I have web site where I post my photographs. I started it off some time ago with a collection of pictures called “The Months” which are pictures taken from my daily bike rides besides and on the flood plain of the River Brue in Somerset. Although not my original intention, having loads of pictures, I bundled them up into slide shows of 15 pictures a time for each month.

This meant that my initial 12 month posting amounted to 180 separate images many of which, same place each day, would tend to be a bit repetitive although the light and tides do change things. A couple of days back, I decided to add the latest two months – Aug08 and Sept08 along with nine other slide shows on various subjects…

As we see our freedoms and rights to rule our own destiny given away by Gordon Brown and the hapless David Milliband in return for some “pay-off” by Brussels for them personally but, the enslavement of all UK citizens in the process, it is time to remind ourselves just why an “Albatross in a tartan waistcoat” and a slick smart boy with apparently little love and affiliation for the country that gave his family shelter and sustanance are disgracefully wrong in every respect.

Both these low life “chancer’s” should resign from public life and office, immediately because clearly, they are not “Fit for Purpose” in terms of elected representatives bent on representing their constituents personal needs.

These pictures were taken at an Air Show, first in flight – so that’s what it looks like ! However the other two taken in the evening and with the plane parked, however as pictures were a bit too ordinary, after some work in Photoshop and converting to black & white, they may be a bit more interesting.

I have always liked things that fly be they birds or planes and although not a true “propeller head”, I will always go and see the RAF Red Arrows perform because they are truly stunning. Read the rest of this entry »

Every year we have our crop of Seagull chicks and I must admit that I am fond of them. By the time we see them, they look as big as an adult although this is really down to their brown, rather downy feathers and can fly quite well. They generally start out as a group of two or three then gradually split up over the months but they are amusing. Just like children, they have enormous curiosity about most things and each, an individual character so that they are great fun to watch as they explore the world around them.
