Odd Shots

Odd shots....some very odd indeed! The question which interests me at the moment is this: When I go out to take pictures is it better to have a preconceived idea of what I'm after - or not? Well, first of all if I don't have some reason to go out then I'll probably sit at home drinking tea and eating biscuits. But once I've got the boots on where shall I go? Then should I stick to my original idea? - Can I stick to my original idea? I've never been a man to get all his ideas from one place. The fact is I always wander off track, literally and figuratively, and I sometimes end up with - well, odd shots.

I went out to photograph some snowdrops

but of course I digressed

(somewhat)
to other flowers

dying roses

take on the appearance of 

rusted metal

and rusted metal takes on

an appearance

all of its own,

except when it looks like a prehistoric bird

a cormorant perhaps

and speaking of birds

the robin,

there's one singing in every cottage garden

it seems

and often there's

snowdrops too

or were those in

the Botanic Gardens

in Cambridge?

 there's certainly a fountain

where children play

(and grown-ups play

with images on their laptops)

letting imaginations run wild

so here's

another strange bird

from a tropical forest

perhaps

and there's a tropical storm brewing

or else

it's just evening falling over

Cambridge

'Night-night, little snowdrops'

Take care.
