Goosey Goosey
The children had a day off school today – and for once we had glorious sunshine, so we went to Birdworld. Not that I have a thing about reflections or anything, but I loved this picture of the chatty geese.

I took this a week or so ago, before we had all the vile snow. I was taking some pictures of the frosty morning – the light was exceptional – and my shadow just caught my eye, falling across the driveway like that. The small pink highlight in the corner is my littlest, who just [...]

ABC Wednesday – Z ….is for Zoo!
I’ve been looking for an excuse to post this! Lemurs at Marwell ZOO, taken a while ago, but given the weather today (more vile snow), I know just how they feel. More takes on the letter Z at ABC Wednesday

Surrey Snow
Our world is black and white today – at least until you look really hard for the colours. We enjoyed our snow day today.

Ethereal/Translucent 26/Aug/09
We went rockpooling at low tide on Exmouth beach, and Honey caught a crab … I photographed it in her bucket with pretty low expectations. I certainly wasn’t expecting this bit of translucent magic. YAY!
