Well...I can't say if a fully flowering Echinacea is more lovely than a Love-In-A-Mist, but its aftermath is. The latter produces a thing of nightmares while this looks - business like and efficient and not ugly at all, not even hardly. Hopefully plenty more of the same next year.
A moist and cold day by the River Thames at Gravesend...not actually that unpleasant other than the drab lighting. But these things must be borne with a stiff upper lip.
The tide was out, exposing the plentiful mud and a little down river, a few birds I'd not seen before, searching for whatever creatures live in the mud.
Gravesend is forecast its share of Storm Grotti or whatever it is, mainly in the form of rain. No snow, which is fine by me.

These Tree V Fold photographs show trees forming a fantastic figure fashioned from branches and leaves.
The sign with birds in silhouette both open and closed catches the eye and makes for a great positive message as you walk from the Car Park to the Visitor’s Centre. I was very pleased with the single image and also with the joining of images which immediately offered two variants. The two variants were either the original full frame joining forming a Tree V Fold, or a sharper incised cut to make a more precise V Fold at the centre of the pictures.
The Sun and Winter go very well together. Bright and strong the shadow making light built everything, well photographically at least. This is a great place with excellent cafe and visitor’s centre making a superb human reaction to help wildlife. This place is a reserved world of natural wonders nestled in amongst our modern pressures of life and living that often overlook wildlife and the chance to be calmer and closer to the land, water and sky and also to those that never left the cycle of seasonal lifestyle.

These V Fold photographs show the sign at RSPB Scotland Loch Leven nature reserve reflected upon itself forming a sharp fantastic figure V fashioned from the weathered steel and full of a wonderful coloured sky. It was a great moment of evening rich sky and artificial lights from the car park making for deep colours ad strong silhouettes. I do not normally crop a picture that I reflect upon itself, here I did in part to rest my arms fearing that I might not be steady enough to take this picture, so the crop brings about a sharper image than I could in camera.

Cold again by the River Thames, autumn proceeding 'at pace' as Mr Starmer likes to have it.
Cropped in Photoshop plus a little brightening.

An enticing picture on the side of the cafe at Gravesend's Gordon Gardens, closed due to inclement weather/end of season (?)...
I once read a book by Robert A Heinlein, a progenitor of the noodle brain "thought processes" of Enoch Musch and its ilk: a 600 page "sci-fi epic" with a collection of silliness presented as snappy aphorisms - "A camel is a mouse designed by a committee".
This painting illustrates that very point, in that a committee consisting of Jackson Pollock, Andy Warhol and Amy Winehouse, tasked with designing a winning ice cream cone to be sold on sunny days in untold number, would have come up with just this and the world would have been the better for it. Or not, as the case may be.
