I had been wanted this shot for years since the spot looks like "Thors Well" during super high tide. But I had been skunked for several times due to the tide was not right or lights were in different direction. I was quite happy when all conditions were right in this Valentines sunrise. Have a nice weekend!

A walk over Crowle on to Thorne Moors on the 25th May saw hundreds, maybe thousands of these dragonflies. Never ever seen so many!
Snow hit Arizona pretty hard a few days ago. I tried to get this shot early morning but the clouds wouldn't part. Glad I came back out for sunset. The sky was pretty clear and boring until about 10 minutes before sunset when these clouds came up from behind the mountain. Happy New Year!
Well 2023 is nearly over and it hasn’t been great for me personally. What with a trapped nerve issue in January with pain dominating the first 3 months of the year. Then the health of my ageing doggies took over my thoughts and concerns, losing Oscar in June and nearly losing Toby in July. So I’m hoping for a better things in 24, less pain and sadness would be a nice start. One thing that has kept me going this year is the kindness show to me from you, my friend on Instagram and Flickr. When I was at my lowest and pouring my feelings out in my posts the replies were fantastic. Not only were you lot keeping me entertained by taking fantastic photos and stories your kind responses were second to none. So my deepest thank you goes to you all, and I wish you a happy new and hope your camera’s capturer the great magic and beauty. If we all wish harder enough we will see the back of the Tories and we can hope to see polices and deeds that start the healing, but we have a long way to go. Todays photo was snapped at the start of this month with my little pocket Sony, I’m amazed I grabbed it.
It looks like the sky over Amsterdam is burning, but where is the fire? The four horsemen can’t be far away.
I wish we had more days like this, I just love the mood.
