This grevillea is peaking through our picket fence to the outside world and was covered in raindrops when I saw it recently.
Sunbeams and Roses
I love seeing the sun enter my front garden through my office windows in the morning. If first peaks through the liquidamber leaves and then through the picket fence and finally on the roses.
Sunrise in Selby
Every morning, as I take my husband to the train station, I eye the potential sunrise and wonder if it’s worth taking more shots. This one was taken down the road from where we live – I knew there was a spot on a hill looking towards the reservoir and other hills.
Orphaned Joey Wallaby
Rescued – the poor mother was dying and came to a neighbour’s house before collapsing. My neighbour noticed the young joey and got in touch with the council for help. She called me to come get some pictures before the youngster was taken away to be cared for. Poor little thing. At this stage we…
Yellow daisy and…
Not sure if this is a bee or a fly. Its face isn’t like a bee (I don’t think) but the back looks bee-like. Whatever, it was enjoying the flower.

Split Fig
This fig is high up in the tree – not yet ripened but has split open. I was very surprised when I saw it.

My grandson Oliver loves to pose for me whenever he sees me with a camera. With such a willing model I could get into this portraiture stuff.

An oak from an acorn grows…
No doubt you’ve seen images similar to this one before. They’re popular in stock agencies, for use in magazines, business coaching websites and so on. So I had to do a shot or two of my own. With thanks for my daughter who is the model.
The Road to Kallista
Once a week I go visit our eldest daughter and our grandson and the scenery along the way is really beautiful. In one place I kept promising myself that one day I would pull over and take shots from the road. It is such a peaceful feeling driving along here, even when there is some…
