To begin with I was struggling to find something suitable and then a few days later I had so many 'unexpected' photos that I had to limit myself (and spare you)!
Imagine pulling into a roadside cafe and finding this parked there....
What a monster.
We have a tow hitch on our truck but sadly we had to
leave it behind! I would have loved to have seen the vehicle
that took it away. We called in a few days later and it was gone.
Looks like someone has had all the fuel!
A Barn Owl hunting.
Driving home and we see the local sparrowhawk
perched on the wall at the front of our house.
What a treat! We have ice sculptures in the trench I dug
up at our fields; never seen this before but then it has been
rather cold recently.
I loved how the ice had built up on the rush stem.
I took many photos and when the warmer weather
came they soon disappeared.
An unexpected good photo of Bob. We never know if he will appear so it is a great treat to see him.
Driving past a local reservoir yesterday and wow, they have
cut down a lot of the trees.
Another part of the same local reservoir, now lacking trees.
Bye!
We drove past when they were cutting those trees down - a huge operation with traffic control, several vehicles, chippers, vans and loads of blokes etc, would liked to have watched for a while but had to make do with what we could see while we waited at the red lights.
ReplyDeleteI would have happily sat in my car watching them at work; I do find tree working essential viewing!
DeleteLove all your unexpected objects you found to photograph. Those ice sculptures are brilliant. We too saw those trees being cut down. I didn't know what to feel, sad that the lovely trees were being cleared out or pleased as we now had a good view of the reservoir. Lovely picture of Bob. xx
ReplyDeleteI'm pleased that there will now be a better view of the reservoir, especially when the sail boats are playing out. Wish I could have seen all the action.
DeleteWow ... what a selection. Isn’t is funny how there is so much to see when we just take the time to stop and look. I love the ice sculptures ... my Facebook feed seems to have been full of them recently ... nature is just so awesome 😃
ReplyDeleteThanks! Yes I too have noticed lots of ice sculptures of FB. It was Hawthorn who, many years ago, mentioned how she looks at her surroundings and that got me thinking. So now I try to see the hidden/unusual/out of place etc objects. It's great fun.
DeleteWhat a great selection of photos - I love the icicles and the barn owl hunting - my goodness, what a shot.
ReplyDeleteThanks! Pity we could not stop when I saw the owl; a busy, minor road so I just had to snap and hope for the best. The icicles were such a joy to see; I'll keep an eye out to see if they ever return.
DeleteI like the icicles, I think they look like upside down turnips :) My favourite is the great shot of Bob, he's lovely :)
ReplyDeleteGlad you like the icicles; they are a sight to behold. As for beautiful Bob, I hope he stays with us.
DeleteI love your first photos and am amazed at what you see sometimes on the road/roadside when travelling. All the bird photos are great as are the icy ones. Take care & hugs.
ReplyDeleteThanks Susan; most times we are out, we see something unusual; I just have to keep my eyes open!
DeleteWe've had weird icicles too. Love the barn owl, one flew over my car at dusk the other day, a rare treat. CN x
ReplyDeleteBarn owls are such a treat to see. Recently we've seen one hunting over the field in front of the house; so every time I go past a window that looks over that way I have to stop and have a look! Even the anticipation of possibly seeing one is good!
