August at Burwash

 Some images from a trip to the Dragonfly pools on a windy day - Emperor Dragonfly, Brown Hawker, Common Darter male and female (into and away from wind). Mating Common Darters - same photo processed with Lightroom only for noise, sharpening etc or using 3rd party plug ins - Focus Fixer, Define and Viveza (lefthand or top). The latter looks more natural without the slight edging.

The structure below guided the cable onto the cable-laying vessels. closed finally in 1994

Equifest Peterborough

  A free and very large event at the East of England Showground but very difficult to photograph especially on a dull day.

Toft Evening

A few photos from our home on a beautiful summer evening.

Mundesley

 After a cloudy rainy start, it turned very sunny and hot. A few views of holiday makers having fun on the beach under the care of the life guards and enjoying very traditional beach activities, in some cases with 21st century beach wear.

Wimpole Hall

 Although we often walk in the Park, Gardens and Farm at Wimpole Hall, it is very many years since I went round the interior. Wimpole Hall's last owner was Rudyard Kipling's daughter Elsie Bambridge until her death in 1976 when it was bequeathed to the National Trust. Restoration of house and park have continued over the years. It is great to be able to photograph inside these magnificent buildings finding symmetrical architecture and small cameos.

Grass Snake Swimming

 A very long grass snake making its way across the water was about the only thing moving around at Paxton Pits today. All the birds have left or were sitting tight.

Royston Heath

 A few shots from Royston Heath - Large White, Bumble Bee, Y-moth and Dusky Sallow.

Royston Kite Festival

 A perfect day for Royston's Kite Festival with blue skies, puffy clouds and a good breeze. The displays of stunt flying were by the same guys as at Dunstable The area of the Heath where the public flew their kites attracted me with the minute people scattered around and some very large kites.
