Taken yesterday on a dog walk through part of the Wychwood Forest not far from home – such a nice sunny day for a long walk! Technical details: Fuji X-E1; 30mm(XF18-55mmF2.8-4 R LM OIS); 1/200s@f5.6; ISO200 – handheld – post-processing in Luminar 4 and Lightroom – DSCF190620050310579
A quick birthday post – Here are some busy bumblebees captured on a walk up to the top of Shipton Down in the Cotswolds – this was captured with the standard 18-55mm lens, so I was pretty close, but due to a gusty breeze, the flowers were moving every so often – so I am lucky…
So – it’s my birthday today – just finished work and heading home – hoping for a home-made birthday cake and a beer (though maybe not together!) 😉 Anyway, as a special treat, here are two photos from recent walks with my camera and Sparky (though he doesn’t feature in either of these this time)…
Glorious daffodils – there are lots appearing around Shipton – many different varieties in the driveway up to the secret garden (a wild wood that is open to the public) and these miniature examples found while returning from a short Sunday walk (between rather heavy rain showers) in a border by the road. Spring is definitely…

Took this with the largest aperture I could to throw the background out of focus (f3.2 rather than f2.8 as I had to zoom in…
Two photographs of bluebells taken on the short walk back to the car from the Wellington Monument. Not seen many of these this year, but not been walking through many woods – most of my walking is being done across fields taking Sparky for his exercise or in town near the office! Technical details:…
Spring has arrived here in the UK – recently we have had some very warm and pleasant weather (though as we go into a Bank Holiday weekend, typically, the forecast is for rain…needed after the dry weather, but during the working week would be fine!) Here are some Forget-me-Nots that are growing on the the…
This photograph was taken in the Wychwood Wild Garden in Shipton-under-Wychwood – a fantastic day – sunny, clear blue sky, temperatures above 20˚C on Sunday 16th March 2014. We had just been to The Lamb Inn in Shipton for lunch (recommended!) – we ate a birthday lunch for my wife outside (pretty good for March in the…
