Because I still take a lot of photographs, and posting just one a week for the EPE isn’t winnowing down my stock, I thought I’d showcase a few of my favourites at the end of each month, with just a few words as to why I like them.

Strangely, although I usually prefer colour, this month I just liked some of my photos better in black and white.

I don’t know why, but this says “Summer Country Wedding” to me.

I love how the last 2 daisies show against the darkness, one twisted and reaching and the other cupped open.

Branches against the sky, silver trunks bare and stark.

The flip of the leaf, the arch of the stem.

That droplet down in the far right corner in all its crystal clarity.

A very lucky shot – freedom.

The looming clouds against the dry grass.
