… photographs celebrating life
This is a non-commercial site so no one will be trying to sell you anything!! You are invited to browse, enjoy the photographs and share a little in the trips I have been lucky enough to go on. I see the world more vividly when I am taking photographs and since I retired I have been able to indulge in taking photos most days. But, whilst I am always ecstatic when I get a technically good photo, my interest really is in catching a moment or telling a story. This site is not so much ‘sets of photos’ to be admired as an exploration of what lies behind a particular set of photos.
Wildlife photography is the kind of photography I enjoy most. I love the unpredictability. The more I learn about the animals of course the better I get at anticipating the shot but my wildlife and nature photographs will always be a work in progress! However, I can get equally absorbed photographing scenery especially coastal scenery, or clouds, or the way the light falls through leaves, or the shapes of buildings!! It is all a source of wonder.
Over my lifetime I have been fortunate to go on a number of safari trips. When I come home and start to go through the photos I can remember vividly the experiences. I started to create ‘diaries’ on line – initially for friends and family to enjoy. Unfortunately ‘life’ got in the way and the good intentions faltered!! But I am back now and have lots to share…

This was my first evening drive on this trip. Late in the season, the river was low so as we drove along the bank this large group of crocodiles caught our eye. The wrestling and splashing suggested they had a kill but it was not immediately obvious. The evening light was ideal, catching both their…
