Sadly this bathroom window ledge plant is not at it's best at this time of year. "Smile on Saturday".. "Get nature in your Home"..

Thought I would post something a little different from the recent posts; time for some colour. Colour is a real challenge for me; I find mono much easier. But I guess we will never improve or progress if we stand still.
Although anyone wanting to pick up some Mono tips, we are down to our last couple of spaces on the Monochrome Workshop that Doug Chinnery and I are running on the Somerset coast in Feb. Check Doug's profile or website out for more details.

At low tide, Kimmeridge Bay shows these cuboid featured dark slabs of dolostone jutting out into the sea.
Friday, after my 4am wakeup, a morning on the beach (see yesterday’s post) and a four hour drive back home I made another trip. I jumped into my Jeep and made the hour drive south to seek out my Peregrine Falcon family. Rain was in the forecast, again, and I wanted to check for fledglings before it started. Sure enough, after checking every ledge I spotted this female from a distance. My first this season. The adults were on high alert so I went deep into the woods to circle back before finding a gap through which to view the young Peregrine. I managed only a couple of quick shots before she flew and then the rain started. My excitement at finding this new, beautiful raptor, was tempered when I noticed a blanket of whitewash at the base of a tall tree several yards into the woods. Great Horned Owls are known predators of Peregrine fledglings and they have been seen in these woods. I didn’t see an Owl that day, but so far we have only seen one fledgling in a brood of three. Last year’s fledglings mysteriously disappeared after less than two weeks of freedom. I really hope at least one from this family will buck the odds and make it through the season. I will keep watching so stay tuned. June 23, 2017

So often when the weather is bad we are tempted to put the camera away, but often that is the very time you get the most moody and atmospheric pictures. This was taken last year on the Kimmeridge under cliff where there are some great textures and tones in the rocks and cliff face and I particularly liked the green on these rocks. There is another picture below.
If anyone is tempted to try it though, you need to check the tide times first because the shoreline is cut off between Rope Lake Head and Egmont Bight unless the tide is out, and then there is no way out other than to wait for the next low tide.
This one definitely needs viewing on black.
Here's a link to my latest BLOG entry.

probably my favorite from my roll and I've been trying to find the right picture for these lyrics and this was finally it :)
i'll post more later and my 365. I'm going to see 500 days of summer now.
Crackington is a small bay in Cornwall the tide was on the ebb unfortunately still managed to fill my wellies with sea water.
The rising tide comes in quickly best to take this shot on the ebb.
Fine-grained bedrock, near terminus of Franz Josef Glacier, New Zealand. This glacier undergoes rapid advances and retreats; it's currently retreating rapidly. It's not clear when it last covered this rock, but it did a fine job of smoothing it off whenever that was.
The ever so famous and shot to death washing ledge of Kimmeridge, on the Jurassic coast in Dorset, England. After a rather stupid decision to walk down the incredibly slippery ledge to get a different angle on it, me and Andy decided the washing ledge deserved a more appropriate name, hence "The ledge of doom".
Needless to say we both nearly fell over into the sea at more than one occasion on the way there and back, which would have possibly resulted in some sort of death by drowning due to incredibly heavy kit bag and the likes (that one's especially for you Andy). The fact neither of us had our torches with us on that day really didn't help getting back to safety in near-pitch black darkness either.
Anyway, after all that the couple of long exposures I took when further down the ledge of doom didn't actually come out well, so here's one I took several minutes before, from safety.

Managed to get out last weekend with the camera for the first time in a few weeks, so headed for the coast.
After seeing this cracker from Graham Stirling - www.flickr.com/photos/grahamstirling/5264349880/in/contacts/, I was keen to checkout the area it was taken. I've shot down at Torness loads of times, but always near the Power Station itself rather than further along the coast.
Sure enough there are some great rock ledges exposed at lower tides, plus a superb rock that pokes out the water at low tide and looks like a shark's fin! Hopefully head back this weekend to try shooting that with the zoom.

A favourite spot of mine, out on the ledges at Whitburn, behind Souter lighthouse.
In the grand company of Alan & Ian, we had a perfect viewpoint to watch the sunset colours change across the sky.
