A crisp, bright, sunny February day meant a walk along Studland Beach, Dorset. This was the view, looking across to Bournemouth.

Early morning and the beach is beginning to get busy, alongside Bournemouth Pier in Dorset. The U.K. has some beautiful beaches. Bournemouth has seven miles of gorgeous soft sand. This photo makes me realise how much I love Summertime.

We were walking around Bournemouth beach trying to find some good photo spots. We’d watched the sun go down on the beach and proceeded to leave the beach area, walking past the wheel. I saw the opportunity to take the shot and that’s what I did.

These beach huts at Hengistbury Head, Dorset, UK are the most expensive in the country. A hut that sleeps 2/3 people will set you back currently, April 2018, £300,000 or Euro 343,000, US$424,000 or CAN$548,000. You can’t use them as a house as you are only allowed to stay in them 11 out of the 12 months of a year, plus, you have to use communal showers and toilets.

The RAF Red Arrows complete an annual display at the 3-day Bournemouth Airshow. Often, travelling at over 400mph and at a distance of 6ft from each other, the team is recognised as one of, if not, the best air display team in the world.

After a 5am start and 70 miles of driving we arrived at Durdle Door. The wind was howling as we walked down to the beach in the dark alongside a few other photographers. We’d checked the weather the night before and new there would be a clear sunrise so we sat and waited…

The fascinating collection of rooftops and houses in the picturesque town of Portland Dorset. The mixture of colours and textures standing out. One of my favourite places to photograph this old fashioned looking scene.

Portland Bill is the iconic lighthouse on the headland near Weymouth. The lighthouse had been newly painted and the blue, semi-cloudy sky made a great contrast in colours.

After wandering around in circles around a familiar piece of woodland, shuffling the forest floor and looking up for widow makers, we finally settle on a spot that looks homey. The usual dance begins, we drop our bags, stretch, and walk in opposite directions and gather the materials for a fire. One processes, the other builds, soon enough the woods are filled with the smoky scent of Oak, sizzling steak and laughter. Hearth and Home are made.

A lovely tranquil, sunny day on the Dorset coast, I spotted these two paddle boarders on a calm sea, with nothing around them. It looked so peaceful.

I spent a good 2 minutes staring at this scene, thinking it looked oh-so-familiar, when it dawned on me that it's the setting for the film Hot Fuzz. Yarp!

I went to visit my daughter who lives on the outskirts of Bristol, specifically for the annual Bristol Balloon Fiesta and the Nightglow, when the hot air burners and turned on and off to music. A great spectacle.

Went out in the evening during the heavy snowfall which rarely happens in my area, couldn’t feel my hands or fingers but it was worth it.

This shot was taken at Uffington Castle on a lovely spring evening. I saw my Sister and Dad looking out over Oxfordshire & Wiltshire and thought it would be a good chance to get a shot of them both. I love the silhouette effect I got from it.

I love the RAF Red Arrows Display Team, who perform throughout the length and breadth of the UK during the Summer. There are nine Hawk Jets in the team, with each year, two new recruits joining the prestigious team. The practice throughout the Winter at RAF Acroteria in Cyprus. They perform amazing acrobatics, at speed of 600 miles per hour and within 6 feet of each other. This is The Corkscrew, where two of them spiral around the other seven. If you ever get an opportunity to see them, make sure you do!!

On a walk through the Valley of the Rocks in North Devon on a typical British summer’s day. The opportunity for this shot was too good to miss.

Nothing extraordinary about this - just with the extended family, and I loved the way the abandoned floats had clustered down one end of the pool. Almost as if they knew the people had given up on the pool for the day and they only had each other for company.

On a perfect spring morning Beverley Brook, a small but beautiful river that meanders through London’s Richmond Park, takes on a fairy tail quality in the dawn mist.

I was out taking some pictures in a cemetery and this cat came out of nowhere and scared the living day lights out of me. Lucky it was the nicest cat ever and even gave me a little tour of the place!
