LADY IN RED
Originally uploaded by KTDEE.......back now and then
While out for a walk I saw this water trail and it led me to the Lady in Red with her dog who had obviously been swimming in the streem.

Old Bicycle

I found this while on a walk along the canal.

Cone

Another captured in the garden centre recently.

Picnic Bench

We have had a few weeks of snow.
It just start to clear when down it comes again followed by the frost.
While walking in the park this picnic bench in the snow caught my eye.

Broken Tree

Found this broken snow covered branch while out for a walk yesterday.
Taken in our local park.

Common Nettle

Common stinging nettle but I just liked the leaf shadow on the larger leaf.

Wild Berries

Wild berries taken on a day in the countryside

Grass going to Seed

Mammoth

A Mammoth is a large extinct elephant with a hairy coat and curved tusks.
On my day out 'photo hunting' with my friend Loretta I found this one on top of Mammoth Hill at the Watermead Country Park , Birstall. He was quite happy to pose for me, lol.

Watermead is a two mile long park, with a wetland area and lakes. An ideal spot for walking, fishing, cycling, picnics, birdwatching and watersports. Plenty ducks and swans on the lake, and loads of dragonflies. It is adjacent to the canal and a river.

Sunshine before the Rain.

A view of the countryside near here. This is a field of rape ripening.

My Friend

Made a friend with this animal while out in the countryside. He was very curious....was it me or the camera that was the attraction?

Fox on Thatched Roof

This was taken in Birstall, Leicestershire on Saturday while on a day out with a friend. I thought it looked good especially the finishing touch of the fox on the roof.

Visitor

Pat and I went out into the country on Tuesday for a photoshoot morning. I found this wild flower but before I could snap it along came the visitor, that was an added bonus. Managed to get a few other pics and they may follow on in a few days time.

Spreading Tree

Here is another try on the silhouette theme. I know that people choose trees more than any other subject for silhouettes, but I had to give it a try.

Tree in Winter

Trying a bit of Lucis on this photo to see what the effect is.
Quite pleased with my first try.

Mr & Mrs Swan

Taken while out for a trip into the countryside. A man on the estate told me the swans had 6 chicks this year and they all disappeared one night. Very sad.

SPIKEY PLANT

While on a countryside walk I snapped this. I have not idea what it is, except it was growing in the hedgerow.

CANAL BRIDGE

Canal bridge in the Aylestone area of Leicester.

CANAL BOAT

Shady spot to be moored in along the canal,
