25-JUN-07

Today the country was hit by floods. It took me two and a half hours to get from Lydney to Minsterworth which isn't far from Gloucester. Ended up working from home today. This was the local skateboard lake!

24-JUN-07

Koi Carp at a garden center on the way to Ledbury.

23-JUN-07

My mates Sam and Claire came down to visit, so I took them to K's stables. Claire was nervous of the horses but this was a great moment when she fed one.

22-JUN-07

Fox Gloves at Cannop Ponds.

21-JUN-07

Had some work done to the camper and this is my mechanics office. It's a fascinating place.

20-JUN-07

Went to Ikea with K today and this was the new fruit bowl she bought... Great for photographing too!

19-JUN-07

Things seem to be looking up. Went out with K and KC to Mallards Pike. This is KC's first proper "doggy paddle" There was lots of splashing, but he did make it to the other side!

18-JUN-07

Still not feeling great this week and I'm finding it hard to focus on POTD so here is part of my cd collection.

17-JUN-07

I actually got to play with the D80 today and I've been trying to capture birds in flight for ages. This was looking down from my window on to the bird feeder.

16-JUN-07

My attempt to make things right didn't work! I was devastated and really didn't feel like taking POTD, so whilst I was on the phone to a friend I took this.

15-JUN-07

We all make mistakes and this was my attempt to put things right. Sorry K :-(

14-JUN-07

I went to a friends house and nearly forgot to take POTD, so suddenly their lava lamp became the focal point.

13-JUN-07

Just playing with the macro setting on my camera. What I love about this is that you can actually see the hairs in the grass... I didn't even know grass had hair! Did you?

12-JUN-07

Yes this is the right way up! I was stretching whilst out on my run and this is what I saw.... my nice new trainers :-) hee hee

11-JUN-07

It's been great motorbiking weather, not so good for the flies though!

10-JUN-07

Finally got round to taking Heidi out on the motorbike. That's Tintern abbey behind us but we are more amusing to look at.

09-JUN-07

These used tires made a great pattern... actually a bit like tyre tread!

08-JUN-07

When firefighters get called on a shout they have to drop everything. And this is what it looks like.

07-JUN-07

KC needs a toy box!

06-JUN-07

I should have removed this leaf before I set off but I thought by flicking the wipers it would dislodge it... No such luck! So took a photo of it then it blew off! Ha.

05-JUN-07

On my cycle from work to Lydney I went past Staverton airfield and thought this made a nice POTD.

04-JUN-07

Another low angle shot but this time of flowers.

03-JUN-07

Noddy makes his way home in Lydney.

02-JUN-07

Wanted to take a photo of Colby but from a really low angle. I think it's quite a comedy shot.

01-JUN-07

I was on a night out with friends and spotted these "lady bugs". I just had to get a pic of them, risking life and limb running across two main roads in Bristol! They were good sports and I got my POTD.

31-JUN-07

Another late night shot and experimenting with long exposure settings.
