This duck was crazy while bathing. Darting back and forth, shaking and dipping into the water. Took quite a few shots to get one I liked, but this is it.

Taking photos of Cleo is beginning to get more difficult again. September arrived and she thought it was time to switch to hibernation mode although during the day it has still beeen summery warm. Hibernation mode means that she moves even less than usual and prefers to sleep in the darkest corners of the house. She hasn't moved into the basement yet but that is likely to happen in the near future. When I took this photo she was lying on her cushion in the living room and refused to move to a place with more light.
Pulled in at Kneeton near East Bridgford on the way home from a visit to the coast. I liked this shot of the sheep and lambs and this is cropped to about a quarter I reckon.
Its sharp enough I suppose but I dislike the oof area's..
This is the lens I was referring to that I just don't like that much but it doesn't do such a bad job but..... you know I just am not that pleased with its performance.
This was shot at 132.00mm f/6.3 @1/200 and iso 100
Those lambs are irresistible but I didn't upload because imho something is lacking.. and if you are thinking of saying mint sauce, don't even think about it lol...
Family: Asteraceae.
Photographed at Belfield Wine Estate, Elgin, Western Cape, South Africa, during the 2015 Elgin Open Gardens.
This is a photograph of the top side of one leaf laid over the reverse side of another leaf from a different tree.
Taking a moment to leave the house, stand outside at the edge of the gravel road, see the golden light, watch the roadside grasses moving in the breeze, feel the wind and enjoy the songs of the birds.

There was a really big sea running yesterday, but while the tide was out it felt quite calm and idyllic. I'd had this idea of doing some more driftwood figures, so this is what slowly evolved. Taking hands is by Ivor Cutler, and is a perfect title. I left to play with crashing waves and got absolutely drenched, while they stayed walking on the beach.
Taking a break,er even van tussen !!!

Wakering Photography Group Calendar 2020.
The calendar theme for 2020 is UK Nature and Wildlife.
Each WPG member submitted three photographs for the 2020 calendar of which only one could be selected from their entries.
We had three independent judges, Professional Photographer Clarissa Debenham, Accomplished Photographer Stuart Howell and Jan Swift.
My third entry were these fabulous Fallow Deer, this male and female were laying low hoping I would pass, which I did quietly but not before I captured this wonderful moment.
I am delighted that the judges selected this image as one of the twelve for the 2020 calendar.
