  1. ohhh. loved them all Tish. the barley field makes me want to run through it. Your photo, an invitation. And the dog on the stairs shares such expression. It is definitely a photo STORY. What, I don’t know, but a story indeed. Great filling the frames!

    1. Many thanks for your enthusiastic response, Donna. You made me smile too – the thought of you running wild through the barley. And why not. We all need some gay abandonment moments.

  2. Wow Tish, what wonderful way to full the frame! I thought the moon shot was great, but then I saw the next. And they only got better after that, ending with that wonderful scene of man and dogs. Print and frame that one.

  3. Lovely, Tish.

    The moon, the barley field and the man and his dog come very close to what the eye sees the first instant the eye sees them; before the brain calms you so that you know that you are not in danger or have not been spirited away by UFOs. They are absolutely enchanting!

    1. That is so eloquently put, Sarah. And it made me smile a lot. There’s also more than a hint in your words of how I use my camera – i.e. very ‘in the moment’, snap-happy even; probably just before the UFOs took me away. Thank you!

  4. Every time I see wonderful pictures like these, I think “Maybe I should actually USE one of my tripods rather than storing them in the trunk of the car.” Maybe I should buy a better tripod. The ones I have are lightweight, but shaky. I’m afraid my cameras will fall off or are too heavy and the whole setup will crash to the ground. Then I see your pictures and I realize what opportunities I’m missing. I wonder what a really good tripod costs these days. Hmm.

    1. Many thanks, Tina. I like the otherwordly looks of the barley field. There was some odd effect with the light going on there, reflecting off the barley spikelets somehow.

    1. Lovely to hear from you, James. Am liking the ‘more Zen’ appraisal. Actually in my head at the time was the notion of the wires being lines in a musical score: the moon plays a tune 🙂
