Icelandic Horses and Dogs

 Still processing the images from Iceland. Here a few 'aah' images of the Icelandic Horses, Huskies and Collie.

Salts Mill Saltaire

 After a day talking with Yorkshire Monochrome Group, I made a brief visit to Salts Mill for some tea and a look at the David Hockney exhibition. I got intrigued by the collection of chairs and the views out of the windows.

Brimham Rocks Yorkshire

 A walk round Brimham Rocks yesterday on a very windy afternoon with Rowan, Bev and Alastair. Rowan is doing a school project to be photographed in unusal places reading a book. Alastair dusted off the Nikon and tripod after a dormant 6 years and loaded it with infrared film.

Birds in the Mist

Mist on the River Trent

Very misty morning in Burton-on-Trent so ideal for a walk along the river. These are as taken - there was no colour except in the old reeds and nettles. Some water birds to follow as they looked particularly good in the misty light.  

Spring-like Morning at Paxton Pits

 We visited Paxton Pits on a beautiful warm morning. Lots of Great Crested Grebes about but no courting activity yet. One caught and swallowed a fish. The Coromorants were very busy collecting nesting material; a female Goosander and a very confiding Heron completed the catch.

Crufts 2014

Unusually for us, we visited Crufts on a day other than Gundogs  - this year Terriers and Hounds though we did spend time in the gundog section of Discover Dogs. Also had a couple of sessions in the Arena - the usual manic Flyball and some Agility. More Terriers and Hound portraits to come!!
