Frank

I met Frank last Summer by the river. He was hanging out on the wall and had no qualms about demanding attention (and birdseed) from me. I hope we meet again this Summer.

Ducks

Ripples

Look at this Tufted Duck- what a chap. I liked his yellow eye against his monochrome feathers and then his slicked back hairstyle! This was taken the day after Storm Dennis hit the UK recently. You can see blue sky reflected in the pond of St. James' Park. I would have got a clearer image with a different lens, but this was all I had.

A Fine Chap

I love ducks, but do find them challenging to photograph. The ducks where I visited my friend in Essex recently are very tame. I'm really pleased with the detail here!

Taking pictures of ducks is quite difficult. I took lots of photos, but getting the detail along with the water rippling is harder than it looks, at least that's what I've found. I liked these two chaps the best when scrutinising my range of shots. I played around with colour to bring out some vibrancy on such a bleak day.

Bournemouth in pictures

Bournemouth is a coastal town in Dorset, in the South of England. It's a lovely place to visit all year round- hence my visit in November on a rare, rainless day. I could tell you more, but I think I'll let the photos do the talking...
