Bridge Over Troubled Water
Back at the barn - Horse Faces
I returned to the barn this weekend to take more pictures, I'm starting to get used to being around horses now and even got to ride one. Spice, pictured above, seems to get hot very quickly when running the area. I managed to catch her with her tongue out. Again, this is the perspective taken on the day, no post cropping.

Fire Hydrant
I know they were designed to stand out from the background, there is just something about them that makes me want to photograph them. Probably because they're aren't common place in England.

Curious Swan
A swan in the park across from my office, on a lunchtime walk. It's just about getting ready to extend its wings and dry off after getting out of the pond

The Circle of stairs
This picture was taken in Rome, whilst I was hanging over a rail to look down on the staircase. I love the multiple layers of stairs as they spin down to the bottom.

Horse running around the area throwing up dust
Water drops dripping from a plant branch
Dandelion against the sky
I love the delecate look of dandelions, just waiting for the wind to blow them. This is the same dandelion as yesterday, although this time I picked it and held it to the horizon to get a cool background.

Water drops clinging to a web
After watering the garden, I noticed that spiders had been at work laying nice webs across the grass baldes, which are in desperate need of cutting. Anyway, the water was resting nicely on them so I decided to take a few snaps.

Friends Celebrating American Independence Day
A group of friends letting off fireworks for their 4th of July celebrations. I loved the way the haze was creating a nice pattern under the streetlamp.
