Introducing Dilly

I always enjoy photographing animals I meet on my travels and I recently had the pleasure of getting to know this little cutie. She’s called Dilly and she came along to the recorder I was teaching at in Wales with her owners.

On the final evening she’d lost some of her perpetual bounce (lots of walks in the Welsh countryside) and had settled beside the sofa while her owners, Sally and Stephen, enjoyed a quiet drink and conversation. This was too good an opportunity to miss so I grabbed my camera and laid down on the floor nearby to take a few photos of Dilly.

Welsh meanderings

After my music course in Wales last month finished I took a very enjoyable meander down the hill to the Cynghordy Viaduct and beyond - some much needed fresh air and exercise after several days of intense music making.

One of our course students was on this train as it chugged across the Cynghordy Viaduct!

I had no preconceived ideas as to what I might photograph along the way and came back with a pretty varied selection.

Just beyond the viaduct is a goat farm and some of the local residents came out to greet me!

A closer view of the viaduct

The view across the valley never fails to surprise and delight me - this is a photo I snatched from my bedroom window on the first morning I was there - a wonderfully misty autumn morning and even a train on the viaduct.

And finally, a couple of my canine friends from my final morning in Wales. On the left we have Barney, who belongs to one of our students, and Jasper, the resident cockerpoo, on the right.
