Another “free” week at Monochrome Madness. These are photos I took just outside our bedroom. Including a stalking predator.

A free Monochrome Madness week, free – to choose but not free of moss.
Monochrome Madness: Flowing Water Photographing flowing water is the bane of my photographic life. It just doesn’t look as I want it to look. In colour, it’s usually okay if it’s not the focal point. The flaws come more into focus in monochrome. Having said … Continue reading Aqua Spritz

It catches frogs, snap, snap, snap.
And it goes clap, clap, clap.
No, no, it’s Mrs Stork!
