Greenhouse Gone to Seed

This greenhouse has known better days and it is so sad to see the result after so little time's neglect.
Nature takes over and unless the site is redeveloped it will be interesting to see if  any beauty can replace the sadness and decline.
Greenhouses are my special theme this Autumn and this is the 2nd of my finds. Neglected - rather than cultivated is my theme. I wonder what that signifies~

Picnic

Family picnic on the grass today - Henry, the pet sheep included. Dogs had a good time too.

The Ringer

The photograph I took of The Ringer inspired me to make a picture - it took me a while to decide whether the bird was better as originally taken or to rotate. I did eventually rotate the bird and darken the whole image for dramatic effect.

Carol Tipping Photo Artist

So today is the start of something - Steven you asked to see my pics well you got it!

Yesterday I went to photograph very early in the morning - for me 7.15 am is very early! Dave was ringing the birds as they flew in to the net which was stretched across the channel in to the lake and I got pictures of a Chiff Chaff and a Blue Tit. The migration season might be a bit late now to get the hundreds of birds that flew in to the net in previous days. I loved to see the little bird, so fragile in Dave's big hands.
