Closing my garden gate, I turn left, out towards the main road, and once it is safe to cross it, head off to walk to the edge of the village, where I take the path that skirts the edge of fields with hedgerows either side, and within thirty yards, the camera has found varied colours and shapes of leaves that bear the mixtures of varied Autumn hues from the still remaining greens mixed with elements of the true Season’s bronze and gold. The all important seeds for the coming year are also on show, hanging in anticipation that winds will aid their further dispersal.
Every so often the sun is momentarily covered by passing clouds, but predominantly the sun is shining and enhancing both the hues and textures that bring joy to artists and photographers. Time passes, and particularly at this time of year the ever-changing angle of the sunlight means our view of the scenes can appear and disappear in instants!
Luckily for me, there is a bird that shares my joy of these moments and is delighted to let me know and, anyone else within hearing distance, by shrilly sharing these moments by singing its little heart out; an energetic Robin! It even ensured it was able to reach a varied audience by flitting between different vantage points!
Rod it was lovely speaking to you today, im wondering do you have any pictures of somewhere local to myself which would be Ironbridge in Telford Shropshire.
ReplyDeletethanks Matt
Hi Matt,
ReplyDeleteSadly, the answer is negative, I am somewhat limited transport-wise currently and much as I would love to visit Telford again, it will be a while before my car is back on the road, but not because it is in any way damaged.
Simply because I have let the tax and insurance lapse and it has stressed me so much that I am awaiting the time one of my daughters can sort it for me - so ‘tis the pony owned by Mr Shanks for a while longer!
But thank you for your comment. And I hope to be active with my cameras ere too long!
Rod
