During our photography visit to Heber's Ghyll, I was not only looking for broader views but for small points of interest or 'intimate landscapes'. Here are a few that caught my eye:
- the beads of rain on the grasses, and the geometric arrangement of grass and stems,
- the bright new flowers of this plant, which I think is wood spurge (euphorbia),
- this fungus, which I believe is known by the very appropriate name of 'jelly ears', slightly repellant to me!
- the bright green of these 'hart's tongue' ferns, contrasting with the water below. They are far from perfect but I like the tinges of rust and amber.
- a pine cone lying on a mossy bed, which seemed a good candidate for a mono conversion,
- as did the remains of last autumn's leaves, decaying gently underfoot.
The jelly ear fungus reminds me of a James Herriot tale. The Yorkshire farmers then gave their cows names. One was called "Kipper Lugs", which amused me.
ReplyDeleteLovely details here. You sure have a good photographer's eye.
