A single peacock feather against a blue sky with soft clouds. A relaxing image with the shimmering colours of peacock plumage.
The Shilka is a radar controlled anti aircraft gun system armed with four 23mm cannon capable of firing 4,000 rounds a minute to a range of 1.5 miles.
A still life of three very dusty bottles in an even dustier setting. This is a manipulated image - not a true photographic likeness.
Poppies seem to have the ability to spring up as if from nowhere then take over a whole field. This little group have reclaimed an area at the edge of a field. This image has several effects, textures and blends applied to it.
I am lucky enough to live in a place where nature is at home. Frogs are much undervalued as they are veracious predators of garden pests particularly fond of slugs. This is an 'in the wild' image. Frogs and toads are easy to distinguish - frogs have a more pointed nose and hop, toads have blunter noses and 'walk'.

This is a rope drum and hook from an overhead crane that was used inside a victorian industrial machinery room. Used to lift machinery parts it is now slowly gathering dust and cobwebs.
The Glasswing butterfly (Greta oto) lacks the coloured scales that give other butterflies their distinctive patterns. This means that unlike the 'normal' butterflies the wings of the Glasswing are see-through and this strategy helps them evade predation as prey animals literally see straight through them.
Just watching is a composition of two original photographs of mine. The window is from a castle ruin, the creature is a garden ornament photographed at my local garden centre.
Etching Hill started as an independent village centuries ago and over time has been enveloped by the adjacent town of Rugeley. The 'hill' is sandstone leading to literally its entire surface being covered in scratched graffiti.
This beautiful example of British engineering was literally parked at the side of the road today. I have modified the number plate to one that is no longer in existence.
On a recent walk I found this rather handsome common toad, Buffo buffo on the path.

The somewhat ironic warning sign that you may be about to enter a firing range.
Came across this road sign whilst touring Scotland. Oddly enough I can not find it anywhere in the Highway Code.
In the rather lovely town of Kirkby Stephen Frank's Bridge crosses the river Eden, one of only a few in the UK that flow south to north. This crossing is on one of the UK's coast to coast walks.
