Dead Wood, Hidden Faces

 These pieces of dead wood are I think the remnants of old gorse, there are thousands of scraps that litter the heathland floor.

I think they create interesting shapes and if you look closely you will see something different. In colour I don't think they are quite as interesting or well defined but in black and white you can see much more depth and texture.

I wonder whether you see what I see...

In the first two images I see a sleeping dragon and in the third image I see the face of Angry Yoda (from Star Wars of course) or perhaps one of the Gremlins from the movie of the same name. 

I'm Watching You!

I went to the zoo today, looking for colour and texture. I found both.

The first shot that I wanted to share was going to be something cute and fluffy and something that I have wanted to see at the zoo on each of my previous visits but they have never been out on display, until today. But, as I was going through the shots I took this one really caught my eye.

I know lizards and dragons won't be everybody's "cup of tea" but when they look at you like this how can you possibly not like this one?

Komodo dragons are very seriously endangered and truly impressive. Behind that smiley face is a mouthful of teeth capable of delivering a deadly bite. 

Chinese Water Dragon

As with yesterday's post I know this wont be to everybody's taste but I love this gnarly reptile.
