June 2010
This sand martin was taken from a hide on a camera club day out at Blashford Lakes in the New Forest, Hampshire.

Loch Tay, Perthshire, Scotland

May 2010
My first ever trip to Scotland! Up at the crack of dawn to capture the beautiful reflections in Loch Tay from the private beach just five minutes walk from our lodge! Bliss!

April 2009
Whilst strolling alongside the River Exe in Exeter, Devon, I stopped to grab a shot of this restored maratime buoy. I was drawn to the vibrant colours of the sky and the red interior, choosing a diagonal composition for added impact.

Male mallard

March 2010
To enhance this otherwise fairly dull picture of a male mallard I gave it some texturising treatment in Photoshop!

February 2010
Another weather shot! These early morning sunrays were enhanced by the mist rising from the stream in Bournemouth Gardens.

Beach hut reflections and jogger, Bournemouth

January 2010
Whilst framing up these colourful beach hut reflections, this jogger obligingly appeared in my picture from the left, adding a little human interest to my shot! A timely entrance!

December 2009
Not a masterpiece by any means... just snapped this in the pouring rain outside my local B&Q store, whilst gearing up for a bit of DIY in the absence of any decent weather for photography!

B&Q rainbows!
Wet November - Poole Quay!

November 2009
With only one day left till the end of November, I still had nothing suitable for my picture of the month! Hence I felt the need to drag myself along Poole Quay for an hour. In the end I decided this shot - taken after I returned to the car - summed up November pretty well for me... grey and wet!

October 2009
A glorious October day was ideal for the three mile walk to this waterfall on Dartmoor where we stopped for a picnic lunch. I couldn’t believe my luck when this perfect picture opportunity presented itself to me... Nicky - whom I didn’t know at the time but later got chatting to - made her way down to this rock where she sat quietly meditating for several minutes. It couldn’t have been any better if I’d set it up myself! Nicky runs her own holistic therapy centre in Hereford. Click here for details.

Sunrise, Bournemouth beach

September 2009
I make no apologies for yet another sunrise on my favourite beach! Well worth the early start!

August 2009
Well, I couldn’t possibly let August pass without a shot of the Red Arrows at the fabulous Bournemouth Air Festival again, could I?
