The Egret stops to ponder by the pool.



Absolutely captivating watching the Hummingbirds in Tobago.
Beautifully fascinating, could have watched them for hours.

Some Favourite Walks









Enjoyable walking with glimpsies of Autumn colours once the morning mist had lifted.



A very long walk amongst the Quantock Hills with many routes to choose from. Sightings of pheasants, to deers & even wild ponies


Walking from Tarr Steps, Somerset, alongside the river & through woodland on the way.




This particular walk was done in the Springtime, as Blue Bells were discovered along the way.

Silhouette's

















I like various aspects of seasonal change & these photo's reflect some of Winter scenes taken early morning set in the Quantock Hills of Somerset


Me & My Shadow




Really must introduce you to

my dog Max!




Recently, this Summer, we had a lodger staying,
a Cat called Echo.

My shadow at it again!!!



Max really enjoys being one of the family & he just has
to join in, particularly at Christmas time!!!

Escape to the Sea















Just really enjoy the moods of the sea & its effects to the objects it comes in contact with.
