A Step In The Right Direction!




TFI Friday, even if I do have to work tomorrow too :(

It's been a good week, had my Thorny Subject image from my first posting here put onto canvas and it looks great, even if I do say so myself. So my thanks to Robert at RLG Visual Communications http://www.rlg.co.uk/ a shameless plug I know, the guy does great work and can create a great piece of art for your home or office etc from your own images, check his website out and get in touch!

That brings me to another point, if you're interested in one of my images get in touch. They are available in many different sizes and prices will be reasonable :0) Please do not save them yourself, my images are copyrighted and my permission is needed to use them.

Today's image is a new bridge finally put up on the Hertfordshire way after the old one collapsed a long while ago, not quite the shot I wanted of this but it's close!

Until next time

Fun In The Sun!


Not feeling too well today, Man flu which, as all us fellas know, is a lot worse than any type of flu that our female counterparts may contract! LoL :0)

Another shot from Verulamium, just walking back to the car and there was a couple of young lads with Dad and their boats. Dad was of course in charge showing the boys how it's done (it's our job, a tiresome one I admit but we try!) They were lucky as most of the lake was still frozen over! It reminded me that this is one toy, cough, model that I haven't tried Hmmmmmmmmm

Dear Santa.................I've been a very good boy all year......................................

In For The Kill?


Well the sunshine came back for the weekend, mixed with some fog and ice!

Managed to get out with the camera this weekend and took a walk around Verulamium in the pleasant sunshine. Took a few shots, a couple of which I like. This being one, I was just amazed at how many gulls were around the lake and the moment they think one of them has something tasty a battle ensues, it was really quite crazy!

Shocking


Blimey that's the sunshine gone then! Just when I was enthusing about the warmer weather it's gone again, why am I surprised this is England after all! Plus I was being over optimistic for Feb eh?


Another busy day and another late night, work would be great without customers :0)


This image was taken a couple of weeks ago, I love the nest that's been made in the bottom, don't know who was living there, but they've moved out and I don't blame them!

The Intrepid Tezzer


Wow what great weather we've been having for Feb eh? I love the sunshine and the older I get the more I love it.

Terry (Tezzer as he's affectionately known, when he's good) my walking buddy whilst out taking photos. Actually he's more of a hindrance than a help but never mind. It struck me that I'm always talking about him so here he is, looking deep in thought (about his next meal no doubt). He's a real character and never listens to a word I say unless it's in his favour but I love him to bits and I wouldn't be without him :0) Never be without a dog I say!

I love this shot just because it's him, very minor tweaks to the curves is all I've done here.

Oh and don't forget to pop over to id7 for some more great images, link at the bottom of the page.

The Nights are Getting Shorter


Won't be long till summer comes as the song says (well it says warmer really but hey ho). Let's hope it's A Long Hot Summer as my favourite TSC song says.


Had enough of these dark winter days and it's nice to leave work in the (almost) daylight!


Well huge congratulations to Matt & Sarah, baby Jack was born at 10.45am yesterday (the 6th) and the little fella is all good :) I'm a great uncle again!


The image is another from the same series as the last post and reminds me that warmer weather is on it's way-sometime!
