The ruins of Hopton Castle in Shropshire from a couple of years ago. I thought it might look very moody in 'sepia' too. #Photography #Landscape #Castle #History #Shropshire #WelshMarches #CivilWar

The ruins of Hopton Castle, Virtually cube shaped remains of the keep, with a large hole in one side. Several small slit like windows can be seen also
The remains stand on top of a small grassy mound with hills and trees in the background and a blueish cloudy sky above

The same photo but turned into a 'sepia' image, looking rather dark and moody

Seen on the side of a road in rural Shropshire... Quite bizarre! #Photo #phonephotography #Shropshire #Art #Bizarre

A strange scene at the side of a road.
Several old wooden garden chairs each with a paid of stuffed jeans or trousers looking like legs and shoes or boots on the end
Each 'body' has been replaced with a pot full of flowers.

I think the ducks today were trying to tell me something this morning! 🦆😂 #Photography #Birds #Ducks

3 ducks in a pond, 2 with their heads underwater and their derrières sticking up out of the water.

Bees have eye hairs that shield them from pollen. I took this image with my Canon EF 100mm f/2.8L IS USM macro lens and a Raynox DCR-250 (2.5x). #naturephotography #nature #wildlifephotography #wildlife #macrophotography #macro #eastcoastkin #bees #photography

Narrowboat on the Worcester and Birmingham canal, on the outskirts of Worcester, and a hay bale in a field on the opposite bank. #Photography #Landscape #Narrowboat #Canal #harvest #Hay #Countryside #Water #Boat #Worcester

A narrowboat chugging away in the middle of a canal. There is a man at the rear steering and a lifebelt and pedal cycle on the roof of the boat.
The towpath is on the right of the picure bending away to the middle of the picture in the distance.
Trees and rushes can be seen on either side.
There is a pipe, which I believe is a gas pipe, suspended above the canal in the distance with a lone walker beneath it on the towpath

A large round hay bale in a field, trees behind it and a flat, light sky above.
Foreground is out of focus, closer vegetation

A narrowboat chugging up the canal near Sixways stadium in the outskirts of Worcester (UK) #Photography #Landscape #Canal #Water #Boat #narrowboat #Summer #Worcester #UK

A narrowboat on a canal, reflected somewhat in the nearly still water.
It has just passed under an old brick arched bridge. There are 2 people on the front of it and 2 others walking along the tow path on the left hand side.
Rushes can be seen on the opposite side of the canal and bushes next to the tow path on the left.
A couple of trees, one on each bank grow across looking as if they may touch each other framing the boat, bridge and walkers

So, here's a pair of mating pond skaters . On the canal just outside of Worcester (UK) Surface of the canal is so calm it appears as if they're on a mirror. #macro #photography #nature #wildlife #insect #bugs

A pair of pond skater insects mating on the surface of a canal, a smaller one is on the back of a slightly larger one, their legs spread out across the murky surface of the water. The water gives the appearance of a dirty mirror.

A pond skater(?) on the surface of the canal in the outskirts of Worcester (UK). The water so still, and it's legs making no impression on the surface tension of the water it looks as if it's standing on a mirror. #insect #photography #macro #bug #canal

The water surface is so still it looks as if it's actually standing on a mirror.

New toy today. Can't afford to splash out on a real 500mm+ lens so took a punt on a Jintu 500mm manual focus mirror jobby. (Previously owned a Cassegrain telescope which was fine) Pigeon on the fence at the end of the back yard, handheld, looks OK. #photography #wildlife #pigeon #birds

A rather surprised looking pigeon sitting on a fence, it has its beak open and its back to the camera. There is a sprig of ivy growing along the top of the fence. the background is blurred leaves with a lot of blurred circular bokeh effects (Circular caused by the mirror lens)

A blue Damselfly a couple of years ago at a nature reserve just outside of Bridgnorth in Shropshire. I've been a couple of times this year but have not seen any... Possibly because all of the ponds appeared to dry up last year 😒 #Photography #Damselfly #Nature #Insect

A blue damselfly resting on to top of a green shoot, its wings folded back almost against its body background is the blurred surface of a pond with quite a strong bokeh effect from reflections of the sun.
