Mandarin & Ducklings

I’ve delved into my archives again for this post. I captured these shots during the Summer of 2020. During one of the many lockdowns of the time, when we were allowed to venture outside for exercise. Photo walks are exercise right? If my memory serves me, I spotted this female Mandarin duck nesting with her … More Mandarin & Ducklings

The Park in Mono

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

Damflask Reservoir

At the moment here in England COVID-19 lockdown restrictions have been eased slightly. Allowing us to travel a little further to exercise, as long as we all continue to social distance. So yesterday was the first time since lockdown began in the UK (23rd March 2020) that we have ventured further than our local parks … More Damflask Reservoir

Social distancing, what started as being a bit of … More Community on Lockdown

Although this particular post is actually inspired by an outing we had into town on Tuesday this week (so that my … More City on Lockdown

The Crucible

One of the most recognisable sights of Sheffield is the Crucible Theatre on Norfolk Street, which is probably best know by people outside of Sheffield as the home of the UK Snooker Championships.  The main entrance faces on to Tudor Square, which is also home to another of Sheffield’s grand theatres, The Lyceum.     … More The Crucible

Colours of Autumn

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
