This is the first follow up photo from the Rhinefield multi-directional, Long exposure, ICM Bridge photo emulation attempt. Although not looking like the one I'd seen after several attempts I quite liked the way this turned out.

This is the first of 4 photos here as a straight forward image. This is the bridge over Flechs Water which goes on to join other forest streams to become the Lymington River.

Whatever Nigel Farage might want to Reform
it's certainly not the swamp of
expenses fiddling, 2nd homes trading,
tax avoiding, grifting, nepotistic,
policy buying, peerage-for-sale corruption
which pervades UK politics -
he's in it up to his neck!

The delicate yellow flower of a cucumber. These take time to start but then produce well. If lucky and live in a European country where truly fresh fruit and veg are available you might not appreciate just how delightful it is not to be forced to buy them repackaged from the supermarket.

The couple on a bench. Grantown-on-Spey, Scotland. Wandering the streets of my last camping location in Scotland last year I caught this pair of locals enjoying the warmth of an overcast day.

A female Buff-Tailed Bumble Bee (Bombus terrestris) arriving, pollen baskets already laden at a Purple Loosestrife flower to sip nectar. Not long now until spring sproings.

This road is lined with old Beech trees planted by the then owner of Kingston Lacy House William Bankes as gift to his mother and to line the toll road which would earn him money. There were 365 trees on one side of the road and 366 on the other. Why?

After yesterday's Grey Heron today a pretty relative, the Little Egret in fluffed up mode. I love trying to photograph these beautiful birds as that brilliant white plumage presents a challenge.
