Exploring with my Camera

Last week I found a fab new website belonging to Kat Sloma in it she has a page dedicated to 'exploring with a camera' and suggests different themes around every two weeks. You can then link you pictures to her website. (I am going to try this but given my current lack of success with importing badges I'm not overly optimistic!)

The current them is "Found Texture" and I had a fab weekend on the beautiful Isle of Wight going for walks with my camera. I honestly thought I was quite good at noticing stuff and finding the 'sacred in the ordinary', but I was amazed at how much I noticed that I wouldn't have done before.

I have put the picture in the 'Textures Album' which can be found on the right sidebar of this blog, but can't resist sticking a couple of my favourites right here in the text. These are all from the beach and as you can see the weather was fantastic for October in the UK.

Hope you like them enough to have a look at the others in the album!

Love that shot of the leaf on the sand! The wormcasts create a really interesting and unusual texture.

Thanks - doesn't really look it but the whole thing was underwater - not sure where the leaf came from as there are no trees on the beach!

Wow, those curlicues in the sand are just amazing. What are they? There is so much wonderful texture to be found at the beach! Thanks so much for linking in to Exploring with a Camera. I'm very happy to have you joining in!

Thank you I am thrilled to have found your site! the curlicues are lug worm casts - people go to the beach to dig them up to use as bait for fishing - they often have to dig down at least a foot to find any though!

Thank you I had a lot of fun taking them - really gave my walk a purpose

You certainly had a successful adventure with your camera. There are so really fabulous texture images there. Best of luck as you begin your blogging life - I have to put the brakes on every now and then so blogging doesn't take over my life! But the outlets and support are amazing. Welcome!

Beautiful shots, love the worm casts and the rust/grass/surfboard contrast. I can almost feel the sea breeze on my face!

Hi I just popped across to your blog where I tried (and failed) to leave a comment. I love your pictures they seem to represent the essence of a traditional english garden - I'm thinking National Trust here!
