Daily Photo - 26/6/2012

Not a new photo. Not only is this one of my favourite photos, it is also my most sold photo of the greetings cards I make. [Top left of second photo in this post] Through my feedback, this picture is a definite favourite.

Line of boats at St Ives, captures the heritage nicely.

Mount Edgcumbe 17/6/2012

Mount Edgcumbe present so many photo opportunities. Here is just a small selection of the 70 photos that I took! More may follow soon. The first photo is my favourite, combining modern Plymouth with older Plymouth, and its maratime history. Looking out on to The Hoe.

'French Connection UK' - Brittany Ferries departing Plymouth, crossing Plymouth Sound in front of Smeaton's Tower and the wheel on Plymouth Hoe.

This is the folly in Mount Edgecumbe Country Park.

Old door by the Orangery. All the rest of the photos in this post were taken in a small garden next to the Orangery.

Instow Beach, N Devon - 6/5/12

This is the second post from North Devon back on 6 May. The first post was >Fremington Quay, N Devon - 6/5/12<. These were all taken on my Sony HX100v. And, considering recent feedback, I have made the watermarks smaller and less opaque! Enjoy!

Similar photos can be found on my post: >St Ives. Sept 2010.<

Fremington Quay, N Devon - 6/5/12

I had a lovely walk in North Devon last weekend (6 May) First I visited Instow Beach and took a few shots - I will post those photos later on (And no, I haven't forgot about the last in the Siblyback Lake photos set! That'll be along here too soon!) The second half of the day was spent at Little Bridge House Hospice catching up with people we haven't seen for a while. Then we went to Fremington Quay and walked along the old railway line; a very straight and flat path but so much to see! I took about 70 photos alone that stretch of railway alone!

Unknown Wildflower (If you know, please let me know!) I think it was a tree blossom.)

On the way back, we found a quite content baby rabbit. The mother was in the bush behind. It didn't seem put off by us; just stayed there until we left!

The very distinctive Lords and Ladies plant. I feel a 16:9 ratio was perfect for this particular photo.

 Again, the 16:9 ratio is perfect for this photo promoting the tree line and reflection.

Branscombe

16th February 2012. We visited Branscombe Beach in South Devon. Apparently the best place in Devon to find fossils as just up the coast to the east is Lyme Regis and Charmouth. This post reveals another of my hobbies - Fossils! I love natural history and learning about the world I live in.

Daily Photo - Sat 17 Mar

I seem to keep discovering school work that I haven't done! Just when I think I've finished, I find more that I had forgotten about. I need time for writing posts for the blog and I don't have a lot of time at the moment so I can only post a daily photo for today. Hopefully, after exams finish at the end of June, I can go out more and find some great photo settings. Can't wait until summer!

Daily Photo - Tue 13 Mar

Had a lovely day out at Branscombe a couple of months ago. Apparently the best place in Devon for fossils! Didn't find much apart from a few shells in the crumbly rock. I would recommend Lyme Regis and Charmouth further up the coast!

...Or if you're speaking English: Happy St Piran's Day! In celebration of Kernow (Cornwall), here are some of the best photos I've taken around our beautiful Celtic nation!

Tin Mine, Calstock, Cornwall.

Cosy Evening Window, Cotehele.

Rame Head Window Sunset, Rame.

Disappearing Fence, Dozmary Pool.

Sun Through Leaves, Golitha Falls.

I love Churchtown Farm, the nature reserve across the road from school and bordering the church. It presents so many opportunities for photos. Visiting the graveyard on an Autumn October evening, I saw a brilliant sunset and a line of cloud passing overhead. The sight was incredible.

As I travel and have more free time next year, I hope to travel more around my home county and try new photo techniques. Better ones should be available this time next year.

I love how the side of the chapel casts a silhouette frame for this sunset.
