So the Great Blue Heron is back in all his glory. He was around briefly over winter but his beautiful blue had gone a dull brown. Now that we're in Spring he'll be on the lookout for a mate and his colours are a big part of his attraction. Spotted this guy yesterday on our… Continue reading Photographing a heron and Waxwings

This lone tree is always striking, but more so now that the leaves have gone and you can see the structure. The second photo is one of my favourite spots on… Continue reading Winter morning
