I was out one evening near Loch Lomond and had found a new local colony of Common Blues, but also revisiting th ..read more

I would like to wish everyone the very best for 2023. I am sure it will be better than the majority of 2023 but I said that last time LOL. Instead of doing the usual best images I decided again to put all my best images from 2023 into an e-book. There are a few in there that have never seen the light of day as well. https://indd.adobe.com/view/88b64a33-fdd6-4ad4-87dd-0791ca0388a6   ..read more
