As for contrast, I simply love weather like this which just oozes contrast. So much like life itself.
No, I’m not giving you the ‘finger’ and rotated they remind me of something from a horror movie.
These are two of the remaining crypt pillars, along with rubble cores are all that is left of the Shrine of St Edmund.
Once a great Abbey of St Edmund of Bury is now just an impressive ruin.

By Day – It’s amazing how many times I have taken a shot through a window, knowing full well the quality of the shot could be pretty poor. But sometimes, that really doesn’t matter. It is a moment in life that just deserves more presence of attention and merits the joy of preserving it for a future date.
In the case of this song thrush, I had been listening to it singing away but couldn’t actually see where it was perched. As I passed the window, there it sat, bold as brass on the grass nonchalantly preening itself in the sunlight. I prayed it would still be there by the time I’d wrestled my camera out of its bag and it was and continued to bathe unperturbed much longer than I was prepared to stand stooped over the camera.

Yet, I find that contrast seems to accentuate nature’s true beauty.

Kitty, my friend’s adorable cat stars again.
