Photography

This camera only has a 32x optical lens, although I am purchasing a bridge camera with stronger optical magnification soon. The picture below is at full magnification, which appears to lose light significantly.

Sidney grazes his blackface sheep here, their super warm fleece is spun and woven.

Visited a neighbour (pictured below), he's 74 years old! We chatted about this and that, he made me a filter coffee sweetened with condensed milk and honey. He'd like to return home to Middlesborough; it's not easy being displaced, few friends, almost alone.

Reminisce of a huge firecracker, thrown into our paddock on New Years eve.

Sheep are strange, in that I always learn something new about them, when I am observing them.

Mother ewes in this flock, located in the poly tunnel are easy to photograph, they have known me for fourteen months.

This flock is mixed breed, although there are pedigree Teeswaters, Zwartble, Herdwick sheep within this herd. The tup was a pedigree Teeswater.

The sheep pictured below is chewing cud, they are being fed hay, tonight they are eating haylage.

Time to hang up my camera, and use my mobile phone. Snowdrops are out!

My IPhone is only a 12 megapixel camera, yet better than the 14 megapixels on this ole Olympus bridge camera.

The storm "Isha" blew off a gate and tore down a rose bush that I had saved from rose rust last year.

At dusk rabbits surfaced onto the paddock from their warrens as the moon risen from the north-eastern sky.

I detest cars speeding through our hamlet, there are children and sheep / lambs, displayed are slow down signs along the roadside. I find blacked out windows are so creepy, and the worst thing about this is I believe this speeding car to be a neighbour.
