Its been a while since I’ve gone for a walk, just me and my camera.

This morning I went for a wander round Callow End, across the Old Hills and round St Cloud.

Autumn Sunshine

It was a beautiful fresh morning on Malvern Common. I was surprised to see the harebells still flowering and it seems to have been a bumper year for acorns.

Quiet Times

Splat has two gears, stop and full pelt. We are learning to make the most of the quiet times. It’s like the calm before the storm. During his quiet times he looks so angelic it’s easy to forget how naughty he can be. Fifteen weeks and he’s learned how to use those big brown eyes to maximum effect.

Basil and Bugs

While the sun was out this afternoon I had a play with my Lensbaby Velvet 28 and Velvet85 in the garden. The caterpillars have destroyed the leaves on the radish and I wanted to get some shots of the basil flowers.

The basil flowers were covered in bees and I’ve included the best shot of the day.

After the Rain

After some heavy overnight rain, it was a grey drizzly morning on Malvern Common, but the harebells and grasses looked beautiful covered in raindrops.

Weekend Wanders

We explored some different paths along our usual route round the Old Hills this morning. The countryside is beautiful and we so often fail to appreciate what’s on our doorstep.

In the Lawn

My favourite lens is my Lensbaby Velvet 56. I love the glow it creates, especially when wide open and as its a macro lens it lets me get really close to my subjects. I’ve been playing with the Lensbaby Velvet 85 over the last few weeks. The longer focal length means i don’t have to get so close to get images I love. I spent some time today crouching on the lawn trying to capture the little flowers hidden between the blades of grass.
