Welcome to my site
Update notes
16/06/08 - I have now joined the Dartmoor Zoological Park. It is only a short distance from our home and I will be making regular trips there. The park has come a long way since the new owners took over last year. I had only been once before, many years ago and vowed not to go again. However it feels like a different place now and I want to support the new owners and the efforts they have put into the animals welfare. The park is mostly in quite dense woodland so photography can be a bit difficult for amateurs like me. However the tiger enclosures are a delight, for the animals as well as photographers, hence my first photos are all of these magnificent beasts. They were all taken on the 75-300mm lens.
Hopefully as I get more experienced and familiar with the park I will be able to get some reasonable photos of some of the other animals.
14/06/08 - I have added some photos to a new photo gallery called Jersey. My husband and I met while we worked in Jersey in the early 1980s and we spent three happy years there. We have not gone back that often but returned in October 2006 to celebrate our 24th wedding anniversary. It has taken me a long, long time to sort through the photos from this trip!
27/01/08 - My youngest daughter left home last week to study for a commercial pilot's licence. Before she left I asked my elder daughter to come over and then bullied and cajoled them into posing for me. They do not like posing for photos at all and it took a lot of bribery. I wanted to try and take my first portraits and liked the idea of high and low key images. I have posted a couple here and would love to have feedback on whether I am getting there with this type of photography. Regardless of whether I actually got it right with these images I love them anyway, knowing what went into getting them I was pleased that the girls actually look happy in a couple of them!!
I have also added a couple of photos to the baskebtall gallery following a brilliant win against Milton Keynes Lions on 19th January 2008. Pity we lost the next day to be knocked out of the BBL cup competition but that Lions game was the best we have seen for some time.
30/12/07 - Have added some photos to the basketball gallery. Although I take between 50 and 100 at each game the Plymouth Raiders play at home, I rarely find time to sort them and put them on here. Hope you like the ones I have picked!
I will also be posting, soon hopefully, some photos from our Canadian holiday (taken to celebrate our 25th wedding anniversary) in September 2007. I have only just started to sort these photos so it may take some time!
15/08/07 - I have managed to find some more time and have started to load a selection of other photos from our African safari. Enjoy....
28/7/07 - At last I have found the time to start uploading some photos from our African safari holiday in June. Starting with cheetahs.......more to follow soon.
10/7/07 - My youngest daughter and I have just returned from a wonderful holiday in the Sabi Sands region of South Africa. I have come back with hundreds of photos that need to be sorted and I am sure that some will find their way, eventually, to my galleries. For the 'big five' and cheetahs, I can thoroughly recommend this area. You are also so close to the animals that my 75-300mm lens was sometimes too long and a wide angle (17-40mm) was the only way to take the shot! To enable the photos from South Africa to be in a separate gallery I have changed the name of the present African gallery to Botswana. I am sure that these more recent photos will turn out to be better than those taken in Chobe in 2005.
Come back to have a look at some of the photos from this trip very soon.
15/4/07 - deleted several photos and added new ones to basketball and South West galleries.
14/1/07 - one new photo added to the basketball gallery.
13/9/06 - three new photos added to South West gallery and three to the basketball gallery.
3/8/06 - started a new gallery - The North East - and added some photos from our recent holiday.
1/6/06 - photos from Brentor Church added to South West gallery.
28/5/06 - photos from Wistman's Wood on Dartmoor added to South West gallery.
17/5/06 - web site started.
Introduction
I am an enthusiastic amateur photographer and I take photos because I really enjoy it. They may not be technically correct but I like them because they bring back memories of wonderful places and happy times.
My photos are for pleasure and not for sale. This site has been set up so that my family, friends and any other interested people can see the photos too. I am learning all the time and would really welcome any comments you may have on those photographs in my galleries.
I will be changing these regularly and hope you come back and browse again.
