Flamingos are fascinating birds and I love to watch them. This is a shot I captured at Chester Zoo towards the end of the day when the light was golden. These are Chilean Flamingos, but don’t let the name fool you are as they are also found in Argentina and Bolivia. Their main habitats in the […]

A Christmas Family Portrait
Christmas is a time for family. Whether you are into the religious aspects of the festive season or not you can’t ignore the fact that Christmas is a time of peace and love too. I love spending time with my family at this time of year and putting up the Christmas tree is an almost ritual-like […]
Memories of Christmas Past
It’s only natural at this time of year to think about past Christmases. Memories at these special times seem to stick in my memory far better than a regular time of year. Last week when I was setting up our Christmas family portrait I thought back to a similar photo we took. The one at […]
Tiger in the Grass – My Sunday Photo

A Lion’s Work Hours Are Only When He’s Hungry
“A lion’s work hours are only when he’s hungry; once he’s satisfied, the predator and prey live peacefully together. “ Chuck Jones This is one of my all-time favourite big cat photos. I’d like to be able to say that I shot this from the back off of an old, beaten up Land Rover 110 […]
