THANK YOU ALL FOR YOUR FAVS AND LOVELY COMMENTS. THEY ARE VERY MUCH APPRECIATED

Hier je suis retournée voir la famille de Petits blongios. Ils ont beaucoup grandi, sont dispersés ici et là. Nous avons dû attendre plus de deux heures trente sous un soleil tapant et une chaleur croissante que les deux derniers qui sont toujours au nid sortent pour récolter leurs becquées!

Our visit to the south-western part of the Cotswolds started on a sunny and warm day in Malmesbury, an ancient town on the River Avon. We picnicked at this spot, beside a small waterfall and with the partly ruined abbey in the background. It was a great start of a wonderful trip!

The Avon river runs through the heart of Christchurch city and is a vital part of the landscape. It is lovely to take a walk by the river in the city for a peaceful stroll or even to go punting on the Avon.

It was results like this that converted me from Canon full frame to Fuji X

I'm truly sorry for not having posted any new images recently, but life and work got the better of me.

Here's a recent shot from Scotland - slowly finding my way back into photography...

Just before the sun would begin to slip below the mountains, Westbound van train 21J swings around a curve and under the Pennsy signal bridge at PC6.6 in Ben Avon, Pennsylvania as the train's crew works the final few miles of their run to Conway. There, the train will change crews for its nighttime run west to Toledo and eventually Chicago. This fan favorite signal bridge is one of only a handful left on the Pennsy's mainline between Conway and Harrisburg and will unfortunately fall to progress on Sunday.

There were so many great places to catch trains along the MRL. I was always enjoyed catching MRL's own trains especially in the Mullan Pass area. June 2003

More awaited pictures from my visit to Stratford-Upon-Avon. I have been much busier than expected recently and again I apologise for the lack of images being uploaded as I have lot's to share with you.

Well, it's been a while since my last visit. Lots of stuff going on at the moment that doesn't leave much time for photography but I've managed to find a few minutes of peace and quiet to process this one.

Hopefully, I'll be back online again in a few weeks.

Captured during an extremely brief and small opening in the clouds, with the sun backlighting its exhaust and illuminating the viaduct piers, Caledonian Railway McIntosh 'Class 439' 0-4-4 tank 55260 (aka 55189) runs across the lofty Avon viaduct during an 'In Search of Steam' photographic charter event on the Bo'ness & Kinneil Railway on 4th November 2023.
