Some blue sky, but mainly orange-brown clouds turning black as an approaching storm gathered force at dusk.

Le Bruant jaune est un passereau vivement coloré. Le mâle en plumage nuptial arbore un plumage jaune et châtain roux du plus bel effet. Cette espèce est connue pour son chant décrit localement par plusieurs mots qui ne font que rappeler le rythme et ne sont qu'une pâle imitation du véritable son émis par l'oiseau.
Le Bruant jaune est largement répandu à travers la majeure partie de l'Europe, avec quelques populations partiellement migratrices ou dispersives après la reproduction. Il fréquente les zones cultivées et les pâturages boisés, les lisières des forêts et les landes de bruyères.
Le Bruant jaune est menacé par la destruction de l'habitat et sa population semble décliner, mais actuellement, l'espèce n'est pas globalement menacée.

The Yellowhammer is a brightly colored passerine bird. The male in nuptial plumage sports a yellow and reddish plumage of the most beautiful effect. This species is known for its song described locally by several words which only remind the rhythm and are only a pale imitation of the real sound emitted by the bird.
The Yellowhammer is widely distributed across most of Europe, with some populations partially migratory or dispersive after breeding. It frequents cultivated areas and wooded pastures, forest edges and heather moors.
The Yellow Sparrow is threatened by habitat destruction and its population appears to be declining, but currently the species is not globally threatened.

Tenía pensada esta foto desde antes de hacerla. También, tenia pensado el encuadre y la edición de la imagen. El día, se había despertado, con un cielo lleno de nubes amenazantes y un aire frío, típico del invierno. Era justo, lo que esperaba un cielo lleno de nubes, quería darle fuerza a la imagen, con ese cielo y editándola en blanco y negro. Por otro lado, quería transmitir el momento, un día gris, frío , la plaza vacía prácticamente, pocos eran los valientes que salían a la calle. Yo era uno de ellos, salí precisamente para capturar, la imagen que tenía en mi cabeza y este es el resultado. Que os parece?.
I had this picture in mind since before I took it. Also, I was thinking about framing and editing the image. The day, he had woken up, with a sky full of menacing clouds and a cold air, typical of winter. It was fair, what i expected a sky full of clouds, I wanted to give strength to the image, with that sky and editing it in black and white. On the other hand, I wanted to convey the moment, a gray, cold day, the empty square practically, few were the brave ones who went out on the street. I was one of them, I went out precisely to capture, the image I had in my head and this is the result. What do you think?.
Shadows can be a curse., you're carefully crafted shot not quite what it could have been as that dark intruder ruthlessly cuts across the otherwise pin sharp image
It's happened to us all!
But (as Hollywood billboard creators discovered a long time ago) shadows can also be an extremely useful photographic 'device'., adding elements of foreboding., intrigue and menace to an image
This Barn owl had ducked into a dark hollow on a bright sunny day., and as he emerged the light/dark contrast was at it's maximum., and the resulting shadow (I thought has least) suddenly created an image of menace you wouldn't normally associate with this beautiful creature
A couple of evenings ago, in our "wild" garden and in some beautiful soft early evening light, I was taking some pictures of these purple flowers. Well, I call them flowers but the lady who helps with the garden calls them weeds. Never mind, they are flowers to me. Anyway, as I was shooting I suddenly picked up on this little caterpillar which I hadn't noticed before. Ah, I thought, something to focus my camera on to add a little interest. A few shots later I glanced over to my right and saw another caterpillar. And then another, and then another... well, you get the idea. As is often the case with insects and creepy crawleys, where you see one, look hard enough and you will see many more. I did a bit of quick research and my best guess is that these are the caterpillars of the Toadflax Brocade moth. Will they ingest my entire "wild" garden? I hope not!
