You just can’t keep me out of the picture
One I just couldn’t resist from the Hearts of the Rainbow weekend. Self-promotion or what!!!

Open Up, Get Present, Do What Matters
This shot would not win any prizes, but then none of mine would as I don’t enter them into any competitions!! However, this on her kitchen wall, is a way of introducing and showcasing my daughter’s installation “Hearts of the Rainbow” which she exhibited in the Kirkstall Art Trail this year. I’m really proud of

The Green Bridge of Wales
Another one of the classic shots. However, I’d never been to this spot before despite many trips to Pembrokeshire. Thus I was very pleased to have a lovely sunny day. Unfortunately, I didn’t bring my tripod with me so the shots of the birds are not as sharp as I’d have liked them to be

More macro magic
Having a cup of tea at Stackpole Walled Gardens this grasshopper decided he wanted to come and join us. Thank you. Scrabble for macro lens, light perfect, no excuses just frame get the right depth of field and shoot! This little fellow was an excellent subject he just didn’t want to move. Even obliging us by
Wren by the roadside
The 80mm Macro lens with the ridiculous number of pixels that the Sony A7r provides you with, allows you to crop like crazy. So … on a walk from Broad Haven to Little Haven (for supper) I stopped and watched, and waited until I could get this shot of a wren returning to its nest

Proud of my son!
Breaking a rule – you’re allowed to aren’t you? Here’s a picture of DeeJay on the last stretch of his first triatholon – he did really well for his first attempt. He knows now he needs to improve his swimming and he’ll be competing well. I suppose having broken my golden rule of not including
Walking round the mountain
We were using our bus passes to explore Anglesey, but our last trip was somewhat curtailed by the long time it took (with two buses) to get from Llangoed where we were staying (big shout-out for Kingsbridge Caravan and Camping Park) to Holyhead. So we got a taxi to take us to South Stacks Lighthouse (above

Solitary Boat
Photographers love their solitary trees – I’ve taken a few. I’m thinking of starting a new “fad” – solitary boats/ Jenny wondered why I was taking such a long time over taking this shot. The reason was that there were people walking on the beach, beside the boat … everywhere, and I had to wait
Capel Lligwy
I’m beginning to get better at framing a picture, of seeing the composition, and just moving a few feet, or even inches left or right, back or forwards to just get what I want to capture. That was the case when I took this picture of the ruined chapel of Capel Lligwy which stands on
Beaumaris
You have to take this shot. Everybody else who visits the castle does, you just hope yours works out well. This one did. A stitched panorama taken from just beside the Visitor Centre. The town of Beaumaris is itself very photogenic, reminding me of some of the villages and towns on the west coast of
