The Gate
Light shining through the trees in the woods surrounding Swettenham Arboretum today gave me an opportunity to make an image I have had in mind for a while.

This is an epic and fun contest run by the one and only +Chrysta Rae where she gives 10 challenges to 500 G+ folks to come up with images representing a word or phrase. Why not pop on over to her stream and see the weird, wacky and brilliant ideas that folk come up with. You've just got to laugh!

On my own
Continuing my single bloom series. This bloom was covered in the first drops of a passing shower, I like showers when they add a little extra to an image! A great big #floralfriday to +Tamara Pruessner and of course no week would be complete without +steph wanamaker, thanks for another fun packed week!

All in a row
These three kings from ...... were parked up on the sea front at Rhos on Sea in Wales, and I've still no idea why or where the drivers had gone to. They parked there each day over the bank holiday weekend though and that gave me a chance to shoot them.

B is for Blur
In camera Paintography or just blurring reality? This is one for my pal +Don Noll who always inspires me to try some paintography, so without the actual software I thought a little in camera blur might meet the requirements!

A is for Abandoned
Its been a long time since anyone lived in this building and now it provides shelter for the sheep against the prevailing winds and storms that penetrate the Snowdonia mountains.

Through the dappled forest
Driving through Gwydir forest above Llanrwst I was met with some beautiful dappled light playing through the trees. I had to stop and capture a moment in time which holds some particularly sweet memories for me.

Food in the land of Giants
Picked out by the sun with a break in clouds, but looking ever so small against the backdrop of Snowdonia, the sheep gnaw away at the grass, thankful that the snow has (almost) disappeared from the landscape.

Lookout point
An iconic view but nevertheless I had to take the image of Warkworth Castle in Northumberland on my visit late last year. The walk along the river is such a peaceful place and the view of the castle looking out over the river valley was majestic. You can just imagine the boats transporting people and goods to and from the local market place with the 'well to do' looking down on the peasants - how times have changed!

If You’ve Ever Asked Me To Review Your Photos, Here’s A Chance — Photo Contest + Camera Bag Giveaway
http://bit.ly/YvaIvj
Hey photo friends, a few weeks ago my staff video guru Erik and I shared a glimpse into an ideal everyday walk-around camera kit. It’s a kit that Erik uses everyday and one that I beg/borrow/steal when not on assignment. Well the good folks over at ThinkTank took note of the love we showed for their Retrospective line of camera bags and sent the studio three of them to do with them whatever we choose. Just so happens we have plenty of camera bags already (2 of the exact models they sent us…), so we want to give these badass bags away to you. So here’s what we’re gonna do:
We wanna see your street photography. Your best everyday photos from being out in the world, covering the earth and actively pursuing the unexpected. Post links to your photos in the comments ... more »

No Entry
Looking like the entrance to an old prison camp, the old farm buildings take on a different feel than originally intended.

Over the Hill
A dark foreboding sky met me today at Macclesfield Forest in Cheshire, behind me blue sky peeping through the clouds, in front of me a heavy downpour and high winds - strange weather to be sure. Time to take some B&W shots I think!

"Hey, Hey its Spring, or is it still winter?"
Planting yesterday here in Manchester, and a fine start today but now we've just had hailstones - whatever next! Still it is Friday and that can only mean its all things FLORAL and the weekend ahead. Whopee
Fritillaria - one of my wife's favourite flowers.

She seemed to know something that the rest of the herd had missed - either that or I was simply the butt of her joke!

Spring is here!
Woohoo, spring has arrived at last! After weeks of cold, snowy conditions in the North of England it looks like spring has finally arrived. I haven't been on Google+ in the last few weeks due to family commitments and a brief respite over in Wales last week recharging batteries. Hope to move forward now and already setting my alarm to catch the sunrise tomorrow - I hope its a good one!

Its always nice waiting for a typical English breakfast - eggs, black pudding, bacon, mushrooms, beans, hash browns......... (you can fill in the blanks). Its the anticipation of the feast to come, and after a long walk in cold Cheshire woodland nothing could be better. Mmmmmmmmmmm lovely!!

Spring is almost here!
At long last it feels like spring is just around the corner. Its been a long cold spell which has kind of supressed my enthusiasm somewhat, still it now feels like the tide is turning! Whoop whoop!!

Thanks to +Mark HELM I came across +James Olmos and listened to his album "Feel the love". This guy has real talent and you should definitely listen to him. He played live in a Hangout on Air and I was blown away! Give it a listen.
If you haven't heard him before +steph wanamaker you really should!

On a Snowy Winters Night
You lucky, lucky people.... I went out tonight in -4 degrees to take some lovely night winter shots. I passed this place earlier today, and thought it looked fantastic, but didn't have my Nikons on me, so I went back to shoot it under the cover of darkness..... Just for You.
We are expecting more snow tonight and tomorrow, hopefully more great winter shots to come. It's really tricky shooting at night, with no lights in the countryside.. but hey, I love a challenge. This shot was a 20 second exposure 100 ISO.
If you like it SHARE IT

I love winter and how it changes things, this is a clematis flower or what is left of it after it goes to seed and dries out. There are just a few flakes of snow on it. The tails are two remaining seeds on the flower. This is a focal stacked image shot outside.

Bucket list
1) Jump out of aeroplane
2) Don't be stupid
3) Combine 1 and 2: Don't jump out of plane but still act stupid - fall into wind tunnel instead and SkyDive - DONE!
Wow, time of my life and wonderful stuff...... Now where is the camera!
Hey, its a lot safer and FUN, FUN, FUN. Sorry but I can't stand heights and this is infinitely safer.

Is that a song I can hear?
The ring of stones found in Happy Valley overlooking Llandudno in North Wales was the site of the Welsh National Eisteddfod which were held there in 1963. The National Eisteddfod is traditionally held in the first week of August and the competitions are all held in the Welsh language. To signify that the Eisteddfod has been held a circle of stones is created, these stone circles are icons all across Wales and signify the Eisteddfod having visited.
Happy Valley lies on the lower slopes of the Great Orme and looks across the pier to the Little Orme - I love it here!

Oh what a tangled web we weave.
Sorting out the mass of cables behind my PC and TV today, something I have meant to do for weeks. One problem still to resolve is the urgent need for a third power surge protector for TV and Sky box, pc and hard drives are protected - just hope my luck holds out for another night!
Hope you all have some sort of protection for your electronic equipment!

Underfoot it was like a bog, with water sodden earth turned into a mud like consistency by the horses kept here. I so wish I had worn something more appropriate! #wetfeet
