HMS Ocean

HMS Ocean, the largest ship in the Royal Navy visits London.

Lots of people queued to be taken to the ship for a closer look. 

I preferred to do it from dry land with a long lens!

Spring!

Spring is here: as I post this it is cloudy, 9 degrees C

On guard, Kensington Gardens.

the Household Cavalry in Hyde Park.

Red Kites

These Kites flying in the sky at Aston Rowant, South Oxfordshire.

Spring is certainly in the air, as this pair interact with each other.

La Luna

I have spent a lot of money on a telephoto lens for my bird photography!

As a test I took this picture of the full moon. Lunacy?

Kew Gardens spikes

Soft Spike

and Prickles!

And then it snowed!

Thursday 9th of February

I looked out of my window before I went to bed, and everywhere was white!

I am never far from the City.





This picture was taken from a viewpoint within a mile of my home.
My camera with a 500mm lens was on a tripod at the top of the old
disused Uxbridge ski slope. In the foreground can be seen RAF Northolt
and the city of London with the buildings of Canary Wharf at a distance
of 19 miles. The Gerkin, Tower 42, BT Tower and the new Heron Tower 
can be seen. Look for Wren's St. Pauls visible just to the right of centre.

On your Bike!

This is a great way to get around this fascinating city of ours.

These are affectionately know as Boris Bikes.
