Waterfall, Maspie Den (07 Mar 2011)
It was very dark when I took this, partly because of the time and partly because this was tucked away in a small gorge with lots of trees above it. As a result there was no need…
Dwarf Irises (05 Mar 2011)
A few days later I went to Cambo, which has the National Snowdrop Collection. However what really caught my eye was this dwarf iris, which I believe is a cross between two species. I love…

Willow (05 Dec 2010)
After a week and a lot of snow clearing I was finally able to get the car out and visit Barbara. Cara had a new litter, and her kittens, of course, were utterly adorable. Willow…
Starlings (01 Dec 2010)
