Free-standing

The last photo I took in September, with my trusty iPhone 14 Pro, was this image of a stone archway in the village of Rancon.
The rules of Bushboy’s Last Photo Challenge are that you present that last photo ‘warts and all’, as it were. In other words without any editing.
So that’s what I’ve done here. However, on closer inspection I was so struck by the image that I’ve also smartened it up for the latest Lens-Artists Challenge. You can find that version here.
Just Another Broken Heart…

Well, a fallen rose petal anyway.

Return of the orange poppies
Posted on June 1, 2024
(Yes, it’s flowers again – deal with it.)
About five years ago we (i.e. Madame) scattered a packet of orange poppy seeds in what we’re pleased to call our garden. For the next three years they went viral – dozens (maybe more – I never actually counted them) of them.
Then nothing last year. However, they’re back again, with a handful appearing in one of our raised beds. This is one of them, preparing to unfold.
Reaching for the sun
Posted on April 2, 2024
This is the last photo I took in March. It’s a view from the back door of our house and I was struck by the way that the sunlight was striking the upper branches of these trees.
It could certainly benefit from some editing but the ‘Last Photo’ rules are clear: this is how it turned out.
Last On The Card: Moonshot
Posted on January 2, 2024
I captured this view of a bright moon, partly obscured by light clouds, on my way to put out the bins. How prosaic.
(My hands must be steadier than I thought: exposure time was 0.5 seconds)

All-Day Ovine Buffet

The commune in which we live consists mostly of agricultural land, principally for pasture and mainly for sheep. This particular field is adjacent to the village recycling point.
Calf’S Head
Posted on March 2, 2023
With one eye on the calendar and the other on Bushboy’s ‘Last Photo On The Card’ challenge, on February 27th I took a perfectly pleasant picture of an oak leaf encased in ice. “That’ll do nicely”, I thought to myself.
However, the following day we visited our local butcher (a proper butcher, not a counter in a supermarket). When we entered the shop, one of the butchers was setting about this with a very sharp knife.
We’ve seen worse.
