drain away in the cold)

Jim took this of Reena , he's way better
than me with his people shots

This is a big file but it's four 20D 17mm shots
joined by Photoshop.

Omaha Beach and Morris and James Pottery ...again

It was cold in that south-westerly

in a while

What can I say, there was
no way this was staying at Morris and James Pottery

Storms and Daffodils

This appeared in the garden

after we had been delivered two storms in a week.

One was described as a weather "bomb" .
Nothing like the northern hemisphere hurricanes I'm sure but enough

to take down plenty of trees and pelt the house with
debris for hours on end. The power went off
for thousands of homes, including mine.

The team investigates

Never easy to photograph with this
level of contrast , I sympathise with
wedding photographers
