giving it a holiday and allowing all the small plants to have their day in the sun. so, we have left the top half of the lawn to do its own thing. The other half remains under the firm eye of the Mower. In Lockdown, that part gets extra attention.
So, to all those in England, Stay Safe”. To all those in Scotland, Northern Ireland and Wales, “Stay at Home” until further notice. One day we will all be united again. We all appear to be much better together, just like the daisies in the grass.
Another cloudy day so poor old Rachel was forced to sit for me again. We had a good laugh and there maybe few more to come from this session. This one intrigued me and I couldn't think why, until I realised it had a teeny shade (and honestly, not delusions of grandeur!) of Da Vinci's Virgin of the Rocks about it ... 😷
Im sure many people dreaded this sight when the prison was in operation, but now it just makes for a nice picture :) infact it probably was a lot darker when in use because all the cell doors would have been closed.

Comments welcome...
This is the main road to the Westcliff and Harbour, not very wide I grant you but it is usually full up with buses, delivery lorries etc and people on the way to the sea (behind me) I have never seen it this quiet even on a Sunday.
My Thanks for visits and comments
This is near Weir Wood Reservoir, Sussex. It was our first short drive out for the permitted exercise since the UK lockdown began on 23rd March.
Clear skies and a weekend low tide brings the Lockdown crowds out in their masses.
Hand-held & polarised on Newgale, walking the dogs & getting my exercise...
