Archive Images

Two images from Ecuador trip and one from London. As it was too wet to garden, decided to sort through a few back images, delete those I will never work on and share the one I particularly like. I wonder where the owner of the icecream went!

Website updated

At last, I have got round to putting South Africa, Bass Rock and Ecuador Nature pictures onto my website http://www.pin-sharp.co.uk

Rufous-tailed hummungbird

Last one from Ecuador - the complete catalogue of birds is now accessible from my website but this is my favourite - mainly because I have knipofias growing outside my study window in Cambridge but the most exotic species I have seen on them here are goldfinches

Green Thorntail

Spider from Ecuador

View of Antisana Volcano Ecuador

Taken from nearly 15,000 feet on a beautiful sunny but icy morning. Good day for a brisk walk but at that altitude everything had to be done more slowly.

Back from Ecuador

Back from a week photographing birds - mainly hummingbirds in Ecuador.

This one is called Shining sunbeam which seems a reasonable name for a bright orange bird.
