Cute mushroom

We spent some time in the Lake District a few weeks ago, and on one day we walked up Gummer’s How. Back near the car park we came across this adorable little mushroom in a forested glade.

Spring Lamb

On Good Friday we visited Cannon Hall Farm and saw a huge number of sheep and cows and pigs! This little guy, probably no more than a few days old, took my photographic eye and, with a little bit of patience, struck a good pose.

Fountain’s Abbey

I took a trip out to Fountain’s Abbey this weekend. We’ve never been before but it’s had a place on the “to visit” list since we moved to Yorkshire again. The grounds are massive and really good walk alongside the pleasant water, gardens and stonework buildings; although I didn’t actually see a fountain… This is [...]

Ethereal Forest

Distinct lack of action here due to house move and new job! I have finally got round to sorting out the computer and am currently re-editing old photos. I found this one yesterday and liked the lines and the greens. The location is Hamsterley Forest, a great spot for walking and mountain biking! I’ve also [...]

Exploring the Priory

Finally got to explore Finchale Priory earlier this month, taking advantage of some great Winter sun that creates beautiful golden light before sunset. I’ve been here before with my camera, but only briefly so it was great to get the chance to have a proper look around. This shot is looking across the River Wear [...]

Best of 2011

So like the rest of the internet I’m doing a round up of 2011. When I started this post I didn’t really feel I’d taken that many photos that I was really pleased with in 2011, but looking back across my blog and portfolio I’ve decided that on the whole I’m very pleased with what [...]

Simon’s Science

I’ve not been out taking photos much recently so have really fallen behind updating things here. I have, however, been writing a lot! I started my science blog (Simon’s Science) and have published five posts so far. I’ve written about a fair few topics, including sticklebacks, bats & butterflies; I’d love it if you’d check [...]

Spot the ball

I took some photos of the Phoenix HC Men’s 1st XI game last weekend. This was a match against University of Essex Men’s 1st XI that unfortunately ended in defeat for Phoenix. I particularly liked this shot, it gave me a chuckle. The other shots I was pleased with are below:

Rememberance

Tea

Sometimes tea is what gets you through a tough day, apparently (I don’t drink tea). I’m not publishing this post at 11:11 on the 11/11/11 on purpose at all.
