Wreck

Every week-day to & from work I pass this wreck. It sits in someones garden, has done for years, and i've always promised myself I will stop and take a photo.
Today I was passing it after being to Saltwell Park taking a few photos (or at least trying being it was Bank Holiday and boat-loads of people around). Anyway, it wasn't the most fabulous of conditions but I had to stop anyway to take it while I had my camera on me.

Storm Clouds Ahead

I've had friends over for dinner today and haven't been out with my camera. Anyway it's been another grim day, but, as I was getting into the car to take my visitors home, I saw a chance to take a few storm clouds that seem to be brewing so ran in and grabbed my camera. I stopped at the side of the road and took this lone tree that was stark & bare and seem to add to the darkness of the sky.

Robin

This little robin is very tame. I heard there was a robin at Far Pastures near Rowlands Gill that eats out of your hand. This one came right down and sat on the roof of my car waiting to see if I had anything to eat. Unfortunately I'd forgot to pick the food up for it. It eventually flew into the trees when it knew I had nothing for it to eat. It's a cute little thing don't you think.
