The first day of 2025 has been wet and miserable, so I thought I'd dig out my macro lens and a ball of wool I've been saving, and produce something bright and colourful. I hope I've been successful. Thanks for looking..!!

I spotted this bit of driftwood that someone had propped up against the sea wall in Dell Quay. I thought it had the most marvellous shapes and textures, so decided to grab a photo to share! I've added a couple of notes to indicate the shapes I see in the wood..!! Best viewed large for detail.

I borrowed some of my wife's scarves (and her winter hat) to create this collage of macro images.

Nature's artwork.......textures and colour! Best viewed large I think.

All taken in Dell Quay, West Sussex in the boat yard. The larger image is part of a wooden post that had been set on fire late last year. The other two are from a large piece of driftwood (an old tree trunk) that had washed up on the shore. I did not have a macro lens with me so I used my 12-40mmm zom lens which has pretty good close focusing. Best viewed large.

I spotted this at the edge of a field near Rowlands Castle, Hampshire where I had parked up to take some photos,. It looks as if it's been there for a while and I thought the cut surface made an interesting natural abstract. Best seen large on black, if you have time.

This is a bench with a missing part.............and you can clearly see that a plant has taken advantage of the empty space. I hope this still counts. Happy (Incomplete) Bench Monday everyone. Thank you to everyone who has visited my photo-stream over the past week particularly if you have left a comment or a yellow star! Have a good week ahead. In the PiP you will see a collage of four images.......all of various parts of the seat back on this incomplete bench. Thanks for looking.

Definitely seen better days! Please view large, on black for best detail. Thanks.

I wonder how many coats of paint this pipe has had? Please view large, on black for best detail. Thank you.

On going restoration of paintwork on a boat, which I thought made a good abstract. Spotted in a small boatyard on the River Hamble.

Spotted this lovely wooden bench, and Iliked the subtle curves and the way the wood has been worn over the years.
