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.
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.
Mama Mallard had some tiny ducklings in shrubbery. I could hear them. The drake is a hybrid by the looks of him.
After an overnight freezing sleet, the trees and shrubbery were covered with ice, so lots of macro photo opportunities!
I'm afraid Gustav took away all the shrubbery. This is what it once was like. Seen here.

On my recent travels I headed up to Ben Lawers NR in the Scottish Highlands, only a hour drive from where I stay. I went in search of the elusive mountain ringlet. I went up last year however decided to cancel as there was an extreme heat warning and there is no cover on the hill. This is a hard to find butterfly with only known colonies known to be at Ben Lawers and the Lake District. This species only operates at mountain level around 350m. They have a short life cycle of about 3/4 weeks, and if it isn’t warm enough to fly they tend to rest in the tall shrubbery and bracken. This makes them hard to find as you could easily walk past one nestled in the grass. I got very lucky as the day I went up a few weeks ago I didn’t see any as again it was cold. Then as we headed back down towards the nature trail we saw one on the ground, he hopped on to my friends hand. I hope everyone has a good weekend.
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)
It rained for the first time in 2.5 months. This is seen through a two-time magnifying ring on my lens.
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 :)
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.
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.

While on shrubbery patrol, Jasper needs to remain alert, ready to slay any would-be dragons lurking in our neighborhood.

Historic pottery from about 1905, hidden in shrubbery on Robson-Harrington Estate, San Anselmo, Marin County, Northern California, USA.
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.

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.
Santa Eulalia, Peru. October 2018.
A glorious blazing red with pale yellow throats and rich brown pollen. Beautiful!
Numbering over 300 species, vireyas can be found growing across much of S.E. Asia, principally in New Guinea, Borneo, Sulawesi, Sumatra and the Philippines. Although these are tropical regions, vireyas mostly grow in cool mountainous areas as epiphytes high in the tall trees of the cloud forest or in more open ground in shrubberies. Here the climate is more temperate and this makes the vireya ideal for wider cultivation across the world.

all the lilies look so beautiful when they first open. the flower is long lasting as is the perfume lingering in the garden
lilies that i planted in pots have flourished but most of those planted in the garden soil were eaten by slugs. thankfully this lily was one of the exceptions. next year all the lily bulbs will be in pots

for many years my garden was a shrubbery flic.kr/p/Lhv9ag which i loved. a picket fence covered in an ivy hedge coming down in a storm flic.kr/p/2gnCyih meant that over time changes had to happen flic.kr/p/2mn2x8a i'll be glad when the trellis is covered in honeysuckle and jasmine. that's the plan ...

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.
A brief diversion on our day out to photograph this excursion which stopped here at Frodsham to take on water. This gave us chance to find another location, just as did several other photographers.
Unlike the Acton Bridge experience on the day previous to this, no one got in our way.
That lineside shrubbery on the right was a bit of a nuisance though.
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.
