As I mentioned in my earlier post, life has been hectic of late. Meaning I have not spent much time on my photography. So, this is my first photo post in some time. It feels like it has been a while since I have connected with nature. In particular photographing it. So a few days … More Wild Pink Cosmos
A few months back while visiting Aberdeen we spent an afternoon exploring Seaton Park, which lies to the north of the city on the banks of the River Don. During all my years growing up & living in the city I hadn’t visited the park until this year. I always assumed it was a small … More Donside Crows
Back to some wildlife photography, although I’m sure I will have plenty more photos to share of our fuzzy friend to add to my Cat Chronicles collection. Until last Summer I didn’t realise that we got Grasshoppers here in the UK. I feel quite privileged that each time we have spotted them it has been … More The Grasshopper
Since working from home I try to go out for a walk most days. This usually involves a walk around one of our local parks. I’m always grateful for the amount of green spaces that we have around the city. For a city that has such an industrial background it is probably also one of … More The Park in Mono
These shots were taken a few weeks ago now, but I’ve not had the motivation to write the blog post to go with it. I’m always torn between posting just my photos (literally just photo-blogging) or trying to write some sort of narrative to go with my photos. I never really know what to write. … More Spring in Mono
Some more photos taken during the snowfall a few weeks ago. These shots unlike the ones I shared in my last post were slightly more planned. They were taken while we were out walking round one of our local parks. Although it may not look like it in these shots, the snow had started to … More March Snowfall
This is my first photo post in quite some time. To be honest it’s my first attempt at photography after recent events (if you exclude taking photos of the cat). Last week brought a cold spell here in the UK that I wasn’t quite expecting or prepared for. With that came a decent amount of … More Winter Walk
#NatureForEveryone Anyone who follows my photography knows that it is highly inspired by nature. So when I came across the Wildlife and Countryside Link‘s campaign for #NatureForEveryone, it caught my eye. Although I wouldn’t describe myself as an outdoorsy person, I do love getting close to nature. My first memories of properly connecting with nature … More Nature For Everyone
My first photo post of 2022, although I have to admit this one from my archives taken during last Summer. I’ve not had the opportunity to venture out with my camera yet this year, and the cold Winter weather is doing nothing to encourage me. With Spring just around the corner, I’m hopeful this will … More Nesting Ducks
2021 was a tough year for us all, what with the continued pandemic and accompanying lockdowns & ever changing restrictions. Personally, I feel that 2021 was just an extension of 2020. Thankfully, we saw less lockdowns in 2021 compared to 2020 as we all tried get back into “normal” routines. Although a part of me … More In Review: 2021
Swan’s are one of the most magnificent & elegant water birds (in my opinion). Signets are equally as beautiful in their own fluffy way. Their soft grey down makes them look like little grey clouds floating on the water. I managed to capture a few shots of this Swan & Signet, sadly not swimming together. … More Signet & Swan
I spotted this little fellow (which I believe is a Bush Hen) wading through some Lilly pads. He seemed to be a little lost as he was constantly calling out to I assume his mother and other siblings who were further out on the pond. It Looked as though he went adventuring on his own … More Bush Hen
