London 2010

I had a trip to London with a few friends yesterday, we had a lot of fun :-)

Just a few images from the day/evening !

2010

A new year and a new decade, wishing everyone that knows me a very happy and healthy 2010, I hope it brings much happiness to everyone :-)

Autumn in Cambridge

Cambridge is such a beautiful place and on Monday the autumn colours were just amazing set against a beautiful blue sky! I took these photos from the punt on the river Cam, it backs on to the Universities. Can't believe we're in November already, where does the time fly?

Volcanoes and sunshine

Spent a week away somewhere warm with Jess, the weather was lovely and we had a great time so I thought I'd add a few photos as always :-)

U2 Wembley 14th August 2009

U2 were AMAZING..

they really rocked, the whole stadium were on their feet.. a fantastic concert.

Castle Ashby in the spring

Its been a while since I updated the blog, sorry.... if anyone out there ever actually reads it LOL.

Here are some photos from last weekend, taken at Castle Ashby...taken using Leica m8.2 and a 28mm lens. The spring sunshine and flowers were beautiful.

Just got back from a couple of days away with friends in Stratford Upon Avon, a lovely relaxing break :-)

Waddesdon Manor

I went to Waddesdon Manor with friends yesterday, took the M8 for its first outing, the 50mm lens isn't quiet enough but it is so sharp. The M8 takes a bit of getting used to but on the whole we had a good day! :-)

Here are a couple of shots from Waddesdon, the garden stautes were still all wrapped up but the flowers were just starting to burst into life... a trip back in a few week is in order i think.

A snowy day .....

Well, its been snowing here pretty much all week, and this morning we got loads more. So I took the camera out with the dogs, despite the fact that it was still actually snowing and my camera was going to get wet!
Here are a few shots of the dogs having fun in the snow!

Ben's 18th Birthday!

Today is Ben's 18th birthday! My baby is 18! Can't believe he's 18 already, those years of growing up have past so quickly, I'm so proud of everything he has achieved already and excited to think what he will achieve in the years to come. Such an exciting time for him, an offer from Cambridge University, the world really is his oyster. Happy Birthday Ben xx

Cornwall

We went to Cornwall for Christmas this year, it was lovely, the cottage was really pretty and the country side was great. Walked and walked, the poor dogs were pleased to come home LOL.
Here are a few shots from our visit, hope you like them. Hope everyone had a lovely Christmas and wishing you all a very healthy, happy and prosperous New Year for 2009.

First and second shots is Port Isaac where Doc Martin was filmed, the next 2 are at St Ives beach, Jess and then the dog who was having a great time LOL.

Lastly was the cottage we stayed in...

More Seals at Donna Nook

Here are a few more shots from Donna Nook, there were a lot of seal pups this time and they are just so sweet, very cute! The light wasn't so good this time and the beach was water logged all the way which made it harder work (on top of having the flu it wasn't good LOL) .

So here they are...

Donna Nook Seals October 2008

Went to Sutton-on Sea with a friend at the weekend, we went to Donna Nook to see the wild seals that come in land to breed at this time of year. It was freezing, the wind was so cold and it whips up the sand in to a sand storm. But the seals are fantastic, its amazing to get so close to them a really great experience.

Here some of my favourite shots, shot with 100-400mm lens, quiet tricky as the wind is so strong, keeping the lens still is really hard as it gets buffited about, really needed a tripod and sand bag...but next time I'll take them LOL.

Autumn....

Well Autumn seems to have arrived already, I love the chilled air and changing colours of Autumn but not the rain LOL. Looking forward to going to places to photograph the changing colours in the coming weeks. Here are a couple of still life shots of some fruit, the colours are amazing.
