My 36 Photos Of Nature That I Took While Taking A Walk

I spent an afternoon watching dragons fly by, amazed at their abilities of flight. Backwards, forwards, zipping about with ease, though the life story of the dragonfly does not begin in the air, a story of transformation, rebirth, you only live once? Or twice?

This little one had just pulled itself from a former life, wings still forming, drying in the gentle breeze, fear not little one, I mean you no harm, and many thanks for the study of your life cycle, it has taught me something of my own life.

We are all dragons.

Thus I came upon the tipping latern, a fire basket with no fire, the lighthouse. Along the horizon it came, raise the alarm bells, raise the alarm bells, light the fire, light the fire.

I caught the goat in the morning, still to this day I am not sure if the goat is facing the sun or looking at me.

On a fence in the early morning, I could not climb the fence, too high, nor could I walk around it, too long. I could've tried to dig under it, but with a little insight decided to go through it.

Fear and discomfort are only temporary, you will find away.

Thank you spider.

Every flower must grow through dirt.

It's that time of the season.

If you are going to catch and carry a talisman then may I recommend the leprechaun, you can see him right?

If legend be told and legend be true,
to catch a leprechaun a fortune is due.

Or you could free him.

So upon his release,

He turned, winked and with a glint in his eye, said,

'I'll never forget this, from sod unto the sky.'

Should you be wondering about this image, the white cloud is Ibsen, a Maltese Terrier, a very good friend too. The main centre point is me trying to create something out of a broken guitar found in the woods.

Ibsen was aware he was in shot, why not eh?

Deeper shall we go?

When you dive into the unknown, remember to breathe when you can, where your boots lay and have the courage to reach your destiny.

The swan, my the story I could tell,
but I'll hold it close,
in the hope,
that you too can see.

I was wondering, had a sense of needing to find something, a meaning. Though I knew a journey was required, it became an internal and external adventure.

A call to nature.

I took this photo with the hope to capture the shedding of that which no longers serves us. the refinement of oneself.

The battle.

There was once a battle and near the entrance to an underground grotto lay a granite stone and caught under the stone was a wooden figure. Or is this just my imagination?

Only love can set you free. What is love? Love is a battlefield.

Into Arcadia - though one shall not trespass as my home is here.

No crabs were harmed whilst staging this shot. The seagulls had already ate them all and left only the legs. Of which I took full advantage and created hell on earth.

It is said that if one looks long enough into the abyss then in due course the abyss will look back, you may even be given a review so far, be careful, if for to long you fight monsters and dragons that you too do not become one.

Armour yourself.

Once owned a cat with eyes like this, he was lovely, Teddy was his name.

Cats were also admired in ancient Egypt I believe.

I seem to have a theme here don't eye?

I took this photo of a hibiscus flower that was growing in my house, I gently noted the mushroom like stigma, all five. What was it about this flower, I decided to grab a bit more info. Also known as the Rose of Sharon (in Hebrew: חֲבַצֶּלֶת הַשָּׁרוֹן) is a biblical expression, though the identity of the plant referred to is unclear and is disputed among biblical scholars.

What is the message of the hibiscus flower?

At its core, it represents transient beauty and the importance of living in the moment. The hibiscus flower blooms for a short time, often just one day, reminding us of the impermanence of life and the need to cherish every moment. Symbolically, the hibiscus is linked to grace, femininity and delicacy.

I was also aware of the five wounds of Christ, Journey on.

I hadn't caught this fish, it was already laying lifeless on the granite rock, if you look closer you'll see the indent, or gouge, on the top of the head, I guess of a big sea bird's beak that was going to be returning to finish this meal.

Though I took the thought that trying to reach the sun, the ideal or perfection that there will be dangers and maybe we also have to lose or leave a part of us behind to progress. It's just thought and they were running round in my head.

Our view and perspective is our own, just like what we chose to believe in, have faith in and all the multitude of other distractions that bombard our worlds. It's personal and rather than challenge another view I'd prefer to find out more as then will I only see from another's perspective, how else can I learn.

I wonder if our relationships can only be fruitful if we spend quality time to nuture; not only ours but those around you, things have a way of catching on and spreading like wild fire.

The World Wide Web.

They say when an angel appears, "Fear Not' is spoken to reassure that no harm is meant nor shall befall you.

I took this photo in a country park on the northern side of London, Trent Country Park in Enfield.

In the far corner of this park is the remnants of a dwelling surrounded by a moat.

Camlet Moat.

When an angel appears, it can be a significant and potentially transformative experience. Angels can appear in dreams, visions, or even in the physical world, sometimes as recognizable angelic beings and other times disguised as ordinary people. Their appearances can be a source of comfort, guidance, or a message from God.

Let's continue.

If you had ever wondered if when you hug a tree does the tree hug back?

Hello Old Friend, I have missed you.

Trent Country Park, Enfield, London.

I had been taking photos of spider webs as you can see, enthralled at finding a way to mirror there craft and discover a geometrical wonder, maybe even something more, beauty is in the eye of the beholder right?

So is arachnophobia.

I love spiders let it be known.
