Squirrel Selfie
| |
|
|
|
Another squirrel photo from the university campus, zoomed in close (and cropped) to get a selfie of the photographer and wife reflected in the squirrel's eye
Spring Squirrel
| |
|
|
|
A photo from spring 2025 at the local University campus - a squirrel quite used to humans and happy to pose for a moment.
Rosemoor Glow
| |
|
|
|
A photo from the winter 'glow' at the Royal Horticultural Society's Rosemoore gardens. The whole gardens are illuminated with multicolour lights, and I liked the contrast of the natural and geometric patterns.
Docks
| |
|
|
|
A scene from Gloucester Docks that I thought worked well in black and white. Much of the dock area has been modernised and 'gentrified', but this section is older and partially derelict.
Tractors
| |
|
|
|
A nearby farm has a store of dereclict equipment including these old tractors. I liked the pastel colour effect of the paintwork, rust and moss.
Hay Bales
| |
|
|
|
National Trust's Croome Park estate, the hay meadows were cut, and the bales were waiting to be stacked.
Capability Brown landscape
| |
|
|
|
A summer's day at the National Trust's Croome Park - the sort of landscape that Lancelot "capability" Brown created in UK country estates.
Brockworth Garden
| |
|
|
|
A garden near me that occasionally opens to the public - from this angle I was able to get a painterly view. Monet, perhaps?
Moon
Dark Duck
| |
|
|
|
Another lucky shot - a Mallard dabbling in a local pond, under heavy shade but caught in a sunbeam.
Kingfisher
| |
|
|
|
I've been trying to get good photographs of Kingfishers for a while now. This is one of the best so far, spotted in the Forest of Dean, Gloucestershire, UK
