Coming in to dock
Posted on April 25, 2024
A catamaran – used mainly for sunset cruises – comes in to doCK at Sir Bani Yas island in Abu Dhabi.
Wasps need nectar too
Posted on April 5, 2024
Wasps generally get a bad press, certainly compared to bees. In my view it’s entirely deserved, but hey, even guêpes are only following their natural instincts.
I suppose…
A Summer Morning At St Pancras
Posted on March 27, 2024
No, it’s not a church or cathedral. In fact, it’s St. Pancras railway station in London, the terminus for the Eurostar train service. Plenty of ‘A’s there for Cee’s latest Midweek Challenge.
Gone to seed
Posted on March 7, 2024
No, not me. Not quite yet, anyway.
What is this hideous-looking ‘thing’? A nameless creature breaking through from another dimension to wreak havoc and destruction on a helpless world?
Fortunately not. This is what happens when potatoes go to seed..
Budding
Posted on February 9, 2024
We’re getting towards the cusp of winter and spring now, and already new life is stirring in the undergrowth, as evidenced by the buds appearing on this blackthorn bush.
I decided to try and make a virtue of my inability to get sharp focus with the camera on my smartphone by taking advantage of the bokeh that this image provided (I say ‘bokeh’, you could reasonably say ‘blur’).
Murano Glass
Posted on January 4, 2024
A close-up view of a piece of glass from Murano reveals its extraordinary intricacy.
Geometric symmetry
Posted on December 28, 2023
The geometric forms in this half-timbered house in Chabanais chime well with the image that Cee has chosen for her latest Midweek Challenge.
I wonder if the house number is 29 (XXIX).

Grasshopper
Posted on December 6, 2023
This (deceased) grasshopper came to rest on the decking of our swimming pool. Even I had time to focus on it properly.
(Apologies to Cee for the creepy-crawly, but I don’t make a habit of it)
Chandelier
Posted on December 1, 2023
Cee’s midweek challenge theme this week is something that ends in the letter R. In retrospect, I could maybe have combined this image with her Fun Foto theme of any kind of light fitting.
Never mind. This is one of the chandeliers that hang in the prayer hall of the Grand Mosque in Muscat, the capital of Oman. I’ve thrown in the stained glass for free.
