Walking in the winter wonderland of Solihull
When the snow first fell the skies were overcast and whilst there was a some beautiful snow scenes, I longed for a blue sky to provide some colour. The next day the sun shone and there were no clouds in the sky. I planned my walk to take me over fields to Widney Road allowing […]
The photographic delights of Umberslade Park
The days before Christmas are a time of waiting and getting ready. It is a strange time this year and the weather is not helping the mood much either. Whilst the rain has left the ground waterlogged, it has led to some lovely puddles lying around. These provide excellent reflections when I am out and […]
Hay Wood: my forrest adventure with my camera
Forestry England have a number of woodlands located across the West Midlands and my closest one, Hay Wood, is located near Baddesley Clinton. I have been a number of times and always found it a wonderful place to visit. It is best described as a peaceful ancient woodland site with a great diversity of wildlife. […]

Mist at Packwood

I planned to go to the canals but passing through Packwood House, the combination of the sun and mist caught my eye. I stopped and started to take pictures. […]
Running with an iPhone
The iPhone is so versatile and useful to have on you. So I always bring it with me when running as you can often capture interesting pictures. This series shows a few I did on a recent run. I did see a couple of Herons but the iPhone was not the right camera especially when […]
Coughton Court
Biking from home to Coughton Court for a photographic visit. Each time I visit the National Trust property, I always spot something new to see. The house is full of interesting rooms and the views from the Tower are wonderful. There is also recounts of the history of the Gunpowder plot. These pictures give a […]
