This is one of my innocuous nature shots that seem to do so well on Flickr. I like ’em, so it pleases the heck out of me that others do too…

The snow may have been in retreat, but after a frosty night, it wasn’t giving up without a fight…

This tree has the extreme misfortune to grow where the wind is perpetual and the fog turns to ice. And I had the misfortune of freezing my bollocks off taking its picture…

Photography: Winter or Spring?
Question: Which season paints the prettier picture – Winter or Spring?
Well I guess the answer to that depends on which picture was taken during the Winter months; and which was shot in Spring? Yep, you’re right; the vagaries of English weather have turned the seasons inside out. The picture directly above originates in January: the one above it in March. So, I imagine, any preference comes down to whether you like sunshine or snow. Me – I can’t choose between them. Â

Summer Loves: Winter Spurns
Just look how close these chummy summer trees have become…
But watch how they behave when winter comes…

Wallpaper 447: Late to Bed
I was up early enough to catch this little guy making his way home. I had to use all of my 50X zoom lens to ‘see’ through all the dead wood and bushes to get this; but as I did so, I realised that this was the first daytime badger I had ever seen in my sixty-one years on this planet. I’ll have to get up early more often.
