A couple of images which have a natural world flavour. The toad was just one of many thousands who were crawling across a path in Hundred Acre Wood in Leeds, whilst these geese seemed to enjoy swimming in line in the moat outside Caerphilly Castle.
A few shots taken in the gardens at Dyffryn House on a lovely July day which we visited with our friends Chris and Carol. I was taken by the reflections created by the water drops entering the pond under the arch. I also created an animated gif of this shot which is rather interesting, I …
