I love the birds in my garden but also love a walk around our local RSPB site. For the first time in ages – it wasn’t raining and it was a cold sunny day. Spent a lovely hour in the garden hide at Old Moor. There were a group of long tailed tits who are lovely but don’t stay still for very long. The usual … Continue reading Bird watching
I’m a lover of dead flowers and the texture and lines they contain but I also love weeds! If you find the right light some weeds will give you really abstract images which look amazing when they are printed in a large format. Its about what you see – there is beauty everywhere. These were all taken at RSPB Fairburn Ings today where the light … Continue reading Weeds can be beautiful too
A couple of months ago a bought a Canon 100 – 400mm zoom lens with the intention of hoping to improve my bird and wildlife photography. This is a slow process and I maybe get a couple of shots per session which are OK. It’s hard stepping out of your comfort zone but rewarding learning new techniques. We live near RSPB Old Moor and spend time … Continue reading Signs of Autumn – my favourite season
I’ve been a member of the RSPB for a number of years now but have only recently had time to actually visit some of the sites apart from Old Moor which is fortunately within walking distance. Although they all vary in size, type of reserve and wildlife found there – they are without fail, wonderful places to visit.

A day at RSPB Bempton Cliffs followed by a night in a boutique hotel in Filey (who knew that such things existed!) – woken by the sound of the sea and seabirds, followed by a day taking flower photos at Burton Agnes Hall. Nature is amazing … Continue reading July 17th The Restorative powers of Nature
I haven’t blogged or uploaded any images for a few days even though I have hundreds that need editing! I want to blog about the last few days but can’t yet. We have been through every emotion you can imagine from fear to frustration from tears to gratitude. Mum is still with us but is on ‘End of Life care plan’. She is very ill … Continue reading 8th – 16th June
I can’t write about this week yet as it’s too hard! Mum was rushed into hospital and was seriously ill. She is physically recovering but her dementia is worse than ever. These are a few random images from this week – a lovely day with Tommy before we had to rush to hospital and a few images of birds using my new lens! Will update … Continue reading 23rd – 30th May
Random couple of days – Tony’s birthday, a Tommy day and a visit to RSPB Old Moor for an hour – been trying to do my accounts but would rather be taking photos Continue reading 27th – 29th April
Bit of a ‘catch up’ today as yesterday’s post was for the TSA to get the Learning Carnival photographs up! Sunday was Rosa’s 3rd birthday party Tuesday was a visit to RSPB Old Moor just for half an hour – the bird of paradise flowers were brought back by Amie from Gran Canaria – very impressed! https://www.twenty20.com/jane.hewitt271/photos You can purchase images from the above … Continue reading 12th, 14th & 15th April
