It's all about perspective……
This weeks challenge is hosted by Tina at Travels & Trifles, and the theme of shadows is very interesting. It gives a lot of scope really, but I have focused on some shapes of nature, and a shot taken in Crete last year.
Thanks to Cee's blog I have found my way to Thursday Tree Love, hosted by Parul at Happiness and Food. My contribution this week is this magnificent Baobab Tree which I photographed in Kenya. The scale of these trees is immense, and even having a carefully arranged person in the shot does not seem to… Continue reading ThursdayTreeLove – 57 Challenge
As my entry for Dutch Goes the Photo's Tuesday Challenge, here's a little chap I found crawling through the undergrowth in Macedonia (now formally renamed). I know these fellas are good at jumping as well, but he fits well into the category of creepy crawlies!

So I took another of my walks today, heading down to the North Downs way and following a circular route out of Tilford.
