Even with foggy, smokey skies, the Morro Bay sea otters (Enhydra lutris) can provide some photo interest; Morro Bay Harbor entrance; CA; USA; Sony a9; Sony 200-600mm lens + 1.4X at 741mm; ISO 6400; f/9; 1/3200 sec; Gitzo tripod;
My third grandchild is only eight months old but she is so active and alert, eyes everywhere taking things in and learning. The first few months she wasn't so observant but now.....!!!! And I've been watching how she develops too.
When I was her age I moved to Singapore (well, I was moved. I couldn't do much more than a bottom shuffle and some observers might say of me I have never progressed much beyond that) but inevitably I grew up surrounded by Malay and Chinese workers......um, servants, most notably my amah (Chinese nanny) called Kanki.
It meant my young eyes and mind developed a certain impression of the people of that era, and I have since loved the shape of their bamboo sunhats.
Inevitably when I saw this scene of the fungi growing on the side of a rotting log in Biddulph Grange Country Park it reminded me of scenes of Chinese peasant fishermen clinging to the rocky coastline, jostling each other to get their line over the shoal of fish below.
In my mind's eye, that would be a great scene to photograph compared to some dull brown toadstool things. But I reckon the autumnal colours are nice.
Once upon a long time ago this was my cuddle-toy........lives at my Mum's so it's ready for when I visit....yes I know I'm over half a century old but who cares ...sometimes you just need a big cuddle .....Sweet Dreams All
Spotted this on a walk through woodland near to Logie Steading today. Not entirely sure if this wasn't a separate tree but it looked like the parent cuddling into its offspring in a protective embrace.
