Photographer from Warwickshire posting landscape, and occasional wildlife, images from home and beyond.
- First Light.
- Last week we had to put down our 13 week retriever pup, Jess, due to renal failure. Last night our neighbour, gave us this-a rose called 'Pretty Jessica'. I hardly know the neighbour but am touched beyond words at the kindness. I'm also reading how to manage roses as I can't let this flower die. 🙂
- Damselfly at dawn
- Marbled whites at sunrise.
- The golden path.
- A yacht dwarfed by the mountains alongside Lake Garda in the evening haze.
- Sunrise on Venice's Grand Canal
- Incoming!
- Had my first early butterfly shoot of the year yesterday. I'd seen this pair the evening before, marked the spot, then went back to them at sunrise.
- When I arrived at these woods I thought a photo like this unlikely. It was cloudy and forestry works meant that there were dead fallen trees everywhere so finding a composition was really tricky. Eventually the clouds broke up and sunshine flooded in for a few seconds at a time to allow this image.
- A Cuckoo Flower at sunrise.
- An early Spring dog walk.
- The start of a perfect day on the river Frome. Wareham in Dorset.
- Here comes the sun...
- Spring Sunshine..
- Perfect light in a Snakehead fritillary meadow
- Tunnel of Gold.
- Lighting up time. London's skyline at dusk.
- Vanishing Point
- Shard Afterglow. The shard at sunset taken from the far side of the river Thames near London Bridge.
- I don't do "street" photography so I was particularly happy with this one from Canada Square last weekend. I had to wait a while to get the right person in the right spot but eventually it worked out perfectly.
- The Proposal. The sails are going back up on Chesterton Windmill in the next few days after 3 and a 1/2 years. This was the last image I took before they came down in 2021-I don't know if it was a proposal but the couple under the mill looked like that.
- Gateway to history. 900 year old Corfe castle at sunrise.
- After spending yesterday morning photographing Warwick Castle, I thought I may as well go back for a sunset too...
- Row your Boat. One I took whilst waiting for the fog to clear at Warwick Castle.
- Well, it took a while, nearly 90 minutes to be exact, but eventually the fog cleared and standing on the castle bridge, waiting for the castle to show itself, paid off. Luckily fate gave me a bonus rower for my patience. #warwickcastle
- A walk in the fog.
- The Pinnacle, Studland Bay, Dorset
- Resilience. This is from 2021 at one of the best floodplain wildflower meadows in the country and each spring is full of snakehead fritillaries. Except the last 2 years were so rainy that they have been underwater! I'm keeping my fingers crossed for a drier one this year and conditions like this.
- One from a lockdown project in May 2020.
- Gold but Cold...
- Sunrise over the River Frome in Wareham, Dorset.
- Winter, deep in Cannock woods.
- Trees in the mist, taken from the top of Mam Tor just after sunrise.
- Now that the days are getting longer I'm looking forward to evenings like these . Watching foxes in hay meadows with the sun on my back is a great way to spend an evening.
- Sunrise over Corfe Castle. I spent an hour watching this scene develop on Wednesday morning as the light crept over the land, the chimneys began smoking in Corfe village, and the birds began singing in the first nearby. Great way to start the day.
- Corfe Castle at sunrise this morning.
- Chasing the Sunrise. One from Cannock Chase a few weeks ago. It's an apt title for this image as I arrived late, saw a great sunrise developing, and ran around like a headless chicken trying to find a subject and angle for a decent shot.
