Some photos that have never before seen the light of day,
in no particular order.
Queen Anne's Lace
(Daucus carota)
a favourite wild plant of mine
but here pushed into a new form.
Queen Anne's Brocade perhaps?
If you wait on as many railway stations as I do
then it won't be long before you try a shot like this.
One of Mr Branson's express trains hurtles through.
Bikes and railings hung with posters;
it's got to be Cambridge.
Mr Heron patiently awaits dinner
at Fowlmere RSPB
A modern shopping arcade
in Cambridge.
Angles, shadows, lights, reflections;
the whole works.
Something fishy stirred up the mud in the shallows
leaving these little scraps of vegetation
floating like ornate hieroglyphics,
whose meaning is yet to be deciphered.

Torn poster.
For no particular reason.
Take care.
I like the photo of Mr Heron but the Queen Anne's Lace one is fabulous, I love the effect you've got, it really does look like embroidery.
ReplyDeleteGreat shots and processing. You have a great eye for photography. Love the speeding colourful train in a black and white scene.
ReplyDeleteI think my favourite is probably Mr Heron, although I love them all. agree with diane b.
ReplyDeleteA great set of photos. Torn between nature & human endeavour in choosing my favourite. But I'm going for the torn poster. I've seen Pop Art like that, can't remember the artist.
ReplyDeleteCommenting again: Just caught up with older posts. Looks like you've had a great time, music and dancing. I would have enjoyed all that. Plus love the shadow photos.
ReplyDeleteSuch interesting photos and I think Queen Anne's Brocade is a perfect title for the first one. The heron brings me to my South Carolina home. Twice a day when the tide is out herons are a familiar shape fishing in the pools that are left among the grasses. They ignore us on the deck s few feet away and allow us to watch their lightning strikes to win their dinner.
ReplyDeleteGreat photographs here, "look up" as my friend Cara Courage puts it, seeing what most people miss.
ReplyDeleteNice collection of photos! I especially like the one of the train in motion.
ReplyDeleteSo different and yet all so good - the photos, I mean!
ReplyDeleteYou do have a wonderful view of the world around you. Art and beauty everywhere.
ReplyDeleteWonderful photos - I love Mr Heron and the Queen Anne Lace also the shopping arcade for its light, angles and reflections - all wonderful:)
ReplyDeleteMy favorite----floating scraps of vegetation

ReplyDeleteThat first shot is so cool, I love the colours! My favourite shot is definitely of the Heron, that's a lovely shot. - Tasha
ReplyDeleteA very artistic set of images John.
ReplyDeleteYour photos are wonderful, John - each seems to hold a story. My favorite is the scraps of leaves and stems - so delicate.
ReplyDeleteAll so different, but I would love to have the first in the form of fabric...it would make a beautiful print.
ReplyDeleteI think we should have this as a regular theme John.. 'Shots that didn't make the cut' :) these fabulous images deserve to be shown, j'adore the fishy hieroglyphics!
ReplyDeleteThis collection is GREAT! I'm wondering why you've been hiding them from us. ;)
ReplyDeleteI like posts like this that show a variety of lovely scenes. I like the things your eye catches!!
