Golden Brown

Texture like sun, Lays me down with my mind she runs, throughout the night, no need to fight, never a frown with golden brown. Haven’t been able to publish much lately but I still keep shooting; here’s a couple from a sunset a month ago. Click on the pic to make it big on your […]

A light dusting on top

January 14, 2015

Here, where? Here. At sea level, it’s rare to get any snow settling on the ground for too long, however just a few miles up the coast Exmoor rises a thousand foot plus over the surf and therefore, often has a light dusting of the white stuff on top. Exmoor is bleak and this is […]

Where the waters meet

November 20, 2014

Prologue: The beech trees really are the star of the show at this time of year. On Exmoor, Watersmeet is the meeting place of the East Lyn river and Hoar Oak Water. There is an old 19th Century fishing lodge that stands to bear witness of the ‘meeting’ and it’s just a short stroll from […]

Velvet Undercover – Sweet Devon

August 14, 2014

An impromptu visit to the moor on the way to a surprise birthday bash and we stumble into these two beauties, in velvet, wow, grazing in sheep pasture (ooops – bloody buggers, I’m sure they didn’t eat much, Mr Psychopath Subsidy-Farmer ). It’s typical isn’t it, you’ve starved yourself all day and are gagging for […]

Beach

July 27, 2014

Just a few pictures of the hottest week of the year so far, including the ones the BBC wanted to use “for a credit”; no bitching about the – lack of surf, the state of (surf) photography, the sticky nights(!), the overcrowding, the abysmal driving skills of the visitors, the litter, the dog poo or […]

Swallows projeck

July 16, 2014

Part 1. Horse flies bring salad days for swallows. All the biting insects about this summer may be bad news for gardeners and horses but for swallows, swifts, martins and other insect eating birds it’s ‘ happy days’. The European swallow (Monty Python) or more correctly the Barn Swallow, heralds the beginning of summer when […]

Meadows, meandering & dragon flies

July 14, 2014

The summer meadows are in full bloom, it’s seed head city; what a wonderful and slightly melancholy atmosphere as we move into the second half of summer. Here’s some unremarkable pictures that fill me with nostalgia of summers past, present and future. Taken on location at Longlands Farm, Coulsworthy, Devon (http://www.longlandsdevon.co.uk/). If you click on […]
