Guest Ditch_Shitter Posted June 27, 2007 Report Share Posted June 27, 2007 Love it! I could look at shit like this all day! Only trouble is, I Do! Just emptied my own camera. I seem to take 50 - 100 shots every day! Plants make up a greater percentage of what I'm doing just now. That and my moths. I always have a massive back log to work through, select and identify. But it keeps me happy To me, this is what it's all about. For all the other shit in the world we live in today, I'm So gratefull to be living in the age of the Digital Camera. Now we can strip nature bare as we pass and yet touch nothing but souls. Personally, I'm every bit as happy sneaking about the hedgerows with my camera as I am patrolling the tracks at night with my rifle. " Show us dead foxes! ", they clamour. What the f*ck for?! Have ye never made a fox dead and then looked at it? Seen one dead bloody fox ye've seen them all, I say! But when did ye last stop to examine a stem of Horsetail, and then realise that it's colour bands are differant from the last such stem ye examined ~ and take the time to look them up and identify them? Shoot nine foxes, rabbits, hare or deer with a rifle and show the pictures? What's the point? But just stop and appreciate some small aspect of what's out there that ye trampling under foot? Show us That? There's something to provoke thought, comment and wonder! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
