This is why I carry a polarising filter in my camera bag, even for the phone camera.
First shot is without filter, second is with filter - no editing.
Polarising filters work wonders with refracted light.
They can reduce or emphasise reflections and make rainbows more vibrant 🌈😎

Apparently #autumn has arrived in #MoatPark, #Dundonald 🍄🤷♂️
The #weather has been unseasonably cool and showery for weeks and everything is confused - even the #fungi.

We don’t often get large #thunderstorms in #NorthernIreland and when we do, they never perform over my house. Until today.

It’s amazing what you find when walking home from ASDA with a heavy bag full of groceries.
This lovely Swallow-Tailed Moth was hiding in plain-sight on a wall along the Comber Road in Dundonald ☺️

The massive tower of Dundonald Castle, dominating the Ayrshire landscape for miles around. It was built on an elevated site that had been fortified since around 500 and was the favourite home of King Robert II in the late 1300s.

A couple of #fasciated #dandelions along the #EastLinkRoad in #Dundonald this morning.
The first appeared to be separate #flowers but the stems were completely #fused.
I tend to see #fasciation close to #roads so would the #mutation be caused by #vehicle #exhaust gases? 🤔

People of #Dundonald:
Stop picking the #daffodils and leaving them at your ass! 😡
It’s a #PublicPark so the #flowers don’t belong to you 😠
