While flies *inside* my house drive me batshit, flies *outside* are stunning. Look at the iridescence on the humble common green bottle😍!

It's so noisy today, I wish I could sit in the forest and hear only the plants growing.

Black and white photograph of 3 leaves on a path. The rain has left them dirty and stuck flat to the ground.

The youngest saw this and asked 'is this from olden times?'

What a weird blip in human history - relatively short time with mostly b&w, then the same in colour and now kids think everything was in b&w before they were born

Black and white photograph looking along the canal towards Wolverhampton city centre. There's a procession of frames carrying the overhead cables for the train. The centuries old brickwork is graffitied and the rest of the landscape is a mix of scrub and industry

The geese continue to thrive and are starting to feel a little intimidating.

#photography #blackandwhite #bwphotography #geese #canadagoose #birds #wildlife #uk #westmidlands #canal #outside #nature
Black and white photograph of a lot of Canada geese walking towards the camera. The geese are in a field bordered by trees, the sky is mostly clear with a few wispy clouds.

Everything is awful so why not stop and smell the roses?

#photography #nature #roses #floral #flowers #uk #outside
Colour photograph of a cluster of small (5cm diameter or less) roses in a rose bush. The roses are cream with pinkish outer petals and a more warm cream centre.

Even if I'm feeling both physically wrecked and mentally low I always get a boost pootling along the canal.

Disappointed Heretic didn't have Hugh Grant talk about Akhenaten but I guess you'd be less inclined to give any mental leeway for him to have found a religion outside of himself. Sketch unrelated, was thinking about the film while finishing it

Bad weather this month so far. Still waiting for a really good thunderstorm to enjoy.

Walking under mackerel skies

#outside #photography #blackandwhite #bwphotography #canal #clouds #uk #landscape #nature #weather
Black and white photograph of a section of wyrly and essington canal i walked today. The sky is covered in rows of high clouds with sky showing in-between, hence the folk name of mackerel clouds as they resemble the pattern on the side of mackerel.

Does anyone else uneasily wonder how close their body is to the Ship of Theseus instead of just emptying the damn dishwasher?

Learned this is a rowan tree blossoming. Over 40 and I still don't know all my trees 😢 but I was thinking of making it a project this year, to learn my local flora.

Centred colour photograph of a rowan blossom. The white/cream flowers are just beginning to open.

I've had The Moss by Cosmo Sheldrake (and he IS related to Merlin Sheldrake of mushrooming fame!) stuck in my head for about 4 days now.

An unaltered image from my morning walk. I always feel dizzy looking up, looking at the full photo i guess it's because the perspective doesn't make sense?

#photography #spring #nature #trees #oak #sunlight #uk #outside
Colour photograph of oak trees looking up at the crowns. The perspective makes it look like one tree is growing up from the bottom and a other is somehow growing down from the sky.

A late tulip.

#photography #blackandwhite #bwphotography #floral #flowers #tulip #nature
Black and white photograph of a fairly open white tulip as seen from above. The flower is centred and takes up most of the image. It looks slightly like crumpled paper ball.

Who else stamped little circles all over their arms with dandelion stalks?

Going to have to ban myself from taking photos of these for a bit. Although now I've said that part of me wants to double down.

Cleaning up in here and found this little dude. I can't decide what colours to use🤔

#art #model #clay #spirit #eyes #wip
Colour photo of an unpainted clay model held in my right hand. The background is out of focus but clearly chaotic clutter. The model is of an animals head (dog?) with many bulging eyes around it, not just in the usual places.

I feel like a complete luddite saying this but I don't like using references on a screen. I have a little notebook that I print off and glue a lot of references in and when I feel restless and a bit directionless I just pick something and go

While I haven't been posting, I still have been taking photos all over the place so now I have to exercise self restraint and not dump them all at once. I have no 'moderation' setting 🫣

There's so many daisies some sections of grass look like a light snowfall.

Facebook thinks I'm a horse person. Or maybe they just want to turn me into one? Does it hinder the revolution if we're trying to keep money pits on legs alive?

Dear #NEISvoid, I have been sick for nearly a week and I am exhausted because coughing has made my ribs do a teeny tiny subluxation, just that fun little out and in, which in turn makes breathing feel like I'm being stabbed and nerve pain down my arms to my thumbs. The glory of hEDS!
