Flats

Block of flats in London, looking out over the Thames. How could I resist the pattern..?

Stone head

Sometimes, if you squint, it's possible to see shapes in rocks and clouds. This stone head, however, requires very little squinting or imagination.... Found on Jersey.

Close-up fly

One of those rare instances where circumstances conspire to allow me to achieve shallow depth-of-field with my consumer camera. The fly on the ear is like icing on the cake, of course!

Danger, danger...!

Another in my theme: warnings-series. This time taken on Guernsey.

Chestnut

Clearly, this old chestnut in Greenwich has seen some hard times over its life....

Keep off the grass

Pretty hard to overlook, this bright blue warning sign in the middle of a very green field.

Spider's web

A--thankfully uninhabited--spider's web covered in tiny dew droplets. It's amazing how difficult it is to focus on something so ethereal with a consumer camera...!

Polite notice

The "polite notice" provides the finishing touch to this request. Also, from a psychological/communications viewpoint, wording it as a positive "Please keep your dogs under control" is a lot more effective than a negative would've been (i.e. "Don't let your dogs run free" or something along those lines).

Hitchcock'ian scene

Found this slightly Hitchcock'ian scene in Guernsey. Luckily for me, these were harmless birds taking a breather :)

Nature's course

This thing that happens when you let nature take its course....

Tree roots

For today, Random.org gave me another tree picture. This time: the moss-covered roots of this tree in the woods near Chedworth, UK.

Footprints

This beach on Jersey was obviously a popular spot for people to take a walk during low tide.

Gnome

Spotted among the ruins of Hailes Abbey. It was such an odd sight, I had to take a picture.

Double fruit

Back after a two-week absence and visit to the UK (with lots of new photographs). And lo and behold! Random gave me one of the new pics to share.

Taken in Royal Botanic Gardens, London.
