Real Women Wear Mud
They do indeed, especially when taking part in a Muddy Run in support of cancer research. The scene is Heaton Park, the time today and still going on as the ladies start their obstacle runs in waves. Sister-in-law Diane started this morning and niece...

Photo bombed
Location, the ancient city of Khiva south western Uzbekistan. A film shoot was in progress - crew and extras, horses and equipment milled around with film stars and curiosity-fueled onlookers. I watched as the main characters were put through their...

Two Victorian Schoolgirls
Well not quite. Sue was dressed in costume and Chloe was in modern clothes, but I thought I would shoot a sequence with them both in the pictures. The location is the untouched top floor of Dam House, where there is still an authentic Victorian schoo...

Home from Home
Due to the totally rubbish building skills of our local woodpigeon couple, they didn't manage to build a nest in the laburnum tree this year. Mum was getting broody so we took it upon ourselves to make them a desres. They moved in immediately. Unf...

Arley Hall Garden Festival, 23/24th June 2018
We went yesterday to this annual event, and what a splendid day it was. Great weather, lots of stalls, demonstrations, displays and plenty to entertain the offspring and offsprings' offsping as well. It was handy that we've just replaced our car with...

Cedar of Lebanon
There's a really huge and old cedar tree in our local park but I've never before noticed any fruit on it. I never even realised they grew cones. :$ Anyway, took a shot of a new cone yesterday. They're huge. This one's about 3 x 4 1/2 inches.

St Andrews Botanic Garden - The Butterfly House
The botanic garden is easy enough to find and for an extra £2.95 we get access to The Butterfly House. Oppressive heat, excellent light and a mass of gorgeous butterflies to photograph make it all very worthwhile. The butterflies can be a bit of a ch...

Sleepy Bobos
My eldest daughter started to read a bedtime story to her daughter last night. She fell asleep herself and the wee one went downstairs to watch Jaws with daddy! Anyone who remembers Alice from the Vicar of Dibbly would see her in my own daughter. Spe...

Scotland's Secret Bunker
Just follow the signs to the Secret Bunker and you'll arrive at a house. Under the house is the secret cold war bunker that was to house Those In Charge in the event of nuclear war. Of course, officialdom can't resist putting up signs, so I wonder if...

Lake district - My first time, Day 2
Day 2 of my trip to the Lake District was a lot more relaxed and laid back! My plan was to get up early for sunset on the second day, but as we know, the best laid plans rarely go..... to plan. On the first day, I got back to my room around 11pm...

Top of St Paul's
Had a good tryout of the new compact camera today, the Lumix TZ100. Very impressed. This shot was taken at full zoom of the very top gallery of St Paul's, then cropped heavily to show the people. It's not perfect, but pretty good. And it's the jp...
