Sheltering From the Rain

A few House Sparrows using the shed overhang to shelter from the rain:

Has the rain stopped yet?

Taken with the 70D with ISO set at 12800 as it was so dull.
Once again processed using the Pix Shape app on the iPad2.

Inquisitive Youngster

Came in to make a cuppa and noticed this juvenile Robin having a good look round inside the entrance of my shed:

Pony Meets Racing Wheelchair

On our afternoon amble round the block there were two things of interest to watch. One was a young lady I occasionally see in her racing wheelchair going North and a pony and trap going South. Before long the two met up and then things got interesting. The pony decided it wasn't amused and wanted to turn round. Not an easy manoeuvre in traffic.

The wheelchair user had stopped and asked the trap driver whether she should wait but he asked her to continue. Eventually the trap driver dismounted and led the pony while the wheelchair and other traffic passed by:

Then he was able to safely continue on his journey:

Penny doesn't bother about horses and ponies and is content to watch and wait while I take a few photos.

Friday at the Flicks - Juvenile Robins

These clips were recorded near the beginning of this month when a couple of juvenile Robins were making regular visits to the bird table:

Going Nowhere Fast

As we trolled over to the village medical centre to stock up with another month's supply of medicinal sweeties I noticed how well the model Jet Provost, which is part of the Village sign, was standing out in the mid afternoon Sunshine:

Me being me, I couldn't leave it as just a straight forward photo.
Oh no, time to try out the 'Circular+' iPad app which not only creates Tiny Planet type pictures but also has the capability to crop, rotate, zoom and make kaleidoscope type effects.
Here with just two sections:

Also various layered effects can be added like birds and Sun effects plus the world globe at the centre of this four way version:

Very fast and easy to use even on my li'l old iPad2.

Anyway back to the village sign unsullied by my 'artistic' bent:

Tuesday Twister - Guess What

As I now have a few apps which can twist and distort photographs on the iPad and an easy way of moving photos between the iPad and the MacBook I though I would start a new, different, type of Guess What. Some will be a lot easier than others. Hopefully this first one won't cause any real problems to identify.

What is this a photo of?
