Budding
Flower in Porch:
This plant is in the porch of my home - I don't know what type of plant it is - maybe someone can identify it - but it has fantastic colours in it. The beautiful bright red contrasts so well against the yellow flower, and the dark green leaves make an awesome backdrop to the plant. I just couldn't resist taking this photo!

PS - This plant is now dead. I may upload a picture of it in it's dying state... but it's not pleasant...

Out of Focus Iguana
Alrighty There People!
Another Tenerife shot coming up - this one taken in Loro Parque, the parrot sanctuary. I spotted this Iguana, sunning itself right against the glass.
I couldn't get a very good angle on it, then I forget to adjust the settings, and then there is the glare of the glass - all in all, I thought it would make for a rubbish picture. But when I got back, I was mildly surprised with the outcome. True, the Iguana is out of focus - but I think that that enhcances the image. I love it.
What do you think?

Mount Teide
Alrighty There People!
No doubt you are now well aware that I was in sunny Tenerife in September (but why oh why did I come back to Rainy Britain??!)
One of the trips that I took whilst there was a visit to Mount Teide, the active though dormant volcano in the Teide National Park (more info on the wiki: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Teide)
It was a beautiful day, but we had been warned to wrap up warm, and we dutifully complied. When we stepped off of the coach, the coolness of the mountain air hit us. Compared to the warmth of the beach, it was cold! We paid the 25 Euros each - yes, each - for the cable car ride, and took the 8 minute journey to the top (although technically it wasn't the top, you need a permit to get there.) We were warned that the temperature at the top was a Brit-like 6 degrees, with a -15 wind chill. Ouch. The air is also a lot thinner at 12,000 feet - and I suffered from this.
But the views were absolutely spectacular. Looking out across the ridge, we could clearly make out the rim of the crater that we had just driven across (a bizarre feeling), and the clouds hung low in the horizon.
Turning to look at the peak of the volcano was fascinating. The harsh, bleak, sandy colour contrasted greatly with the light blue hue of the sky. Of course, I instantly whipped out the N95, and snapped this image:

Interestingly, the surrounding areas were used to film Planet of the Apes and some Star Wars scenes. I'll post a view from Teide later, but meantime, your thoughts on this are much appreciated.

The Maze of Glass - Kielder
Alrighty There People!
So one day in the summer I went up to Kielder in Northumberland. It's a fantastic area, with it's immense forest, humongous reservoir, and absolutely tiny castle...
A new feature to the grounds of the castle was a walk-through maze, which I was quite excited about, until I got there and saw it for myself. It, like the castle, was somewhat lacking in size. Constructed from local hewn stones, it was drab and grey.
Until you got to the middle, that is.
For in the centre of the maze, the surrounding walls were made of chunks of glass held in place by chicken wire. And in case that doesn't sound too cool, check out the picture that I took of it on the N95:
I must admit, I was quite taken with this shot. What do you think?

Dawyck Botanical Gardens - Pillar
Alrighty There People!
I snapped this image on the N95 when I was in the fabulous Dawyck Botanical Gardens of Scotland in August.
I particularly loved the way the stone and the moss intertwined, and it looked fantastic against the backdrop of the home.
