A summer evening walk

It was a lovely day here yesterday so we went for a walk in the evening and the light was beautiful. I really love this photo - simple but lovely, I think.

New website!

I have been busy sorting out my new photography website as my last one was due for renewal and I decided to look around to see what else was available. I am really pleased with how the new one is looking and it's much easier to manage.

Take a look and let me know what you think? *NEW WEBSITE*

I have more photos to add to it and will obviously add more on an ongoing basis too :)

Little Louie

Today we went for a walk with a friend and her dog - he's a lovely little guy, here are a couple of photos ...

Duck!

Today, walking along a canal, we came across a duck and her babies. Very sweet sight. I stopped to take a few photographs.

Here is mum:
One of the beautiful little ones ...


and one of mum and babies :-)

First Walk

We met this little lovely on our walk this morning. It was his first walk in the big wide world. Very sweet.


For an idea of just how little he is ...

Sunny fields

After all the rain yesterday, the sun came back today.

Cranford - BBC drama, filming Christmas special

Yesterday a friend of mine, a blacksmith, was being filmed for the BBC's Christmas production of Cranford, a period drama. We went to visit the set and I was able to take some photos, so thought I would share some here ...

Here he is, all dressed/made up:

With the horse and cart ...

What an exciting afternoon!

My birthday!

Today was my birthday - we went for a walk, a rather wet walk as it turned out, so not too many photos, but I did manage to take this photo of this lovely young bird, while they kindly sat and posed for me for a short while :-)

Woof!

Earlier I received an email advising that my photo greetings cards had been blogged about on Folksy Finds. Very exciting :-)

This card of mine was chosen for the feature:


You can read the article here. My Folksy store can be found here.

When all around you are losing theirs ...

We seemed to lose a head on the morning walk today ...


and also gained a slightly crazy looking one :-)


Fortunately the head re-appeared after a good roll in the grass. Unfortunately the head was covered in the delights of fox pooh.

Time to head for home ... and a shower ;-)

Summertime ...

Our morning walk started off with meeting this little one who was enjoying the shade until we stumbled along.



The dogs enjoyed a little run around while it was still cool enough to do so:


Mr Collie caught the scent of something ...


and did some posing in the long grass :-)


On the way back, we met a sheep and her little ones, who seemed to have broken free of their field and were out for a wander. We gently guided them, from a distance, back towards their rightful place and away from the road. Very sweet sight, mum followed by her three babies.


After all the excitement, it was time to head for home and a cup of tea :-)

Cool Jack

We met this lovely young man on our walk this morning. Gorgeous boy, very sweet and with his dad's permission he sat and posed for a few photos for me :-)
