Sturminster Mill
I treated myself to some filters for my camera after Christmas, namely a 10 stop ND filter and a polarising filter with holder. I couldn’t justify Lee filters so I had heard some good reviews of the SRB Elite filter system so I thought I would give them a try. Both
Walk round Minterne Gardens
On the 7th of May my friend Judy and myself took a ride to Minterne gardens in Minterne Magna village. It was a nice sunny day altough the day before we had torrential rain and winds. We found some of the Rhododendrons had their blooms damaged but on the whole
Walk to Cutt Mill
I decided to go out for a walk on Sunday 6th October. The weather was lovely, lots of interesting clouds and very warm for the month. This made the decision on where to go and what to do. Because it was so bright I decided to just take my Infrared
Dorset County Show
It seems to be the season for shows, trying to get them in before the autumn and winter sets in. Luckily the Great Dorset Steam Fair and the Dorset County show didn’t clash this year, usually they take place on the same weekend. So it gave us a chance to

The annual Dorset Arts & Crafts Exhibition has just finished for another year. It was held at Bovington Middle school for it’s 99th year, next year it moves to the Purbeck school. I put some of my images in the Photographic section once again; last year was my first time.

The weather has turned very hot so we take the dogs out fairly late. Last evening we went out at 8.00pm and although still warm it was quite pleasant. We walked down Greenway lane and over to the river as usual it’s lovely just to stand and watch for a
A few days away in Somerset – Part 2 Thorney Lakes
I’m doing this Somerset Blog in two parts (It’s going to be three parts now, with the last being the Scything festival!) as I struggle to find the time to complete them! So at least I have managed to get some of it down before I forget and also I
A few days away in Somerset – Part 1 Out & About
At last the weather changed for the better for a little while. The garden is under control for now so we thought we’d get away for a few days. We decided to go to a place we have been before, Thorney Lakes near Muchenley in Somerset. Usually it is fairly
Getting out and about
The garden is under control, although as always still plenty to do but it’s time to get out and about with my camera. We were hoping to get away in our caravan but as soon as we bought it and prepared it the weather has been awful. We would rather
Photography break
Last week of April It’s that time of the year again when the garden needs sorting; it’s one of my other hobbies besides photography. The weather has been so cold and the spring is really late this year so things have been left until the weather got better. It is
