Catching The Rain

Saving the best til last

After the phototrek had finished, I was just about to head off but noticed as the light was fading the clouds had lifted. I’m sure there’s Chinese proverb along the lines of the old saying ‘good things come to those who wait’….

Phototrek in the New Forest

Way back last summer the kids bought me a voucher for my 40th birthday to go on a phototrek in the New Forest. After a failed first attempt thanks to storms back in November, I finally made it down there.

The treks are organised by local photographers Ian Badley and Barry Whitcher, under the banner of www.photonewforest.com/.

Turned out to be a great day, and although we didn’t get much sunshine the weather stayed kind to us. Would recommend these New Forest phototreks to anyone, beginner or expert.

A winter’s walk along the canal

I had to go to Screwfix to get some DIY bits, and the most direct route is along the tow-path of the Grand Union Canal. Needless to say I took the camera, and it took me a little longer than expected.

Palm House at Kew in the evening light

I was lucky enough to be walking past the Palm House just as the sun was setting. One of those moments if I hadn’t had the camera I would have cried!
