The perfect winter's day at Swithland Reservoir. Ice forming from the edges was not going to stop this swan from getting some food that people were throwing onto the ice. It used it's wings to make a passage through to the food.

Taken from a friend's home in Orono, Maine some years ago at Christmas time.

Autumn colours at Harrow Carr, Harrogate

Our local Squirrel waiting for his monkey nuts that we put out on winter mornings.

These sheep would line up in this way, as if posing for me, when I walked past their field on my morning walk.
On this occasion I thought the early morning sun made them look delightful.
In reality, of course, they were hoping that I was the farmer, arriving to deliver their breakfast.

The sky turned dark and it began to rain. I was cycling along a road overshadowed by trees at that time. On leaving the trees behind, the sky brightened and I saw a beautiful double rainbow traversing a grey sky.

An early morning walk in my local park presented me with this amazing sight. I was a professional photographer, but this picture was taken on my i Phone.

Driving home through light rain I saw this really bright rainbow over the local fields and felt so uplifted by its beautiful colours that I stopped the car in order to take this photograph.

Taken from home at about 19.00hrs on a dark and foggy evening in South Wales. Typifies the lockdown feeling on such a night

This single snowflake was in the corner of the window and just begged to be enlarged to show its unique form

I love the shape of the snow around the clothesline.

We went on a walk around the village and when this snow storm approached we scuttled back to our digs, where we were snowed in for two days.

Photo taken whilst walking along the seafront at Hastings East Sussex. The light and clouds were creating a lovely atmosphere. I took it as the figure (facing away from camera) looked so small and insignificant.

Couldn't resist stopping to take in the view on my walk up the hill to work at Hyde Hall.

Walking through Salisbury Cathedral's close one miserable day, I saw the cathedral was sunlit whilst the sky and surrounding area was dark and stormy. It was a remarkable sight.
