Although this photography malarkey is really a selfish pastime for myself. I use the fact that I am walking the dog and taking photos as my escape for a while, to get out, and away from things, and if I am honest I prefer it when I am on my own and with the dog.
If I want to faff about taking snaps, and move around trying different angles, I can do that on my own, however if I am accompanied I am aware that they are not taking snaps, or don't want to slide down a muddy slope to get a waterfall snap. I was trying to get back up a slippy slope today and said to myself, I will be glad when I am to old for this, but to be honest I hope I never am, as, for a while, I am a big kid again. There is also the stretching of time element, I say to my wife as I shut the door on the way out "be about an hour", she knows I could be much longer than that, so doesn't ring for International Rescue two hours later.

Having done all that I am glad to be able to share my pictures, and to look at other people pictures, it is always interesting to see how other people take photos, and this gives me ideas as I hope mine do for other people.

The whole idea of this 'Today in Pictures' thread that you started Dave is inspiring to me, even though I don't often walk out and take pictures (I will work on that!). I was out for a drive today, and in the midst of all the grey that is November, I was looking out the car window and thinking to myself: that tree would make a great shot against that sky, or I wonder if my Accy Web friends would like this view. It's a way of being, a way of seeing the world, and I for one am grateful for it. Many thanks fellow photographers. :)

Today in Pictures, I thought I would keep Bob clean today, so chose the Coppice as it has hard footpaths. I turned up, there was diggers, tractors, trailers, dumper trucks, piles of stone, muddy tracks in fact it looked like a building site, they are laying hard surfaces right around the Coppice. It will be nice when completed, just a tad dirty at the moment..

1. Walking in the opposite direction to all the plant.
2. Some of the first paths put in as part of the regeneration.
3. I am on the top of one hill taking snaps of another hill.
4. The third reservoir down, reflections in the water and spire farm in the distance.
5. Water channelled for industrial use.
6. Wet water whizzing past.
7. The second reservoir with just a hint of ice on the water.
8. Frozen droplets, you can get cream for that.
9. By-pass on the left, and rolling countryside.
10. Groins, this stops the rising tide from removing the beach..........or..............stops the hillside eroding down the hill.

3 and 4 are just lovely... might be the lateness of the hour but in 5 I can see the top half of a dog's face... an eye each side of the waterfall which makes a white furry nose, and two ears one on each side of the face and sticking up a bit. And no I haven't been drinking!

I really hate wind turbines, but your picture of them in the distance make me want to change my mind.....just a little bit. That is a spectacular picture Dave.
They are all superb, but that one takes the biscuit for me.
Well captured......I wish I had got that one!

It was the competition theme that sort of made me think more of reflections.
