It survives

It is strong enough to survive and tough enough to protect itself.

Attenborough Nature Reserve

Today, I popped in Attenborogh Nature Reserve, south of Nottingham.  Not really good point to shoot this time. In fact, my sunglasses were not with me and I could not concentrate to take many photos in such a bright sunlight.  So  I took this photo quickly and came back.

If you want to know about that nature reserve, please visit  here.

A log in the twilight

It was in the late evening. I was on my own in the park. I found this log along the foot path. This is the end of a big tree. I am sure it used to be a house of hundreds of  wild birds. It used to be a shadow tree. Now it is just a log. What would be the next?

A cemetery

Be peaceful, be courteous, obey the law, respect everyone; but if someone puts his hand on you, send him to the cemetery.

A squirrel in the Blue pool

It was in Dorset’s blue pool ( 18/07/2009). Forest around the pool is inhabited by grey squirrels, rabbits, badgers, numerous rare birds,  the green Sand Lizard and the smooth snake ,  dragon flies  and the Sika deer.

Yes, as its name, the water color of the pool is blue. Apparently, it changes from one color to another depending on weather.

Set north of the Purbeck Hills between Wareham and Corfe Castle off the A351.

The Blue Pool at Furzebrook  constantly varies in colour. Very fine clay in suspension in the water diffacting light in different ways producing a spectrum of colour sometimes green sometimes turquoise.

Set in a deep clay bowl steps lead down to the waters edge or up to views of the Purbeck Hills, The Pool is surrounded by 25 acres of heath woodland and gorse interlaced with sandy paths  that seem to take you to another world. More

River Usk

Wales is the nation with loads of natural beauty, amazing wild life, unspolied areas of river sides and seasonal flowers all along the roads. This is the photo of River Usk in south Wales. You can see some haze. Yes, it was drizzling when I was there.

It starts from the Carmarthen Fans mountains of mid-Wales, flowing south-east through Brecon, Abergavenny, Usk and Newport and ending at the Severn estuary at Uskmouth.
