Well hello there, and thank you very much for bothering to check me out.....

It seems a shame to start with this, but it seems to be important these days...., these are my pictures, and whist I'm sure no one would really want to use any (hah!), I need to state the following:

All my images are © All Rights Reserved.

My pictures are solely for viewing, not to be downloaded and shared on any other site or for personal use without my permission.

Anyway, enough of that...

2016 and over 200,000 views - something I never would've imagined - thank you all.

Thanks particularly for your ongoing support and comments - I consider myself very much an amateur, and learning all the time. I do love photography, and with Flickr, and your support, it's even better... your comments are most appreciated!

I'm occasionally organised enough to take time to return the favour (I'll always check out your shots) - but please forgive me if I don't straight away; its getting quite busy here as I build up my collection and contacts :)

I'm still very over-awed at some quite stunning pictures from all you Flickr members... Something for me to aim for.

In Feb 2011 I upgraded from a very faithful Olympus c5050 to my Fuji HS10... lets wait and see if things improve (not quite ready to go full SLR yet :)

I'm also pulling together some of my favourite of your Flickr shots from round the world into my galleries - feel free to take a look - there are some very talented people out there - I hope you don't mind if I place some of your pictures in there!

Many thanks for reading...
