Design Cuts sells fonts, vectors, patterns, and other stuff, and also does freebies. The frame on this photo is from their current vector film textures freebie. I overlaid one of the frames on an image of a Herdwick ram and then reversed out the frame to get some contrast because the background to image of the ram is black.
If you are looking for other freebies, there is also Creative Market, which sends them out every Monday. Just sign up and you will get their email with the weekly offer.

You speak of of the ongoing degradation caused by drag netting, David… I’ve often wondered – like every time there was yet another announcement of the “safe” underwater testing of a nuclear device – how much damage was being done to the world’s oceans… And they wonder why the oceans’ water temperature has been increasing… Seriously?!? Surely I can’t be the only one to think of this?

I love nature. It is my pleasure. But since Silent Spring, things have only got worse year on year – at least in the countryside here in the UK. There are small successes – but against a background of declining numbers of just about everything. Some populations have crashed with 90% losses. I
