Cotswolds

Had a great few days away in the Cotswolds last week despite the weather which was, shall we say, changeable! You don't really expect to go away in England in the summer and not expect some rain.

Unlike the Lake District last year, I didn't take too many pictures as I was enjoying the riding / walking with some good company but here are a few of my shots from around the Cotswolds.

Lake District Landscapes

I recently travelled up t'north to the Lake District for a few days away.

That area of the UK has stunning scenery so I took my camera gear with with me and in between the seasonal downpours, snapped a few shots.

Here are a few of the landscape shots that I took.















There will be a follow up post entitled, Lake District Waterfalls so watch out for that!

Spring Is Here

A bit lacking on posts recently as I have been busy and haven't had much time to get out and about with the camera.

Well, the clocks have changed and the weather has taken a turn for the better (although I hear it's going to start to get worse again now!!) and spring is definitely here as my body has informed me with the sneezing and runny nose - how I love hay fever!!

Here are a couple of spring time photos that I managed to catch in between the sneezes!!

Winter Walk

After the festive season excesses, I really needed to get out for some exercise. Thought about going for a run and then decided on a nice walk in the country instead ;-)

Here are some of the pictures that I took on my travels.

Malta Moments

At the end of last month, I headed over to Malta for a wedding and a well received break. Two good friends were getting married over there and a contingent of family and friends all went over for the occasion.

Other than a few pre wedding shots that the bride had requested and a few snaps of the wedding, I barely touched my camera for the rest of the week but here are a few Malta moments that I did catch.

Sack the Weatherman

At the start of the week the forecast for the weekend was pretty dire saying it was going to rain. This worried some friends of mine who were off to the Isle of Wight festival.

Anyway, luckily for the festival goers and little old me it looks like the weathermen got it wrong again as the weekend (today especially) were great weather wise.

I always like clouds in landscape photography as I think they add a more interesting depth to the shot.
