TAKE THREE HUNDRED AND FORTY SIX

For Friday Feechurs each week, I can generally provide a view of blossoms or at least vegetation but this week I am also keeping the MENO blog company with its tales of Dunoon... It was mostly grey for my stay - but hey!  Bare trees count - don't they???



"...and this, our life, exempt from public haunt, finds tongues in trees, books in the running brooks, sermons in stones and good in everything."
(W. Shakespeare)


Taken with the 'Nik' on auto everything and lens extended 5x optical.

TAKE THREE HUNDRED AND FORTY FIVE

It's Thursday Challenge day again but I also have to factor in my week-long theme of shots from the Dunoon trip. The prompt is SHADOWS, be they intricate or simple.

... Against the fading winter sun, Silver Birch became her own shadow...











Or in YAM's case, left of field!  Taken with the 'Nik' on auto and lens extended to 10x optical.

This is NOT B&W shot - that's a true Scottish sky!

Wings on Wednesday -

YAM's take on the good, the bad, the ugly and the downright hilarious in respect to photographing birds.

Starting from yesterday, I am posting only from my recent trip to the West coast of Scotland.  If you want to know more about what is going on here, then visit HERE.

Taken with the 'Nik' on manual set at 400ISO and the lens extended to 15x optical...I was standing well back so as not to interrupt the action!

Now it's your turn - link up with offering of your attempts at ornithological photography - no matter how good the outcome!!

...and as the YAMarazzi pounded the streets of the quiet townlet there came a sight of fright...





I mean, seriously, one wig - maybe two - but five?  AND a spangled black curtain... all is not as it seems in the backwaters!

Taken with the 'Nik' on stealth mode...

Life surging forth from this heavily pruned eucalyptus tree.  It made a good sun-block!
