Sheep by the loch

Scottish castles by the loch

This was taken on our fun bus trip to Oban and all the lochs. Shame it was dark about 20 minutes after this shot and we saw Loch Lomond in the dark!

Frosty Berries

Durham Cathedral by the river

It doesn't get much better than this... too many nostalgic memories for me, particularly as it was one of those late autumn sunny days walking through the woods and across Prebends bridge..

Cathedral Cloisters, Durham

Everyone's had a go at this picture... so I thought I may as well join in!

Sanctuary knocker, Durham Cathedral

Cumbria

Bamburgh, Northumberland

The beach was more beautiful than the castle to me...the pastel shades are terrific. Ella had great fun with the strips of seaweed as a new game.

Perfectly placed sheep

They are not as perfectly placed as their Herefordian cousins, but I think these guys have better ears..!

Haltwhistle - stone walls

Badminton Horseless Trials 2006

This is the before shot of today's 5 mile run through Badminton Horse trials...without a horse! We ran for CLIC-Sergeant and I'm feeling the aches in my knees now...

Pam - the sleeping wedding auntie

It was after 1am.. the wedding was just starting and it was freezing cold... Pam was dozing off while Raj was running around the fire getting married..

Irish Reeds

Grapes in Pomerol, France

I know they're not ripe yet, but how fabulous!

Les Fleurs, Cercoux, France

Hay Bale Perspective, Dartmoor

The hedge jumps out at you here...but the hay bale is some way away. This was taken with a very long zoom (God bless my new Canon with 10x optical).

Fine cheeses, Edinburgh

Door Knocker, Stockbridge, Edinburgh

This picture is not doctored. I love all about it - shapes, colours. I just wish it were my door!

Crail - a pearl in Eastern Scotland

Lobster pots. It was a shame we went on a Monday as the lobster and crab shack was shut so no dressed crab for us.

Holyrood - Pompidou in Scotland?

I must admit. I really liked it.

Edinburgh Lamps - just off Princes St

After a fruitful visit relaxing with Jo in Edinburgh, I was spoilt for choice with picture opportunities. The Georgian architecture was stunning, particularly with Holyrood starkness at the end of the Royal Mile.

Rain Bells, Kyoto

Reeds in the sun

Huts, Wells Next the Sea, Norfolk

Moody Southern Ireland

From 2003. I've been busy moving so my camera has been packed away for a few weeks...!

Wells next the sea, Beach Huts

perfect moment over Easter at Wells next-the-Sea with beautiful pastel beach huts against the pine woods. I've added in a whole new album dedicated to Norfolk Beaches craziness.. and to think, it's not even summer yet!
