Each little droplet has its own little picture of the scene...be sure to get this on flickr....I have some ideas...not sure if they will work out

Thanks, I am a few days behind with my flickr uploads, although when I do I have a few droplet shots to upload, so please help yourself when I do.

Many thanks Dave......you know how I like to play around...but you will get the first look and then what you do with it will be up to you(as always).

And the shot of the trees and the dark sky is more 'atmospheric' than 'spooky'...just my opinion.

No approval required, you may repost the pictures on here, I trust your judgement , and look forward to seeing them.

I think atmospheric is a better word.

Today in Pictures, wet again, and muddy as well.

1.On wet days close ups are the only option, and fungi to boot.
2. Another wet through fungi.
3. Its dead mans fingers, although it does not look like a finger !
4. I think its a Smokey Bracket, not sure as its wet.
5. Last time I was here it was a sunny Autumn day.
6. Its a big rock.
7. Some more muddy steps.

and with that it was time for home, Spring Wood in Whalley will have to dry out a bit before I return.

8 The moon over the apartments
9 Flowering Aloe Vera
10 Sunset over El Hierro (small island) and La Gomera (bigger one) -you could also see La Palma that evening but I don't have a panoramic lens.

Lovely pics Dianne....especially like 7&8....those lovely blues skies. What I wouldn't give for a bit of blue sky.
All we have here right now is grey.

Idem -got back on Monday and the fog still hasn't lifted here -just as well I've been busy giving the house a good top and bottoming! What I wouldn't give to back in the pool every day - was swimming 50 lengths a day without stopping-great exercise! (The pool is only about 12m long I should point out)

Today in Pictures, its a good day for droplets, I have one on the end of my nose.

1. Starting in Cutwood, a turkey tail.
2. Round the reservoir, formation swimming, swans on the left, geese on the right.
3. I see a seagull, actually I see several seagulls.
4. A droplet or two.
5. Thats a hairy one.
6. Heading up the canal.
7. As far as we went.
8. Turned around and set off back.
9. Drops on the top !
10. Last look at a lichen before legging it up the lane.

Lovely and varied set of shots Dave -your signature droplets, water and great close-ups. The fungus in no. 1 is gorgeous -great texture and colour - I keep hinting to my husband that I really could do with a better camera as mine is on the blink. Son's girlfriend has one to sell for 250 euros -she has just got a new one as she studies photography. Will ask what the make , model is etc and will see if all you experts think it's a good deal!
