Camera At The Ready

Since I discovered I missed some golden photographic oportunities by not having my camera I aways carry my camera with me now - everywhere!

Recently I got these shots. All these situations presented themselves completely 'out of the blue'.
I was wiping over the rotary washing line and . . . hello . . . a 'flutter by' called in unannounced, landing right in front of me. Have I got my camera? Yes, in my pocket! Don't fly away yet! Ready, steady . . . . . zoom in optically and a bit digitally . . . . hold steady . . . . and . . . got ya!
What's this? . . . . a dragonfly! You're off limits mate! You're grounded . . . until I get this shot anyway!

And . . . . a damsel fly in distress? No she's OK . . . . I think , just playing hard to get.

Glittery waves photographed off Brean Down, near Weston Super Mare. It's not only clouds that have 'silvery linings'.

  1. Eddie, what beautiful photo's you have taken, it's hard to pick a favourite but I think Glittery waves would be my first pick. You are very talented my friend, hope you and your family are well.......:-) Bernie

  2. I wish I could learn to carry my camera with me every trip. I leave it by my handbag to remind me, and somehow I still go blind, when it's time to go out.
    These are lovely well-worth-taking shots. Good for you.
    Love Granny

  6. Those are magnificent photos. Now why do you get interesting, beautiful butterflies like that in your habitat and all we get are much less pretty Skippers!
    Great photos and it does pay to have a photo by your side. (Or in your pocket!)

  11. Thank you all for your comments - I really value these highly, particularly when someone calls me a "Cool Dude" or a "Cute Hoot"

    Dennis - Great to hear from you my friend - I enjoyed working with you a lot and hope you and your wife are OK although I did hear you took an early retirement. You are missed by patients, colleagues and the lovely nurses.
