Just a few miles northwards, the rock at the coast is noticeably different to that at our local beach. It is softer, so erodes with a completely different feel to the textures and shapes visible. The barnacles and limpets certainly love it, and I think the limpets have had something to do with the creation... Continue Reading →
I have gathered a small gallery of images looking at the interesting rock formations at the beach.
I've been renewing some content on my Pixels print shop today. In truth, since re-opening the account there in 2020, it hasn't seen much love -- from either me or anyone else. However, as I do see an email from them telling me even my old images on there have been looked at every week,... Continue Reading →

I like a gnarly old Hawthorn tree. They're a stoic kind of tree, not fussy about position and soil quality at all, seeming to just get on with doing their thing wherever they find themselves growing. Most don't end up being trees at all, just a constantly trimmed piece of a mixed hedgerow environment, so... Continue Reading →
This question was asked of me by a friend, who I think was angling to have someone take their forthcoming wedding pictures for them on the cheap.
