Waiting ...
Nikon D80, ISO 200, f8, 1/1500 sec, 450mm efl, Capture NX2
Taken today on Mill Road in Oxford. Just for a change, we have had a lovely three days of sunshine and perhaps a little more to come (and a few more pictures).

Morning mist on the first hole
Canon PowerShot A590 IS, ISO 80, f5.5, 1/400 sec, 140mm efl, Capture NX2
I was doing a recon' for a job at the local golf course - that's why I was early, thats why I was only carrying the little Canon. But even a little point and shoot can do pretty well - in the full size picture, you can see the sunlight catching the dew-drops on the grass by the first tree! As someone else has said, "the best camera is the one you have with you".

Spike and sting
Nikon D80, ISO 200, 1/60 sec, f16, 277 mm efl, Capture NX 2
What wonderful design this thistle has; seed pod thoroughly protected by an array of the sharpest spikes possible, yet the flower is hoisted well above the danger where Mr Sting can feed and get covered by pollen.

Kawaupaka
Nikon D80, ISO 100, f8, 1/350 sec, 300mm efl, Capture NX 2
This little fella, "Kawaupaka" (aka. "Little shag"), was a complete poser as he dried his feathers in the sun while keeping an eye on the bald guy with the camera.

Just one sunrise
Nikon D80, ISO 100, f11, 1/250 sec, 150mm efl, Photomatix Pro 3. Capture NX2
The courgettes were all drinking up the sun this morning, highlighting the colours and textures. It's amazing to think that, by lunchtime these huge flowers had all withered and died - their moment in the sun at an end.

All Red and Yellow
Nikon D80, ISO 100, f5.6, 1/1,000 sec, 66 mm efl, Capture NX 2
Taken this afternoon at a rather overcast Woodend Beach - the bright colours made up for the lack of sun. There is another picture; "One life to guard" in the "Phoxford Gallery"

Castle Hill
Nikon D80, ISO 100, f11, 1/125 sec, 90 mm efl, Capture NX 2
Yesterday we escaped the drizzly dreariness of the plains to find a few moments of sun up at Castle Hill where we wandered among the limestone rocks and took some pictures.

It's the sort of picture that could spark a thousand stories ... (if you have that sort of imagination).

Guardians
Nikon D80, ISO 200, f8, 1/350 sec, 300mm efl, Capture NX2
I was out walking today when this 'Darth Vader' like stone caught my eye. It seemed to be standing guard by the iron gate, but between the hardness of the stone and the iron there were these daisies - little yellow-hearted contradictions.
"If you love me
Bring me flowers
Wild daisies
Clutched in
your fist
Like a torch ... " (from "Wild daisies" by Bub Bridger)

We can work it out
Nikon D80, ISO 200, f2.8, 1/350 sec, 75mm efl, Capture NX2
I took this one last month; last night I saw another picture in it and reworked it to focus attention on the hands and the eyes - looking down and looking up.
