One of several 'still life' ideas I've been trying with acorns and pine cones.

Macro detail shot on a walk after a rainstorm in the Wye Valley, Gloucestershire - on the Welsh borders

From the large dead and lifeless tree on my last upload to the small and delicate new life of flowers popping up all over the land. Spring is finally here.

Actually taken several weeks ago. I need to look up the species.

It is mid-winter, and between extreme weather and a lack of flowers, I was unable to capture a satisfactory image for this week's BW Flower macro. So, instead, I reprocessed an image I took earlier this year. Special thanks to my wife for her help with this project and her consistent encouragement.

Really enjoying shooting again everyday and just getting stuck in photography. It's my dream come true. 🌸

HMBT - Happy Monochrome Bokeh Thursday

An ethereal portrait of Mittens captured through the window with a very shallow depth of field.

I borrowed my spouse's Nikon Z5 full-frame camera and used the Viltrox 85mm f1/8 lens. I absolutely love this lens for portraits.

There were three foxes; this one has a scar

Dog, cigarette butt, and passers-by in Naples, Italy.

A little pre-festive detail shot with three 'apostle' coffee spoons, set against the bokeh from our Christmas tree

Dawlish Warren Nature Reserve, Devon

finally I found the "machine" that makes all those pretty bokeh-bubbles ;-)

Albuca Nelsonii (it's a bulbous perennial from the Eastern Cape of South Africa). Thank you Wittunga Botanic Garden for naming it for me

Waited patiently for this speedy bird to come out from the clustered bush of plants, finally caught her in the open. :)

Possibly Fomitopsis sp.?

The fog is about to vaporize, and the first sunrays hit a single straw amongst many

I bought this after Christmas, planted it around the New Year and it's just now deciding to bloom.

...on the fence!

For WhWednesday

Number 321 of my 365 photo challenge - A split-toned, shallow depth of field, landscape image of an old bench under a tree on a dark and rainy afternoon in Perthshire, Scotland.

This image sums up how I feel about the challenge on days like this. Benched by the weather. Or am I just being unimaginative?

Can still see snow in the background!
