Photography
Eyeballed at morning coffee today by the female of the pair of blue tits who frequent my garden.
As with humans, portraits of animals are best given not taken. It's a treat and a privilege to exchange glances with a wild animal like this.
Tits pair for life, this pair have been around me here for several years now.
Green finches in the bird bath in my garden. Social birds but also quite competitive. Tempting to impute human characteristics to their little faces...
Dawn view from over Falmouth Bay and featuring the deck cargo ship Black Marlin at anchor just East of Lizard Point. A fine view for breakfast of our last day The ship is 218m length and registered in Curacao. Gardens on the south coast of Cornwall benefit from the warmth of the Gulf Stream... as well as plenty of moisture from clouds arriving from over the Atlantic Ocean.
My treatment of a photo of biker Jon on his BMW motorbike in London. The original was his phone photo dating from 2011, which initially didn't look all that promising. Basically Photoshop work with quite a lot of manual intervention.
