The Last Redcurrants of 2015 from UK


One single plant has produced around £100 worth of redcurrants this year. I was somewhat amazed to find a few more the other day at the tail end of September. Tasted amazing. Thoroughly recommend a redcurrant plant for 2016.

A Butterfly reading The Sunday Times


One of those opportunistic photos where a butterfly maybe a little tired landed on my newspaper and the I Phone was handy. just a cute image really. Maybe it stopped to watch the tennis?

Sometimes something as simple as a meal or a drink is worth photographing. Kiwi fruit always looks good.

Strawberries, Ducks and Opium. What next?


With a little bit of sun gardens are coming to life. Some plants are already dieing off, Poppies and Chives for example. Strawberries however are making a grand appearance but a badly behaved duck is inclined to spoil the party!

Excitement in the Chives


The garden starts to come alive with some sun and water. Poppies do decent impersonations of Triffids. Chives just look great.

Around this time each year I sit down and try and sort out my best 13 photographs of the year to make up my annual calendar. Not easy. This year is easier than some. These are the said photos. Each has a reason for being there and each has a story. Please feel free to share this post and this blog with your friends and colleagues.
