  • Nothing since November!!

    Ok, I am pretty rubbish at posting. My excuse, the run up to Christmas then an almost continuous stream of health issues, some of which are ongoing. Just to be a health bore:- January was a DVT in my leg, 3 months of thinner’s for that. Blood test found I was pre diabetic, loose weight…

  • Orchid

    Here is a macro of an orchid I did yesterday.

  • Infra Red

    I tried to take a photo of a flower using my IR converted EOS 20D indoors with no joy. To make sure the camera was ok I took a couple out of the window. Here are the results, the camera is fine but I have learned indoor lighting has no IR content, 740nm.

  • White Hart Inn,Bouth

    I would not normally rave on about an Inn or Hotel, but this one is so good. Situated in the village of Bouth, near Ulverston in the south Lake District. The White Hart is a small Inn with some half a dozen rooms. The rooms are not luxurious but they are unique and quirky, heavy…

Sadly some of the most beautiful buildings are in need of some TLC…

  • Faro

    Terrible weather for a. Coastal walk, we were soaked to our knickers with shoes full of water. We took a coastal walk west of Faro airport and it poured down! Two cafes refused us entry as we looked so bedraggled! The upside was photos of Storks, Spoonbills, Egrets, ducks and a black winged Kite. Ohh…

  • Silves

    Yesterday we went round the town of Silves. I first visited here in 2019 but didn’t have time to explore the place, we passed by on a 24km hike. So it was time to revisit and have a look see. What stunned me was we stumbled across the pizzeria cum bar we used all those…
