Spring is here.

Well, at last, spring is here. photography is no fun in the winter. how do you hold a camera when your fingers are frozen? I did manage to take a few shots, we don't get much snow here in Blackpool, but this year was an exception. So out I ventured to grab a few shots and discover the  importance of getting the correct white balance set-up !

February and march were not the best months for me to be getting on with my photography. I had been looking forward to my holidays in Florida for months and months but about four hours after we arrived in Orlando we got a phone call to let us know that my partner, Jackie, her brother had died. There was very little we could do, as we couldn't get a flight back for just over a week as all the flights were fully booked, so we stayed out in Florida until our due date to come home arrived. We just made the best of it while we were there.  I did manage to get some good photos while I was there anyway.

Anthony G McDonald. One of the good guys. RIP fig fella !

Within a few weeks of getting back from Florida, I got a call to tell me a good friend of mine who had known for over 30 years (which is a long time for someone who is only 42) had also died. Two funerals within a few weeks of each other. Not the best of starts to the year.
