The clouds and sunshine in late afternoon created this ominous but fluffy colour filled skyline and fiery horizon which contrasted against the overgrown forefront shrubbery and the distant green grazing fields.
Mama Mallard had some tiny ducklings in shrubbery. I could hear them. The drake is a hybrid by the looks of him.
Jasper often prowls the shrubberies in the neighborhood. He likes to see if he can find kitty cats. He really wants to meet them, but their posture when we do encounter a cat seems to indicate that they don't particularly want to meet him. We get the classic Halloween cat pose with arched back, tail up, bared teeth and a hiss. But Jasper is always kind, wanting only an inter-species encounter.
Jasper inspects the shrubbery troops. A perfect line. Tops high and tight. Polished roots. Everything is ship shape. Inspector Jasper gives them a paws up. And he knows where to go in case he runs into the Knights that say , "Ni" (Monty Python reference)
South Beach State Park near Newport, Oregon, USA. Shot on one of the walkways leading to the beach, the overgrown Myrtle shrubbery and beach Pines, and gloomy weather create the illusion of walking into a dark unknown. The roar of the ocean was muted in this hushed darkness. Only the cold, the damp, and the sigh of the wind could be felt.
natural winter abstract from Iceland showing the sparce and hardy shrubbery some parts of the islands are covered with. This image will be the place holder while we are on the plane going back to Iceland. By tomorrow expect new, fresh imagery from that magical island :)

I think it goes too often that we are not criticizing photography. Granted, criticism from others is not what improved my photography over the years. But criticism from myself did improve it. The fact was I didn't get much criticism before I made improvements.
Don't be afraid to criticize. I welcome it. But i think it must remain in the photography community. Taking a glance at so called "Modern Art" is a prime example. Art is not entirely subjective. There are rules. Without rules, there is really no creativity to create.
I welcome your thoughts and thanks for the view.

Protective bannisters on the stairs, with the the top of Cape du Couedic Lighthouse seen in the distance beyond the expanse of grass and shrubbery.
These stairs reach down past the boardwalk, on the way down to Admiral's Arch.

Historic pottery from about 1905, hidden in shrubbery on Robson-Harrington Estate, San Anselmo, Marin County, Northern California, USA.
While on shrubbery patrol, Jasper needs to remain alert, ready to slay any would-be dragons lurking in our neighborhood.
I spent the late afternoon and early evening at Barling Nature Reserve, it was such a warm pleasant day so I thought it was about time I captured some local wildlife.
The Male Black Cap is a summer visitor to the UK (April until September) but some stay all year round.
Its habitat is woodland with dense undergrowth, hedgerows, bramble thickets and other dense shrubbery.
The Cape du Couedic Lighthouse at the south-west extremity of Kangaroo Island, as seen beyond the windswept shrubbery.
Built between 1906-1909, it protects the rugged coastline from coming to grief on the rocky shores, which has already claimed 14 ships.
Nothing like a little early morning sunshine to put a bounce in your step and a smile on your pose, right Jasper? For the record, we always walk Jasper on-leash. Too many tempting things to chase out there. But I do take the leash off for photoshoots 😁 (looking at the shutter speed, I guess I'd have done well to close down the aperture a bit. 😜)
We're staring at a nice 3-day weekend coming up - Labor Day Weekend. Gonna be warm so we'll have to get out early.

Jasper navigates the Shrubbery Labyrinth deep within the land of the Knights that say Ni (a Monty Python and the Holy Grail reference - you see, the Knights that say Ni will only allow Jasper safe passage if appeased by the gift of a shrubbery)
Active little bird of shrubbery, hedges, and gardens, mainly in the Andes, but down to coast in northern Chile and Peru. Usually in pairs or family groups and not with mixed-species flocks. Feeds low to high at fruit and flowers, rarely staying still long and often hidden in foliage. Grayish overall with variable buffy wash to underparts. Best identified by white eyebrow, sharply pointed bill, and small white wing flash; no other species in range looks very similar.

Die Goldammer ist ein Charaktervogel strukturreicher Feldflur. Dabei genügt häufig schon ein einzelnes großes Gebüsch, eine lückige Hecke oder eine Baumgruppe, damit sie in der Agrarlandschaft siedeln kann. Dennoch geht die Brutpopulation seit vielen Jahren immer weiter zurück. In den Niederlanden, in England und auch in Deutschland hat sich die Art aus vielen Gebieten schon vollständig zurückgezogen. Ursache hierfür ist die zunehmende Industrialisierung der Landwirtschaft. Viele Felder sind riesengroß und monoton, es fehlt an Deckung und Nahrung. Was dennoch aufwächst wird mit Gift bekämpft. Dazu kommt, dass der Goldammer im Winter die früher typischen Stoppelbrachen fehlen: eine Folge der Umstellung von Sommer- auf Wintergetreide.
The goldenhammer is a character bird of textured fields. A single large shrubbery, a broken hedge or a group of trees is often enough for them to settle in the agricultural landscape. Nevertheless, the breeding population has been declining for many years. In the Netherlands, England and Germany, the species has already completely withdrawn from many areas. The reason for this is the increasing industrialization of agriculture. Many fields are huge and monotonous, there is a lack of cover and food. What grows up anyway is fought with poison. In addition, the goldenhammer lacks the stubble fallow typical of the past: a result of the switch from summer to winter grain.
Conemaugh & Black Lick SW7 #51 shoves over the Little Conemaugh River in downtown Johnstown. This section of track has seen significant shrubbery growth in recent times and it compliments the ruggedness of this rust belt shortline.
The story of Mono Lake always brings a tear to my eyes. If you are ever in the neighborhood, you should go visit the Mono Lake Committee Info Center and watch the video that they show. You'll tear up too.
Part of the Swiss Gardens at Old Warden in Bedfordshire, part of the Shuttleworth Estate.
At the highest point and in the centre of the garden is the Swiss Cottage. Used as a teahouse, it has with a cleverly hidden lower ground floor where the food could be prepared.
The Swiss Garden at Shuttleworth was created between 1824 and 1832. It was the project of a wealthy young gentleman, the 3rd Baron of Old Warden Lord Ongley, whose family had bought the estate in the 1690s.
When the garden was complete, he threw extravagant parties and even got his servants to dress up in Swiss costume to complete the look.
Creating the ‘mountainous’ effect of an alpine scene in the flat Bedfordshire countryside would have been a particular challenge.
Excavated soil was used to create embankments and mounds that give the garden its distinctive appearance. In addition, all of the ponds were intentionally created, after a nearby river was dammed. The style is clearly influenced by medieval groves, with the tall trees in the garden creating a canopy and, in places, natural covered walkways.
This clever use of earthworks, shrubbery, trees, paths, little lakes and follies transformed the garden into what a contemporary visitor described as a ‘fairyland’.
