• The snow stood still in the air.. thinking its little think

  The wind died  down yesterday. I don’t care how it died frankly, as long as it was gone. We all crept up out from behind our shelters, sniffing the air. The snow gently falling, in no hurry to go anywhere. Did you see Mama, she seldom comes out into the field nowadays. Preferring to stick…

• Guess who has come home!

  I got up before dawn yesterday morning, after a night fretting about Sheila and decided to bring her home. That is that, I thought. Bad weather was coming again. She was not well. I told the nice young fella that I was worried about the limping and her wound and I might come and take…

• Marmalade poses as Dennis the Menace

• Amazing shots of the sundogs , visiting Sheila and racking the wine.

  The sun with his dogs.  Frankly I find these images downright spooky. These were taken from the field and yes it was cold.  Ads shooting straight into the sun creates some odd effects but there is something deeply supernatural about these.  What does it mean to have this in your skies, as you trudge in…
