Abbey Fields - Kenilworth

Snakeshead Fritillary at Cubbington

It can be a bit annoying when, in a country with the World's fifth largest economy, a few flakes of snow and a puff of wind causes the lights to go out, but a wind-up LED torch comes to rescue and produces some interesting shadows.

Long exposure on Boscombe beach highlighting one of those unique looking 'lampshades' that featured in a previous photo I uploaded a few weeks ago. (See photo entitled 'Three Gulls')

Here is another one. A stack of 5 shots focused manually. These guys are really small, so some dead spots still can be found.

I found these nature's 'lampshades' on my walk recently

Happy Macro Monday everyone X

Here we have a lampshade ... with the light on underneath.

And even though I thought I'd got off all the dust and cat hair, I now see one hair lingered.

What a delight it is

When,of a morning,

I get up and go out

To find in full bloom a flower

That yesterday was not there

A pair of mushrooms illuminated with an led torch sitting in the undergrowth in the Ashridge woods.

Interestingly genie-bottle shaped lampshades at the Rustic Gourmet coffee shop in King William Street, Kent Town.

Delicate see-through lampshades crafted from natural fibres, seen at a Kent Town coffee shop.

Another sunrise shot at Lytham. This is the post at the end of the lifeboat jetty warning boats that there is an obstruction beneath when the tide is high!

It does look like a basket or lampshade and when displayed against such a lovely sunrise, I think the title of this shot is worthy of the scene. I did want to get a slightly different composition with the most on the left hand third, but there were 2 birdwatchers standing immediately to my right on the cramped jetty and I didn't want to push them off into the mud! So central it is!

Not the typical photo in this photostream, but why not? Straight out of the camera, except for a slight crop. From our den/living room/whatever. You can see the texture better at the larger size.

Thanks for looking!

Found in a Japanese sushi place in Hobart.

Sometimes, when I'm bored, I shoot lamps.

Fuji X-E2 plus Helios 44M-7 wide-open (with a bit of roughing it in the editing process).

I've never understood why they put lampshades on the end of groynes? Either way, they make decent colour contrast against a rather monochromatic scene

A tiny parasol mushroom in a forest in souythern Sweden. I haven't made a full ID yet.
