I was kind of amazed that these trees still don't have leaves on them. I've no idea why, though.

A white Rhodonedron growing in the grounds of a house in Caton (luckily for your photographer, right next to the road).

A bent and twisted tree (I don't know what species, alas) on back road between Galgate and Caton.

This was one of those lucky spur of the moment captures, where there happened to be a convenient spot to stop the car. It took me twelve shots to get the lighting more-or-less right (it's still not perfect).

I've never understood why people hate dandelions or daisies or buttercups. Sure, if you want a perfect green croquet lawn then they might be a scourge but otherwise why hate something so spontaneous and hardy and beautiful?

I'm particularly pleased with how the stamina came out in this shot, especially when you consider that I was shooting it with a lens that really isn't meant for this kind of work at all.

About

Graham Binns is a writer, photographer, musician and software developer from Lancaster, England, with far too much hair, a penchant for odd t-shirts and a magnificent hat. He has been making things up for as long as he can remember and has been making code work for long enough to make a living from it.

He has written one novel, which is in the process of composting, and is working remembering how to write before embarking on a second. In the meantime, he photographs things, since it's easier not to have to make the world up in his head all of the time.
