Anyone who follows my Facebook page or even follows my posts here knows, one of my favourite places to go is the Raptor Foundation. My first visit was back back in January 2012, just after I had purchased my Fujifilm HS20. From that very first day one of my favourite birds was Dollar, a baldContinue reading “Dollar – The Bald Eagle”

A Pleasant Surprise

So I had a pleasant surprise today. I occasionally enter the monthly photography competition run by Picture Frames Express. June’s months theme was Gardening.

Weekly Photo Challenge: Transformation

I decided that perhaps responding to the weekly photo challenge in the correct week was actually quite nice, so I thought I’d do it again. So here is my response to this weeks challenge: Transformation. Water is perhaps one of the more obviously changeable things around. Whether it’s as a gas, liquid or solid, waterContinue reading “Weekly Photo Challenge: Transformation”
