Foggy sunrise at Corfe Castle, Dorset, England
Couple of weeks ago there was fog in the forecast and I did my normal dithering as to where I'd go. Eventually I decided to head for Corfe Castle as I hadn't shot it for a while. I initially parked near the start of the path up West Hill but there were already quite a few cars there and I just didn't fancy being in a line of Togs (no offence meant). I therefore decided to drive on to shoot across the Common. There were some epic predawn colours with the fog (photos will follow) but as the sun rose for a brief period there was a lovely pastel pink tinge to the scene. The top of the Castle played peek-a-boo with me and it took quite a while for the level of the fog to drop.
I love the photos you can get from West Hill but for a peaceful dawn at Corfe this is definitely the place to be. I had one of those mornings where I was smiling to myself all the time. I really like this shot and hope it's not just me being biased!

As always, thank you so much for stopping by and for leaving any comments or faves, they are very much appreciated.
I love this shot I got of Donovan today. He was behind this tree and I was just waiting for him to look at me through the trunks. So when he did, I was ready for it, LOL.

Magpies are funny creatures and they are getting quite close to us when we are eating our breakfast

Peek a Boo - I was going through old files and realized I'd never shared this image! The distance was large and this is a tight crop, but this was a truly special moment seeing these two young Bobkittens at ~3 months of age playing in the oak savannah. Not sure I'll ever see anything like this again, but hoping I do!

Minks for the most part can be difficult to capture. This one was playful and curious, he even hung out with me darting from rock to rock and occasionally popping out for a look. Thanks fella!

I can't resist posting one more of these, as it was such a unique sky. The sun peeks through the smoky skies over the Shiawassee NWR as the west coast wildfires impact skies in Michigan, 2000 miles away.
It is my ardent belief that we can all find beauty, wherever we go, if only we open our eyes and see it. I had to take a trip to see my doctor the other day and as I was waiting for the tram to go home after my consultation, I happened to notice a few pretty pink ornamental flowering almond blossoms poking through a hedge as I waited. They appeared to be saying: "peek-a-boo - we see you. Do you see us?" I'm so glad that I did see them, as I love the pink and white blossoms of the flowering almond, and they gave me a much needed smile. They are so delicate and pretty, how can one not smile when seeing them?
Spring is slowly returning to Melbourne, not that you would think so today, with extremely low temperatures and gusty winds, but when I took this photo earlier in the week, it had been a cool, yet sunny day which is typical of early spring days in Melbourne.
A spring-blooming shrub, flowering almond is a beautiful addition to any garden with sweet pink double blossoms. Sometimes the flowers are followed by small round red fruit coveted by squirrels. This shrub can grow ten to fifteen feet tall, but there is also a dwarf flowering almond (Prunus glandulosa) with pink or white flowers that grows only four to five feet tall.
The rising sun is trying to hide behind this old barn, only to be betrayed by its reflection in the foggy pond.
Since I am addicted to flower photography and I can't help myself in the spring... I have disabled the comments on this image.
I appreciate all that visit and take a look and hope that you like what you see...
Just a little sneak peek of my little bee project, which is getting a pretty big overhaul! I can't wait to share it with you all... but for now we are busy little bees working hard to get everything ready! 🐝
Stay tuned for more sneak peeks and info!
HA 30!
(My last Arachtober post, as everything else I have are just variations of previous shots--not much of a Spider Year. Thank You all!)

This shot didn't work out well at all, the camera was packed away again and I was in a rush, I should have known better. But I have included it as it tells a later story to the one of the birds on a wire I told this morning. It really was something of a bird morning and we should have been expecting it.....the Sulphur Crested Cockatoo that I had fed earlier (see the other shot and description) later came back with its mate. Of course, food was probably available. They landed on the roof and peeked down checking out the menu. Sadly for me the photo was a bit of a failure and for them, well, no food! But the word gets out fast doesn't it. Hunger drives everything and comes first! They did fly off, unfulfilled of course but I bet they will be back!
