The Scroobious Pictures - Wildlife & Nature

Sunset and smoke
I do love pictures - photos, drawings, paintings, the lot.

So, having heard via IsobelandCat's Blog (which I highly recommend!) of a new photo 'challenge', how could I resist?

I'm a few days late, as these pictures are for January's category.
Sorry about that.


The subject for January was 'Wildlife and Nature'
(It has been very difficult to limit myself to just 423 pictures.
Only kidding.
567 actually.)
I had better re-read the rules for next time. Maybe you're only allowed one picture.
(I'd probably have to drop out.)

I just hope no one is looking at this on some wide-screen desk-top because I had the unpleasant experience of doing that myself recently. Horror of horrors - all the pictures were bleeding into each other, over the edge and it all looked like the proverbial train-wreck.
All I can say is, everything is ship-shape and Bristol-fashion when it leaves my laptop!

Nature first

Seashore 'pavement'


Cummeen Strand at low tide




The woods in winter







Chloe's horned tree monster
This fabulous picture was taken by my talented young French friend, Chloe Aubert. I am entering it on her behalf. Isn't it wonderful? And so is her other picture, below

Another of Chloe Aubert's lovely pictures - midsummer woodland

These two pictures (above and below) are, coincidentally, taken of the same place, at different seasons!
Here is my picture taken in winter.


Midwinter woodland




I took this picture last weekend at our favourite beach (so it does qualify as a January picture, honest!)





This is a waterfall on the side of Benbulben, our iconic mountain


The Mare's Tail in winter

Icicles on the frozen river


That's probably slightly overdone it on the nature bit.
Here are some wildlife pix.


Ducks on the Garavogue




Both of the next shots were also taken on the Garavogue

Stowaway


The perfect family


I love noiisy seagulls. I don't know what type this is, but he was trying to share my sandwich.





























And finally, one last picture from Chloe Aubert.
