Soft pink

The latest in my line of Studio photos. Well, I say studio, but I mean it in the loosest sense of the word: a table and a few large pieces of white and coloured paper stuck on to the wall with masking tape to provide a backdrop! Great fun though :o)

May Day in Oxford

May Day in Oxford was glorious, with the sun lighting up everything beautifully - suddenly it feels like summer! Everyone was out and about enjoying the weather and the river was busy with punters and rowers everywhere.

See more photos from the Botanic Gardens in Oxford - a favourite haunting ground of mine - peace and quiet and large helpings of green in the middle of the city.

Jersey - April 2006

A trip to Jersey, Channel Islands to visit my family. This photo is of St. Ouen's beach - my absolute favourite - so much S P A C E - 5 miles of it in fact as the beach runs the entire length of the west coast of the island.

I just love the textures and patterns created by sand. Most of my photos are taken on St. Ouen's beach in Jersey, Channel Islands - one of my favourite beaches in the world.

A trip to South West Wales ~ Carmarthenshire and Pembrokeshire ~ in March 2006. Beautiful scenery, although it was very, very cold and rather grey. We visited the National Botanical Gardens of Wales, Aberglasney, Tenby, Saundersfoot, Lllansteffan, Ferryside & Kidwelly Castle.

See my Wales set for more photos.

I got quite addicted to the Poster Edges filter in Photoshop when editing my nautical shots - I really like the way it brought out the details of textures and created a blurry comic book style background.
