[Graves Park, Sheffield] You can’t visit Grave’s Park without visiting their herd of Highland Cattle. I still love the fact that they keep highland cattle. In my opinion “real coos”, even in the wilds of Yorkshire there is a hint of my Scottish surroundings. The heat yesterday seemed to be taking its toll on the … More Highland Coo’s

I forgot how much I love Autumn. I may not be a fan of the cold that the Autumn and Winter months bring us, but when the sun is shining on a warm Autumn’s day it brings to life the colours of Autumn. As natures greens turns to golds, reds, and browns, giving us the last hint … More Colours of Autumn

Another botanical photography expedition, one of the many things that I love about living in Sheffield is that even in the heart of the city you are never far away from the beauty of nature. There is no shortage of green spaces in the city. I seem to be drawn towards capturing natures floral masterpieces … More Summer Blooms
Living in the city sometimes I think we all forget about the nature that is right on our doorstep, myself included. You can find a glimpse of nature in any urban space. Across the road from our own urban space we have our own little glimpse of nature. Reminding me that beauty can be found everywhere.
[Woodbourn Hill, Sheffield] Everyone has a different view on how they perceive graffiti: is it street art? or not? Personally my view is dependent on the quality of the graffiti. There are some amazing examples around Sheffield of what I classify to be street art.
While on our trip to last month up to Aberdeen we took some time out to Visit Stonehaven and explored the harbour. So many childhood memories of spending summer evenings around the harbour.
[St Machar Cathedral, Aberdeen, Scotland] On our recent trip up to Aberdeen to visit family and friends we took some timeout to visit St Machar Cathedral, which is located in the old town of the city.
