“Depth”
Deep down on the sea bed
Eager crustaceans
Play cat and mouse with
The fishermen up above them, and
Hoping they avoid the fishermans traps as they
Scurry along the sandy sea bed

“Weather”
5th February 2019
“Red skies at Night, Shepherds Delight…..“
This old phrase is still around today.
It was the shepherds way of telling fine weather – a red sky at night normally foretold of fine weather next morning
Whilst a red sky in the morning, normally was followed by grey clouds in the skies above. It gave the shepherd time to get his flock onto lower ground and avoid an immediate drenching 🙂
We’re not out of winter yet in the UK, no matter what the met office say, and I’ve known it snow in March, despite it being technically Spring.

“Move the Camera”
Its funny how a couple of steps, or a turn of the body can change the view of what you are capturing.
I was stood by the pontoon of the watersports centre on Salford Quays, when the Canada Geese came up the centenary walkway for their elevenses.
In they came one after the other, heading for a grassy spot by the pontoon where a water bailiff had generously left some bird food across it. They all ate like royalty, and then waddled back down the walkway to the watersports centre, where they hopped in and out of the canal basins

“Breaking the rule of thirds”
a thought from inky.
Just because there’s rules – doesn’t mean i have to follow them all the time
The Tree was Just asking to have its photo taken
even if it was sitting in the wrong spot
I couldn’t uproot it – so i just took the picture
So much could have gone wrong – a gust of wind, a moving tram, a busted ankle
but in the end – i got a result – a lovely pic of the Cherry Tree

“Balance”
#Challenge30 #photography #balance
They say the economy’s stable…
tell that to the change on the corner of my bedside table
I took it out of the pocket of a pair of trousers i threw into the laundry and they landed on the table like this
The coinage will, of course be spent sometime soon – or stuck in the piggybank. But for now they sit on the corner of my unit
Balancing like acrobats at a circus.

“Shadow”
Sun light has a wonderful artistic temperament
Holding images from objects below it
As the suns rays fall to the floor,
Drawings of things around and about appear
On the ground nearby
When the light goes, they disappear till the moonbeams appear

Food…..or should I say Foooood!
I could be some time with this particular part of the challenge !(sic)
I mean where to begin – I’m a bit of a foodie. I enjoy my food – not just the meats but the pasta and vegetables as well. Christmas time sees a smorgasbord of delights, from Spiced Ham to cheesy pasta bakes – not forgetting of course Christmas pudding and Battenburg Cake
My Nephews are partial to a bit of Jelly and custard at Christmas, and for the adults aside from the Christmas pud, there’s usually the Content for a trifle on the go. But this year they helped make something really special – a tray of gingerbread men…now I don’t know if any of them escaped the Christmas table but one or two of them definitely did a disappearing act…

Older than me
For this challenge, I scoured the archive of my photos looking for an old photo…..I didn’t find one (Ha Ha) but among my archive I did find this
The old spire of Stowell Memorial Church
Just up the road from where I live in Salford. It was built in the 19th Century, and the spire still shows the date on when it was first built.
Upon its decommission as a church the spire was given a bit of a spruce up and is now a local landmark by the entrance to the motorway.
I wrote an acrostic on the spire – and you should find it below in the related section.

“Reflection”
Taken on location in Basic’s Enchanted Garden, there’s a few reflections in this bauble!
