As many people know, reflections fascinate me. This was one I found this week, and caught!

Project 365: Last Lap to Spring
March 15: The first really pretty tree in blossom that I had noticed this year.
March 16: Roots of geranium cuttings just stuck in water!
March 17: The afternoon sun catches these shiny ivy leaves.
March 18: Surprise! A present from a kind relative; I never knew the words ‘cake’ and ‘left over’ went together in the same sentence. She seemed to think they did. I didn’t argue.
March 19: Remember that drastically chopped back privet…? Well, look what’s happening to it now!
March 20: These birch trees seemed to be begging the Sun to give them their leaves back.
March 21: And we’re back to another of my favourite flowers. Spring has come.

This plant (periwinkle) grows wild in my dad’s garden. I think it’s quite pretty, though.
Project 365: Spring is Nearly Here!
4 March: An old gateway at the side of a churchyard; what stories could it tell?
5 March: In honour of my trusty conveyance passing its MOT test!
6 March: Quite literally, tete-a-tete!
7 March: It was bread that made all the commotion. A fast shutter speed (1/250 second) hasn’t altogether frozen the wing beats!
8 March: I love testing new light sources. This little table lamp is lit behind me now, as I type, fitted with an LED lamp, just 4.5 watts!
March 9: These are older than me, made of metal, and made in England!
March 10: Nature takes over in weeks, yet alone years. Who were the platelayers, long since passed on, who laid this?
March 11: This probably doesn’t mean what you’re thinking! ‘Run’ means that a motor will start and run if the button is pushed and released, until the stop button is pressed. ‘Jog’ means that the motor will only operate while the button is held down. This was part of a college course practical assignment, photographed before being dismantled!
March 12: There is so much ‘spare’ urban light at night, you can take pictures by it!
March 13: A warm and humid day made this amazing haze effect.
March 14: Fruit trees are seriously budding, now!

One day this past week, I was on a short routine journey over country roads, and had briefly stopped (yes, you’ve guessed it – to photograph something else!) when I looked round and saw this skyscape. I had literally seconds to capture it, before the drama was over. This is why I say that I collect moments.
Project 365: Forward (to) March!
I didn’t make the linky last week, so I’m playing catch-up a bit! Here, I’m doing what should have been last week’s, plus three extra! I’ve also kept up my ‘long, hard look’ theme, that is, using a 70-300mm lens.
February 22: Lungwort is one of my favourite spring flowers.
February 23: I find a mixture of natural and man-made shape and line can be fascinating. Here, the dusky sky made an eerie effect.
February 24: I was just in time to catch these two small clouds, lit up by the setting sun.
February 25: And these things that we take for granted, if we bother to consider them at all: we’d be in a mess without them, and the job they do, supporting overhead high-voltage cables and insulating them from the towers. Despite looking so insignificant, those on a 132,000 volt line are about the height of a man!
February 26: And now, looking down: a few hours of warmth, and this happens quickly to woodland floors!
February 27: Ornate buildings are fascinating by night. (Sorry about a bit of blur – this shot was hand-held!)
February 28: My old friend, the so-called Christmas rose. Mine always flower about now. Still, ‘somewhere-near-half-term rose’ hasn’t quite got it, has it?
March 1: This wasn’t actually at night – but I used flash to ‘freeze’ the movement of the catkins. March had come in with the lion. I hope that’s a good thing.
March 2: Remember those crocuses in bud? Here they are, opening. The very same ones.
March 3: Finally (for now) the birdie to watch to find the wind direction catches the spring sunshine.

Yesterday really felt like spring. This park is near to where my father lives. Just as I was watching these ducks and gulls, someone came by and threw pieces of bread into the air. This was the sudden, and often very funny, result!
