They say that mans best friend is a dog, not having the pleasure of owning one stops me from understanding why that is, I see many people who are devoted to their pets but I prefer to keep my friends human. So is a dog mans best friend?

Today on See it Sunday the theme is "Fillin", I am always captured by this wreck just off the coast near where I live, not only has it sank once but every day it re-lives the same tragedy. I often wonder if someone should rescue the vessel and preserve it, reminds me of life, what say you?

I came across this house brick on the shore and wondered how long it takes for the sea to smooth its surface, its almost like its become a work of art.

Entered for Photo Friday

I am a bit of a truck fan, I'm not obsessed I couldn't even tell you what kind of truck this is, you know like engine and stuff but I just love trucks.

This weeks theme over at Written Inc is "on the road". I spotted this truck whilst traveling through Spain and just couldn't resist a close up.

Its something about the strength, size and agility of big vehicles that I love to drive, having drove Tanks before, Chieftain and Challenger, Lucky enough to have a driving license that allows me to drive 7.5 ton it just has an appeal that I love. What did you see on the road?

According to NG the Black Rhino is nearing extinction! How sad to see such beautiful animals so rare. I am not a fan of caged animals but I guess these guys in a wildlife park are safe. Take a look over at Photo Tuesday for other Rare photos.

Unfortunately this guy was in captivity, its a shame really I cant make my mind up whether animals should be locked up like this, it seems so unnatural, what do you say?

Its "Italian" over at See it Sunday, I don't have anything Italian and I have not had the pleasure of visiting either. I did remember that I love illy Coffee and 2 seasons ago a blue tit nested in one of my empty tins, I don't have the heart to throw it away, I have posted this before but I cant remember when.

I wonder if she too loved the smell of fresh coffee and couldn't believe her luck when she found this home, my only wish is that she returned but alas......

This weeks Moody Monday theme is Mental, I don't know about you but being caged up like this would send me mental! It just doesn't seem right. Maybe his fellow feathered friends in Sweden stand more of a chance.

This weeks theme over at Written Inc is "water in any form" Why not go and join in the fun. This is my Jess when we hired out one of those boat/slide things in the Costa Del Sol last Nov. We were having such a good time so we went out a bit further only to find a sewage slick across the bay, Eww I was so shocked I couldn't believe it, I wont say what I saw, Ill save that for another time.

This week's theme over at Photo Tuesday calls for photos which show a sequence or progression of elements. I took these shots on holiday of my daughter Jessie.

Its Snappy over at Moody Monday this week, I remembered this pigeon we saw in Spain that either the locals had died or he was just a Snappy Dresser.

Spring is a while off yet for the UK but I too cannot wait to get back to shots like this, I tried my best last year to get some good close ups of flowers and had great fun doing it with an added amount of frustration trying to get it focused. The closer you get the more beautiful things are don't you agree?

Submitted for Macro Monday.

Entered for Sunday Stills - Texture. I hesitate to post a photo of a grave stone I guess because it feels a little odd. The texture and craftsmanship that goes into this kind of work is beautiful, what do you think?

Entered for See it Sunday.

Littered with seagulls, what do you think beautiful or ugly?

Today there is a gathering Trafalgar square, unfortunately I cannot make it but take a look at the website if your so inclined. This is the kind of craziness that is taking place in the UK. I am a photographer not a terrorist.
