Happy New Year!

Wishing you all a very Happy New Year!

It’s been a while since I last posted here, I’ve taken a sort of sabbatical from photography since September, work and life has been such a whirlwind. But, it’s a new year, and this year is my year. My time to enjoy doing what I love.

Last year I had the privilege of having a Turtle dove regularly visiting, and I really hope it comes back this summer. I also completed the Wildlife Trusts 30 days wild, what a fantastic way to reconnect with nature. Talking of the Wildlife Trusts I recently donated some images to their photo library, which I hope will be useful to them. Finally 2015 saw the finish of my ‘Big 30’ project, which really helped inspire me to get out with the camera.

So the new year needs a new challenge, I hope you’ll like what I have in store for you! Watch this space!

Here’s a lucky little Grasshopper making me think of Spring…

All the best to you all, and thank you all for your support over the last year.

  • Wayland Wood

    Visited Wayland Wood in Norfolk for the first time yesterday. The wood at this time of year is filled with birdsong and bluebells, and yesterday, the patter of raindrops on newly unfurled leaves. The dull, damp conditions would have been great for close up photography, but an annoying little breeze made it very difficult. When…

  • To the Sea

    The coast in winter, the roar of the sea, beauty and ferocity. Wind whipped sea foam sparkling in the weak sun, the fizz of waves pouring over pebbles. A twittering from small birds dashing away from the rising tide. I visited the most easterly point in the UK, Ness Point in Lowestoft, in search of…

  • Teased by the Turtle Dove

    Well the last few days have been pretty frustrating. Attempting to get some more photos of the Turtle dove, but not doing very well! A mix of sunshine and showers have made for interesting and difficult lighting conditions. Here are a few that I’ve managed to process today, still got more to go through though….
