The Fading Light...

A few weeks ago I was doing some night-time photography for Wylfa Power station, creating some images for the security police that protect the buildings. As I turned up for work just before sunset, I spotted this image from the car park. It was the sun setting behind a rocky outcrop called the Skerries where a lighthouse is located. I shot it on a very long lens ( 400mm ) across two bays. The Skerries is located 2-3 miles off the northern tip of Anglesey. I only had minutes to get the camera set up to get the shot; then it was gone.
I’ve also included a couple of the images I took from that nights work. It’s not all sheep and daffodils here on Anglesey!

My Front Garden...

With the cold and wet keeping us indoors for much of the time the garden is forgotten about during the winter months. But take a little stroll when the sun breaks and the wind dies down, and it’s quite amazing what you can come across in your own front garden.
Hidden beneath the bark of an old tree trunk is a bright green caterpillar just waiting for the right time to become a moth, or maybe lunch for the local blackbird. And out of nowhere, strutting around as if he owned the place, is a male pheasant showing of his glorious plumage for all to see.
It’s not a large garden, but there’s plenty going on if you just take the time to stop and look.

Happy Cows...

Spring is here and the cows are jumping for joy. Yes, that's right, the cows are jumping for joy... After being kept indoors through-out the winter the cows are let loose to graze in the fields and they literally jump for joy. We've all heard of, and seen, spring lambs jumping and frolicking, well cows do as well; and with Spring in the air we can all join in.
Here's to a happy frolicking summer.
