Cornish Seal Sanctuary
I can’t really explain why most of the posts I’m currently putting out have a wildlife theme. It just seems to be one of those things. A lot of the images I’ve been working through in my archive lately...

Lake Annecy
We left Lake Lucerne, headed over the alps and after a twisty-turny mountain drive into France we made our way to another lake: Lake Annecy. The difference was stark: earlier in the day I’d thrown a...

Massif de l’Esterel
All told it look us six days, from Saturday to Thursday, to make our twisted indirect journey from our flat in Twickenham to the south of France, covering 1,300 miles and stopping by Reims, Verdun,...

Kitties
My little break from Creative Splurges has been a bit longer than I originally planned. I’ve used the opportunity to go through my archive and pull together a couple of long-overdue collection posts –...

Bournemouth Aquarium
No sooner do I complete the series of posts resulting from one holiday, I start on publishing photos from another. I want to make clear this is less a result of the frequency of my holidays and more a...

Wild Flowers
On the first full day of our recent holiday to Dorset, Holly and I took a few lovely walks along the coast (not as many as I would have liked; we accidentally walked over 12 miles on the first one and...

Early Morning, Richmond Park
I admit it: I wasn’t particularly photographically active over the winter break. Sure, I made sure to put out my annual review, and curate a list of my favourite photos of 2015 as is traditional, but I...

Random Dorset
This penultimate post of images from my summer trip to Dorset is a bit of a grab bag of the images I took that didn’t really fit into the any of the other posts I’ve put out so far. It was a relatively...

Keyhaven Marshes
I’m back. I normally try to keep all of my posts generally as self-contained entities, referring only to other posts and not to too many of the particulars of my life. But this site has been on a bit...

The Macro World of the New Forest
Last May, in the optimistic late spring of 2016 when we’d only had a bunch of celebrities die and had no idea just how terrible the year would ultimately turn out to be, Holly and I had a week off work...

Spring Along the Thames #2
I like walking. I feel I should start with that so that you can consider the post that follows in that context, because we can all get carried away doing the things we love sometimes. I’ve had the last...

London Wetlands Centre
I’ve had a fair amount of success lately in shooting and editing pictures at various locations. Actually writing them, however, is still proving a bit of a challenge. We’re at that time of year when,...

Brompton Cemetery
The photo walks I have been on in the past with my friend Catherine have produced some of my best work. From our first trip to Borough Market, through our series of London walks in 2015, and our...

Garden Wildlife
Let’s get this out of the way from the start: this post will contain images of tits and peckers. Whether that helps or hinders the popularity of this post remains to be seen. (Although an early...

Weymouth Aquarium
Shooting in aquariums is a challenge. If you’ve been reading this site for a while and have a good memory (or just found this site whilst searching for aquariums and have recently looked at some of my...

Brighton Aquarium
Because either I’m a glutton for punishment or I love a challenge, less than a year after facing all the difficulties in photographing at Weymouth Aquarium, we visited Brighton Aquarium for more of...

Drusillas Park
Nestled in the Sussex countryside not that far from Eastbourne is Drusillas Park. It’s one of those places where I can take photographs of animals and my kid can have fun on some rides (and also look...

Big Cat Sanctuary
A little while ago, and for reasons I don’t particularly remember, my wife was given an experience day voucher by her work. She ultimately chose to visit the Big Cat Sanctuary in Kent to feed some big...

British Wildlife Centre
For Christmas a year ago, my wife got me a photography experience day at the British Wildlife Centre. The centre is only open at weekends and school holidays, so when I went on my visit last June, me...

Return to Brighton Aquarium
Back in February we took another trip to the Brighton Aquarium. Our last trip there was back in April 2022, although we did also visit Weymouth Aquarium a couple of years ago, so there are a few...
