Little Egret.

The Little Egret was taken from a distance of about five yards. He visits Mote Park, Maidstone every winter giving wonderful views to people walking by.

Badger in the daytime.

We were visiting the Rye Harbour Nature Reserve in may and had just passed Castle Point when the badger appeared. It hung around for over forty minutes and came to within three yards of us. So from two until two forty/45 we were treated to a grandstand view of this elusive animal.

Frog of the year- or is it a Toad?

This beauty was in our back garden near the pond. I ran back for the camera and managed to get three photographs of him/her. It was in early August and the sun was up. There was a smaller one close by but it jumped into the bushes.

A White Cloud- Thank God.

I took this photo in August of this year. It was taken from outside our front garden. Yes it looks like a cloud of nuclear dust but that would not be white. Still an interesting shot.

Chaffinch at Bempton

We had had a glorious day birdwatching at Bempton Cliffs near Bridlington and were just having a bite to eat outside the visitor centre when this Chaffinch landed about a yard away. He returned a number of times for ther crumbs falling at our feet.

There are so many colours and shades of colour on these birds. We now have a pair in our garden that must be nesting close by, so glad of that.

Shellduck.

Taken in Regents Park London on a sunny April afternoon this shellduck and others gave magnificent views both in and out of the water. With its shimmering colours it is a wonderful bird to photograph and watch.

Moonlight.

I like this photo that June took one night when she found it hard to sleep. The moon is a good subject when it comes to art. Some photographers are so dedicated to their calling spending hours in a hide or standing knee deep in icy water for the perfect shot. Any photo though is an image of a moment in time, a historic reminder of something only you were able to see at that second and from that particular angle. Some will bring back memories both good and bad, will cause you to laugh or even to weep, others will enable you ( us ) to look to the future and continue on the journey of life seeking for thet perfect experience or photograph.
