My husband obviously found the early budding elderflowers as interesting as I did!

Great Crested Grebe
This isn't a particularly good or clear photo of this male great crested grebe, but they are really hard to photograph, and I have tried for ages to get a half decent photo of one! He is one half of a few breeding pairs at Stover lake. Not only are they fairly shy (they tend to stay in the middle of the lake, rarely venturing towards the shores), but every time I lined my camera up up for a photo, they dived down under the water coming up in another place several minutes later! I can't wait to see them in a month or so with their young, which they carry on their backs!

Swansea 2
Another photo taken on the 20th of March on the beach at Swansea, Wales, looking over towards The Mumbles (I think!). I can't wait to return to Wales, which we should be doing more of as my daughter got into university there (Yay! - Well done!! over 300 applicants for 20 places!!) and will be moving up there in September.

Herring Gull
This fine chap (or chapess) is a herring gull, they are the most common gull in these parts. Many people hate them because they think they are a nuisance, they do tend to get into rubbish bags and make a mess, but that is only because we humans leave that rubbish lying around. But I think they are beautiful, cheeky and graceful and am glad to have them around.

Castle Path
Yet another shot of Lydford Castle. This one is of the path leading up to the castle. I love visiting castles, I love the history behind them and the atmosphere they create. There was no-one else visiting this castle when we were there which gave us a chance really feel the atmosphere and enjoy being there without feeling rushed. I would like to visit more castles!

Henry Moore Figure
This statue of a reclining figure is a Henry Moore sculpture in the grounds of Dartington Hall. The hall can be seen in the background. I thought the sculpture was an important feature of the photo so I felt that it was appropriate to keep its colour whilst the rest of the picture is black and white. 'The sculpture is a memorial to friends who loved the quiet mellowness of the Devonshire landscape'. Apparently.

Bubbles
This photo is taken at Preston Downs, which I can see from the back of my house, there are fantastic views form there and it is a popular place for walking dogs and a good place for watching fireworks from. This is my youngest son blowing bubbles, in the background is Paignton, Tor Bay and Brixham in the far distance.

Lighthouse
We walked along Brixham breakwater today. Yet another place that I have never been to before (the breakwater, not Brixham). It was very windy but luckily the rain held off while we walked to the end of the breakwater and back (a mile in all). This photo is of the small lighthouse on the end of the breakwater.
