Brrrrrr . . . . .It’s getting cold, And what happened to Autumn?

I wonder if we’re going to have another bad winter this year. Will the countryside be covered in snow again? If so I may spend a bit of time in the freezing cold taking some photos, either that or I might take some indoor shots. I wonder if the kids will join me in the snow . . . . no snowballing mind you, although I might take a sledge to get home quicker!!

I’ve added a few more photos to the gallery today, please have a look and let me know what you think.

Well, I thought I’d have a go at a feature page.

I’ve called it “Abbeys and Churches”. I enjoy visiting Abbeys, Cathedrals and Churches. They are such interesting places, full of history and character. I’d recommend anyone pay a visit to any of them, you won’t be disappointed.

Why not take a look and leave comments, let me know what you think.

It’s infectious

It looks like photography is infectious!

Saskia has been out and about and taken some photos. She is learning a new skill and as she explores the options photography offers her skills will grow. Learning to use a camera can be daunting, shutter speed here, aperture there, focusing and depth of field everywhere. Over time these technical skills will all fall into place. For now though, she needs to explore her composition and seeing.

Does anyone have any ideas for a theme? If so please leave a reply in the link below.

Xara’s New Toy

Into August now and the weather has returned to the normal English type meaning cooler and wetter weather. For some that’s not good for others it comes as a great relief.

Xara has taken up photography, and with the purchase of her first DLSR camera she was eager to try it out. A recent trip to Bolton Abbey gave her that opportunity.

Her first foray into the art of photography has been uploaded to the site for all to see. Well done Xara, some nice pics. Hope your friends and visitors to the site enjoy them.

Xara would really appreciate your comments and please share on Facebook or Twitter.

It’s Summer

Well, It’s summer again. And what a summer we’ve had so far. In fact what a year we’ve had so far. A very bad winter and now a heatwave. Let’s hope the good weather continues.

I have been out and about, taking some photos. And this year the family are now starting to contribute. We have paid a visit to Bolton Abbey a couple of times, a favourite haunt of ours, in recent weeks. And Malham Cove too.

And so time to add new photos to the site. Over the coming weeks new photos and artwork will be added. Including some from the youngest, Saskia. So please come and visit.
