Mmm, I really must learn to crank up the speed on a sunny day. I don't normally go above 1/1250.

It's not cheating, it's taking advantage of your observations to date!
And that's a delightfully crisp photo - what speed was your camera set at?
Mmm, yes, you'd rather expect a path for the eye to start at the edge and move to the focus.
Yes, that again works, but needed that log.
Out of interest, did you also take a shot while in front of that patch of herbs? It could be taken as obscuring things, rather than deliberately breaking up the man-made parts (which is what I guess you intended).
Mmm, lens hoods are vital lens protectors - I'm not sure mine have ever usefully stopped glare, but protecting from knocks - invaluable!
For all depth of focus is more with a telephoto lens, I'd guess that's still the cause of the issue. I'm just delighted the bulk worked so crisply, I'll forgive the camera/physics a few hairs :)
Yes, depth of focus is greater, removing one issue of macro photography (at least, unless you've the hang of focus stacking and the post-processing required).
Well, yes, I suppose there's that...
Cat making itself comfortable in an entirely inappropriate place (loft?) checks out.
As far as I'm concerned, post away, daily, or even (a little!) more frequently.
As to the photo - it obviously meets your stated goal, but the sun coming through the trees and providing some shadow boundaries, to me, is an important lift to the picture. It suggests to me that, while sticking to your goal, always look for an additional lift, without it needing to be consistent across the set.
Sun, sea and sand ... and cloud !?!
A potent combination - I've had unexpectedly pleasing photos along the same lines
Some bird names are easy to give :)

The photo with the dead tree in the water is really satisfying - well done. A large print and put up on (a shaded) wall sort of thing.
The other photo, of the far side of a lake, doesn't really work for me - there's the tree lines and their reflections pointing to the centre, but there's nothing there to look at. You needed someone waving, or a large treasure chest (X marks the spot) or something.
