A Pair of Mallard
Throwback Thursday travels back to Cheshire, England in the mid 1990s and a pair of Mallard hanging out on the remains of a tree in Hurleston Reservoir near Nantwich.
Another overlooked photo from my slide archives. I find the light rather strange in this photo. The birds and tree stump appear to be front lit while the reflections on the water make me think it’s backlit. I’ve come to the conclusion that the scene is front lit and it’s the angles of the ripples in the water making their reflections appear to be backlit.

Taken on a walk around the neighborhood for a photo challenge but not used.
This shot of some tree bark has since grown on me.
Snow and Hoarfrost Covered Oak Tree
Throwback Thursday travels back to Cheshire, England in the late 1980s. Back then England still had spells of winter weather.
One wintry spell saw me on a back road near the town of Audlem in southern Cheshire. When I saw this snow and hoarfrost covered Oak tree I had to find somewhere to park and get a photo. I have posted a similar shot before but this version has more of the branches of a second Oak tree in the top of the frame and slightly more road in the foreground.
January Squares: Oak Tree by Moonlight
This is my day 28 contribution to Becky’s January Squares: Light photo challenge.
One of the earliest photos I have used for the January Squares. It dates back to the mid 1970s and was part of a slide presentation that got me a place at art school.
It shows a full moon shining through a gap in the branches of an Oak tree in Hatherton, Cheshire, England.
Ripples and Reflections
This is a contribution to Jez Braithwaite’s Water Water Everywhere Photo Challenge #11.
I had been standing on the dock in Colpoy’s Bay photographing the sunrise when I turned around and saw the reflection of the tree being distorted by the ripples.
