Breakers

Breakers at Widemouth Bay; the winds coming off the cliffs and whipping up the spray.

The Island
57/365
The Island, Tintagel, North Cornwall
The home of Tintagel Castle; associated with the legend of King Arthur... although there is no evidence he's ever actually been here!

Peeking

Blue Tit waiting for his turn on the feeders.
The rambling rose is a good perch, and with the leaves growing now it offers a bit of cover too.

Primrose Bokeh
52/365
These primroses are growing out of the river banks. The 'bokeh' effect is caused by sunlight on the water...
Bokeh definition
Bokeh is the blur (or the aesthetic quality of the blur) in out-of-focus areas of an image, or "the way the lens.renders out-of-focus points of light" More info here.

Inquisitive

He'd been on the bird feeder stealing all the peanuts...
When he saw me he ran off, circled round behind the wood shed and popped up to see if I was still there. And there I was!

Having been surrounded by coughs and sneezes at work this week, it was only a matter of time before the inevitable happened.

Daffodils
41/365
Poor daffs, one minute the sun is shining and they are beaming upwards, the next they are flattened by frost with heads bowed.
They still struggle on!

Small

River side Wren.
If only they would stay still long enough to get a decent shot! I think this particular subject could be another for the 'when I've a bit more time' pile. Work has been busy, work on the house has been busy and as such my grand plans for stretching photographic horizons in this 365 project seem to have slipped a bit. Time pressures are what they are for now so finding new daily subjects is enough of a challenge for now!

Spirea leaf shoots.
Given the bitterly cold of today after recent milder weather, these tender young leaves could be in for a rough ride!

Inviting path into Whalesborough Wood from Bude Canal. North Cornwall.
One of our favourite walks is from Widemouth Bay, along the Bude Canal to Bude, then back over the cliff path to Widemouth. This little path is off the canal heading into Whalesborough Wood and an area of permissive paths and trails. We've never explored the trails, usually sticking to the canal path but maybe next time...

Rather Ragged
36/365
A rather bedraggled looking Small Tortoiseshell butterfly spotted while walking the dogs today.
Technically a pretty rubbish shot of a fairly motheaten subject but it wasn't hanging about so I took my chances! And as it's the first butterfly spotted of the year... I'll make my excuses!
It's been beautifully warm here today when the sun made an appearance, perhaps the last few days of milder temperatures have tempted this one from hibernation. It may well change it's mind next week as we have snow forecast for early next week.

Late in the Day

Having found myself very short of time today, it was a grabbed shot of a primrose just outside the front door in failing light for todays picture.

Semaphore ears.
Murphy demonstrates his semaphore skills. Apparently this particular arrangement of ears indicates the letter "J".

Ripples
30/365
Ripple circles, Crowdy Reservoir.
We walk the dogs on Davidstow Moor most weekends, often close by the reservoir. It's usually blowing a hooley but today it was almost still; as such the water was almost inviting! A plop of a thrown stone caused the circle. I had been aiming for some sort of landscape shot incorporating the shoreline and Rough Tor in the background but I got distracted by the ripples and didn't quite end up with the picture I'd had in mind! One for another day though.

Whether you know them as Catkins or as Lambs Tails... these golden tassels are another sign that Spring is just round the corner.
