Fresh Cabbage
Posted on March 3, 2022
Who knew? Even cabbages can be interesting when you get up close to them – especially when they are as good and fresh as these, seen on a stall at the excellent Saturday market in Perigueux.
Oryx at rest

An Arabian oryx takes it easy in the game reserve on Sir Bani Yas Island in Abu Dhabi.
Keep It Clean

Will that ice cream be consumed before any of it drips onto that turquoise polo shirt?
Of course. Never in doubt.
Swatters

A close-up look at a small sample of our collection of colourful fly swatters. Hopefully, the fly gets an even closer view – although they usually get away.
Petrified
Posted on January 28, 2022
Near the village of Savonnières-Villandry there is a network of caves in which a constant process of petrification is going on. Any object that is left inside is slowly but inexorably turned to stone through a continuous process of petrification.
Adaptation

This rather stark, quasi-abstract image obviously requires some explanation. It’s a skyscape of course, but the cables are what carry the electricity from the nearest substation – about three miles away – to the outlying hamlets, including Tranquility Base.
These cables are strung from a long line of concrete posts that run all the way along the side of the road. Except in this case the post has been replaced by what can only be described as a forked tree branch, incongruous among the concrete. I suppose they know what they’re doing.
The chemtrail of the plane passing overhead is important in adding depth and context to the image.

White swans
Posted on January 16, 2022
This week, I present a rare example of me multi-tasking. The image of these swans was captured by the lake next to Linlithgow Palace and it fulfils the criteria not only for Cee’s Midweek Challenge, where the prompt was ‘white’, but also her Black & White Challenge, for which the theme was ‘birds’.

For Cee’s December midweek challenge – ‘must begin with R’. Take your pick.
Red, of course
Posted on December 16, 2021
What’s your favourite colour, Cee wants to know for her latest midweek challenge.
Easy. Red, of course.
