Sometimes an image of a bird can be more artistic if it doesn't fill the frame of a photograph and you can find a suitable background to support it.

DeleteYou tend to get a bit use to the same scenes, but I always try and take something from a different angle.
Hey Roy... Wonderful time of year with all the shades of colors in the trees,flowers, fresh worked ground and etc. Very peaceful and serene scenes you have captured.

DeleteBeautiful images Roy,I particularly love the Goldfinch on wire, such a striking bird. You did so well to get the Starling and insect in the same image!
ReplyDeleteThanks Suzie.
DeleteLove the picture of the Ramsons, it is lovely to see the woodland floor covered with these. The Speedwell, I have in my garden which I have allowed to spread so I don't have so much grass to cut :-) I read they are annuals, so I hope my Speedwells keep up speeding along my lawn, what's left of it :-) Lady's Smock is one of my favourite wildflower.
ReplyDeleteThanks Lyn, yes I like Lady's Smock.
DeleteIt's great just to go for a walk with the camera and see what turns up. This is an amazing post in many ways.
