I've been visiting our local lake every week for 7 weeks, hoping that the eggs in a swan's nest have hatched. Yesterday I was delighted to d

My first attempt at using the Macro setting on my new Sigma 70-300mm lens. Not too bad for a novice is it?

I'm not usually into black and white photos but thought I would do some experimenting. I think this swan looks better in monochrome than it does

I was exploring an area of the New Forest and came across this beautiful cow.

A Nice Pair of Tits

Didn't realise how hard it is to take photos of bees - the little blighters won't sit still for more than 10 seconds!

This horse definitely liked having it's photo taken!

I waited 7 weeks for some swan eggs to hatch and eventually my patience paid off. Cygnets are very photogenic!

This gorgeous little fella insisted on posing for photos for well over 10 minutes. At times he got too close to me and I had trouble focussing!

The power of the water flowing through the rocks is incredible. Fabulous place to visit.

Not sure if this is the same juvenile Robin of my previous photos. He didn't want me to get too close but he did sing a lovely song to me.

I took this photo at the Peyto Lake viewing platform at 8pm when there was nobody else around. Definitely the best time of day to be there.
