    Our Garden & Fairburn Ings

    A few recent photos. Click on an image to see it in its gallery. I keep taking my camera out into the garden when I spot things. I think this time it was Orange Tip butterflies that caught my attention. I reckon that their wings act like solar panels. With the sun on them they […]

    Mid May on Baildon Moor and in our garden

    I have been neglecting my photography outings but with the nice weather I decided to go for a wonder on Baildon Moor on Saturday. Being retired I sometimes think I should leave Baildon Moor at the weekend to those that work and limit my visits to during the week. I’ll save it until near to […]

    A Quick Trip to Yeadon

    This morning I had a few minutes in Yeadon and managed to get halfway round Yeadon Tarn before I had to leave. Click on an image to see it better quality in its gallery. As expected there were lots of Canada Geese, Swans, Mallard and Black Headed Gulls. There were also quite a few Tufted […]
