The words on the wall advertising a restaurant in Ses Saline (Triple Restaurant FYI, and a great place for lunch) save me putting anything else.

A friend suggested that I share some of the images, with the thought that you may one day go on a trip that you want to take images of with a view to telling a visual story of the trip - Storytelling through Pictures.

Like my Friday posts, this isn't a simple photography tip as such, but more like life inspiration through Photography and Words—a mix of visual with meaningful reflections. There are starving people out there, so never despise the food you have.

The truth of these words struck me as I looked at this oak leaf, gradually trading it's verdant green for rusty gold.

When you've got used to looking, and allowing your eyes to see, you notice things that others would never see. Walking our dog one morning. After a night of sporadic rain, leaves had fallen, and traffic had passed, leaving a pressure mark, painted with mud. The tyre had left a stone from within it's tread , the shadow of which leaves it's own creativity

The geese had already left, there were a few mallard (Anas platyrhynchos) still snoozing, a handful of teal (Anas crecca) feeding, and a solitary grey heron (Ardea cinerea) slowly wading through the middle of the pond. I had one of my Nikon Camera's, fitted in case you're interested with a 70-200mm f2.8 and 1.7 teleconverter. If you have one of the latest iphones or similar, you could still make a good effort, as you will understand in a bit.
