For a small bird they’re surprisingly loud.

Cee’s B & W Photo Challenge: Candid Photography (human or animal).
This is my contribution to Cee’s Black and White Photo Challenge: Candid Photography (human or animal).
I had a few human photo ideas for the challenge before thinking of some of the photos of Common Frogs taken in Cheshire in the 1980s. They got so used to me being around the garden pond that they would ignore me.
Weekly Prompts Photo Challenge: Magenta Rose.
This is my contribution to the Weekly Prompts Photo Challenge: Magenta Rose.
This photo dates back to the 1980s. I was experimenting with a grainy, high speed film and soft focus filters. The film was Scotch Chrome 1000, as the name suggests it was 1000 ASA.
I added more grain to this edit of the shot before adding a film type border with Snapseed.

Tuesday Photo Challenge – Fall.
This is my contribution to the Tuesday Photo Challenge – Fall.
I had a few ideas for the challenge after photographing some early fall colour at the weekend. In the end I decided to go with a selection of photos of fall colour covering several decades and various locations.
Fall colour on Bickerton Hill, Cheshire, England in the early 1990s.
Fall colour in early snow, Bickerton Hill, Cheshire, England in the late 1980s.
Fall colour behind a slough, Punnichy, Saskatchewan, Canada in the late 1990s.
Fall colour on the Niagara Escarpment, Ontario, Canada a few years ago.
Fall colour in the mist, Hatherton, Cheshire, England in the late 1970s.
A section of fallen tree trunk surrounded by fall colour on the South Bruce Peninsula last year.
Leucistic juvenile Great Spotted Woodpecker.
Throwback Thursday travels back to Cheshire, England in the late 1980s.
This is a leucistic juvenile Great Spotted Woodpecker. Leucism is a lack of dark pigmentation. A normal Great Spotted Woodpecker is mostly black and white with red patches. The feathers that would normally be black are pale brown on this bird. The red cap shows that the bird is a juvenile.
