Flower head or swimming cap?

This glorious Hydrangea flower reminds me so much of retro petalled swimming caps.

Two sides of the same tree

I am playing around with the point and shoot camera a lot at the moment and on this gloomy day earlier in the week I visited the stand of Flowering Cherry Trees which were in various stages of autumn decline.

A few trees were still displaying vibrant and colourful leaves.

The light was rather cold on this day but here is a photo looking into the light.

And this shot, with the light behind me is looking at the other side of the tree.

The differences were surprising and pleasing to me and my growing curiosity with photography.

Rocks in the pool that is life

And then there is the day when the dry and the dying are present to you despite the blue sky, the beauty and the soothing sounds of water and birds.

A day when you recall that the path ahead is often hard, bleached of colour and curves away unseen.

When the rocks in life appear large in a depleted pool

and when a foundation rock of your own life has gone into another form.
