The Camera In My Pocket 2023/24

Haha, yeah until they start eating stuff other than the grass! Then I suspect it'll be a rather large Sunday lunch!

 

@latimer lovely to see the photo of Latimer House. My aunt used to live in Penn, and I remember as a child the tall chimneys of Latimer House.

 

A beautiful day on the island of Tiree on Saturday. One of the days when it lived up to its name of the sunshine isle.

 

That’s a fantastic view @Scotmac. (Your photo would make a good entry in this month’s photography competition!)

 

The replacement for our local news last Monday[?] was a repeat of an episode of Sean's Scotland, the tv series he did a while ago - he's the usual weatherman on STV news. It was the one from Tiree, and I'd seen it before, but it was far more enjoyable than the news anyway!

Lovely pic

 

@fairygirl I know the episode you mean. I have relatives in it. At least it would have been more positive than most news stories.

 

How lovely @Scotmac . Yes- a lovely episode. Plenty of sun and blue sky, and that beautiful sea
...and yes- definitely more positive than the news!

 

This afternoon I went for a walk along a section of the Wirral Way, a former railway line, mostly the small paths leading to it, with photos of wildflowers, the estuary and a seagull! It was good to feel a sense of spring in the air .

 

Some scenes from a recent local coastal walk.

Walking on water.



Driftwood.



Sand meets sky.



Friendly round here!



More driftwood.



Some coastal wildflowers which I previously posted on the Close Ups of Flowers thread.

 

Autumn has arrived in New York, the gold autumn light makes for some beautiful sunsets, further complimenting the foliage. Image taken at second pond, Grafton Lakes State Park, Grafton, NY.

 

Beautiful @hydrogardener. The autumn light is always rather special I think.
We've had some lovely sunrises and sunsets here recently, but it's hard to get a decent pic as there's also a lot of mature trees in the way, and other properties.
I liked this one I took at the end of September from my kitchen window, at about 7.00 am


and I caught this one of the moon in mid September at about half 7 in the evening

 

Another local walk yesterday, around Ness Botanic Gardens to see the early Autumn colour. The gardens are on a 60 acre site overlooking the River Dee on the Wirral.

 

Some more photos of Ness.

 

Very nice photos @fairygirl I love the birds on the rooftop.

 

Thank you @hydrogardener. The aerials slightly spoiled the look, but it was quite atmospheric, if a little Hitchcock-ian!
I was lucky with the moon shot. It's always hit and miss with those. I know there's some faffing you can do to get them properly, but I can never remember how to do it.

Just went to get another cup of tea, and the kitchen was full of the pink glow from another sunrise. Only one crow sitting on a rooftop aerial this time.
