Winter wonderland

Saturday was so beautiful, I just had to go out with the camera. It was so cold, -9 but the snow just glistened :-)

Autumn mist

Autumn

Autumn...

Summer seems to have given way to Autumn, what beautiful weather we have had, I just love this time of year. The colours and the light are just so beautiful.
Yesterday was one on those days, a day to go out and capture the colours and light.
So I ventured out with the leica and got a few autumn shots..

Summer 2011

This summer seems to be flying past, 6 weeks sounded like a long holiday but we are now half way through :-(
Anyway, Jess and I had a great time in Turkey, it was just so hot, 40 degrees C most days, took Jess 3 days to get used to it.
The scenery is very beautiful, we were about 2K from a place called Kemer, Jess spend 3 hours each day horse riding in the mountains with a Turkish guide called Metin. We had beachdays, pool days and a jeep safari up the mountains which was really cool and that is where most of my images were taken. I also had a Turkish bath, what an experience that was lol.. cooked, steamed, scrubbed and pounded lol..oh and then a massage that was the best bit lol.
I have a new job to look forward to in September, but still only a small step in the right direction, need to keep moving really.. so much still to deal with.
Ben had a fab time in Bangladesh and is now off on a field trip to the Norfolk broads before Uni starts again in October. Jess is waiting for AS results tomorrow..fingers crossed for her.

Enough rambling, here are some of the images from Turkey :-)

Exciting times for Ben..

Well, Ben has left for Bangladesh on a research programme studying Tiger behaviour for a month. Its a little worrying as these tigers are man eating tigers :-( He will hate the heat and the food but other than that should have an amazing time.. what an experience..so happy for him, will miss him terribly and worry like mad but I hope he has a great time.

Another Birthday...

Well another year older, wiser may be :-)
I do wonder where the time goes, it does seem to fly past..
So what to do on my birthday, well out forlunch with friends then out to dinner with the children :-) not a bad way to spend a birthday!

Thought I'd post a photo from yesterday one of me and one of Jess who is now looking so very grown up :-)

Time...

Wow how time just passes by so fast, 3 years since losing Dad. Can't really believe its been so long, some times it seems like ages ago and other times just like yesterday.
Miss your company Dad, love you always xx

Seals

Here are a couple of the photos from my trip to Donna Nook last November, a little late but here never the less.

The first day of a New Year !

Happy 2011 to anyone that might trip over this blog. I hope that the New Year brings you much happiness.
Who knows what it will bring but looking forward is a good way to be I think, I often look back for too long but not this year.
So here is hoping that 2011 is a great year for everyone xx

Life never stops surprising you does it?

Well what a strange week... it really is true that you never know what is around the corner. I sometimes think that its just as well you don't. Not necessarily bad just strange..unexpected... and a little difficult to get your head around, but hey I will once the shock wears off.

Well the seals at Donna Nook were amazing as always, will get some photos up may be over the weekend, just to record the fact that I was there :-)

Can it really be the 1st December next week? where has this year gone?  Not nearly ready for Christmas, will have to get sorted out.... eventually but I guess eventually has almost arrived LOL

Time goes by..

(Taken at Bradgate Park)

Time flies by doesn't it..winter seems to have arrived and life is as ever hectic, things don't always go the way you hoped or the way you wanted or sometimes the timing of events doesn't work out. It would be nice if things worked out just a little for once . Guess somethings simply aren't meant to work out.
Still, a new chapter, a new page.. won't be too long before its a new year.. my baby will be 20 in 2011 .. how did that happen? So many great memories and lots to look forward to.
Well I'll post new photos soon, thought I'd just post some ramblings since I haven't posted in a while. If you're reading this its not very interesting I'm afraid, just a place to to dump life and somewhere to post photos through life..so I don't really know why you're reading it LOL .
 
 

Polo at Kirtlington

Well life has moved on some what as it does.... haven't posted for some time, been so busy .
I took these a few weeks ago, polo is a lot of fun and I'm beginning to get some of the rules at last LOL.
Anyway shooting these was fun, they really move fast and are full of action, the riders have amazing control of the horses.

Promise to post more stuff soon....

The Farne Islands

Its been ages since I last posted... life has been a bit hectic and takes different turns.. but thought I'd post a few photos from my trip with fab friends to the Farne Islands last weekend.
Puffins on Staple Island and Inner Farne and sunset over Bamburgh castle.
Here's a link to my flickr page with more images http://www.flickr.com/photos/pivotalphotography/

April

Where does time fly? I haven't up dated this for a while, its been a bit hectic. Life takes you all over the place doesn't it?
Good thing is the spring has sprung ... the sun is out... (please stay) and lots to look forward to :-)
I'll post again soon with some photos...

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?
