Quietly progressing still.

Less active than I used to be and less interactive as normal life is busier and my brain can't cope with too much stimulation!

....COLOUR, flowers / plants, macro, variety, colour, blur, bokeh, garden birds, did I mention colour?....

I love being in nature, using it as a form of escape. And adore the details and colours around us, trying to catch those with my camera when I can.

I shoot in RAW, convert in DPP4, process in affinity photo and creatively tweak in Topaz Studio 2 and Nik4 Collection.

I'm not here to collect followers and am not keen when i get added to others huge collections of followees with no engagement. I limit the number of members I follow as I don't have the mental energy to interact as much as I used to, but even if I don't follow you I might regularly check in with your stream instead.

I live in the South of England (though a midlander at heart), with a couple of teens (wow; how did that happen?). Working full-time, which is split between part-time paid employment and part-time non-paid employment, i.e. looking after my home and family!.
