Distracted

Here’s Lady who is around 13 years old proving that there’s life in the old dog yet. Although she sleeps well after.

Here she is running towards me in the snow but has been distracted by something in the bush.

She has got one of the floppiest tongues ever.

There’s snow on the ground but how long will it last?

Doesn’t the snow look pretty?

It always seems to bring Britain to a standstill. I don’t think it will this time. Last year we were snowed in for a week and the temperatures dropped to around -17 Deg C. It’s no way as bad as last year yet. I hope it doesn’t get that bad either.

A Mediterranean statue at Eden Project, Cornwall, UK.

This was a display in the Mediterranean Biome in Eden Project along with all manner of unusual statues of women and animals.

Handsome Stranger

Here is a swan in Clumber Park.

Swans are really beautiful birds. It’s not surprising they are protected by the Crown. Not quite sure what the Queen will do with them. It is very surprising that some people will kill these wonderful creatures.

Flying High

A blue sky and bird flying high.

This was taken in Clumber Park, Nottinghamshire, Robin Hood country. A great blue sky and beautiful bird.

String Me Along

A photo of my very favourite ukulele.

This is a Laka cut-away ukulele made by Vintage Ukuleles. A nice uke made from a spruce top and koa wood back and sides. The strings are made by Aquila – Perhaps the best ukulele strings in the world.

A young man stands on a hill in Dovedale.

This was taken in Dovedale in Derbyshire Peak District, UK. A lovely place for a visit. Highly recommended.

Window Shopping

So close but so far away. Out of bounds…

Doing a little window shopping in Cleethorpes while the shops were closed. Those guitars sure do look good through the shutters.

Hauling Pots

Fishermen in their boat just off the coast at Whitby.

On their way to haul in their lobster pots on a beautiful summers day.

I saw you through my lens

A close up of my previous camera.

This was my old (or not so old) Nikon P500. An impressive piece of kit with the 35mm equivalent of a 24mm to 810mm zoom lens. Impressive. Mega-zoom or what?
