Hello again 🙂 Last week we made a return visit to stay at Johanna Beach which is near Cape Otway, part of The Great Ocean Road trail. Being the middle of winter the weather was very stormy with some very rough seas, which being from Swansea in the UK, I love. The sense of being a small part of a wild landscape is very thrilling 😀
As many of my posts show, I am particularly fond of dawn and early morning light, especially so in winter. I love the softness and low angles of the sunlight, the cold crispness of air juxtaposed with a sense of warmth. For me this image is the promise of a sunny winter day after a cold night…a Primrose in my garden yesterday morning 🙂
Hello again 😀 Early winter is here and most of the leaves of the deciduous trees have dropped and begun the cycle of decay that will provide nourishment for next year. Whilst walking last weekend I saw these yellow leaves lying among the decaying leaf litter making a striking contrast that caught my eye 🙂
The image for this post is a seed head from a Clematis plant. Quite difficult to photograph through the tangle of hairs, I loved the contrasting soft and hard structures within 😀
Hello! I hope everyone has had a good week – it is cold and wet here, very wintry. This image was taken late afternoon after a brief but intense thunder storm whilst we were staying at Johanna Beach near Cape Otway last month. The storms that came later that night were incredibly dramatic with lightening that lasted hours.
Hello to everyone! As I have often remarked on this blog, I am constantly amazed by the patterns in nature. I found this garland of different seaweeds on the foreshore which appears to have been shaped by the tide – there were no signs of disturbance in the sand, and I was so happy with my discovery 😀 😀 I love the beauty of the different shapes, textures and contrasting colours.
Hello everyone, I trust everyone has had a good week 🙂 The image I am sharing today is of the back of a leaf beautifully lit by the low autumn sunshine. The leaf was lying on a path and the fluffy texture and pattern are what caught my eye initially, the veins reminding me of a tree.
It’s been a very long time since I have posted anything –Â a lot has happened as I’m sure is the case for everyone. In August 2017 I received a diagnosis of primary breast cancer and 11 months after finishing active treatment I have recently had a diagnosis of secondary or metastatic breast cancer.
Thanks to a wonderful support network of family and friends I am very positive and decided to resume the blog and given the theme an update…getting out with my camera is a good thing and the blog is good motivation to do so 🙂
We recently had a wonderful stay at Johanna near Cape Otway and visited many of the beautiful beaches along The Great Ocean Road. At a small beach called Wild Dog Cove I found so many beautiful things – this is a wet feather with a guest attached!
Hello everyone!  Even though we are nearly at spring here, today winter is having her last say, we didn’t get above 4C all day and at one point with wind chill it was -6.6C!  Since I last posted I have been back to the UK for a very long overdue visit to see my family which was really fantastic but not so much for photography as the weather, considering it was the northern hemisphere summer, was diabolical!!  However, there were some nice days and the image I am posting today is of a little spider in my mum’s garden.  It was not long after sunrise and I loved the way the light allowed a wonderful view of the spider sitting on her web – the delicate tension waiting for a meal to come along.  Enjoy 🙂
