This is my contribution to Cee’s Fun Foto Challenge: Texture prompt.
I quickly decided to go with a small selection of photos featuring tree bark taken on some of my recent walks around the neighborhood.

This is my contribution to Amy’s Lens-Artists Photo Challenge: Colourful April prompt.
I decided to look back at some of colourful April photos from my archives. One for each decade since the 1980s with as wide a variety of images as possible.
1980s. The first weekend of April 1982. I am at the Le Mans race circuit in France documenting Team Bike in their first 24 hour endurance races. A pit stop at dawn on Sunday morning.

This is my contribution to Cee’s Midweek Madness Challenge: April Close Up or Macro prompt.
I was considering one of the recent close ups of lichen on tree bark I had taken on a recent walk. As a result I decided to look back at some of my lichen photos taken on various walks in winter. Some of which were taken with unusual lenses such as a CCTV lens adapted to a mirrorless camera.
A break from Monochrome Monday as I continue my exploration of lichen growing on trees and boulders around the neighborhood.
I spotted these orange and grey lichens on a tree trunk during a walk last Saturday afternoon.
