Tuesday Throwback

Name, png

Throwback to the beginning of 2022 with pictures from 2016-2021. I hope you have enjoyed the videos through the year?

In 2023 I will be creating some more videos but I may put them on YouTube because of the amount of storage they take up on here.

Have a great day, it is cold and miserable in North Yorkshire today. Not really great photography weather!

Back from a visit to Derbyshire and Leicestershire with lovely weather for the most of it! I’ve just got back so not had time to sort all the images I took out but this one I wanted to show you. A beautiful stag in Bradgate Park on 21/12/22. I didn’t see Father Christmas but I’m guessing he was in the cafe with a hot chocolate before the big day!

“I’ll overcome
Silent songs I’ll be humming on
‘Til you sing along
Come as you are, ignited
Some lights are a different kind
Never burning out Darkness and dust
Quiet shadows are dancing now
Asking for my hand
I’m hanging on fine
I’m trying to make sense of it all
Trying to understand
Do you ever wonder what it’s like
Losing what you cannot be without
I will keep running
I try I’ll overcome
Fading stars echo
Reminding us they know
We’ve come too far to let go
Don’t let go.”

Cold & Icy

Name, png

Another absolute freezing week! There has been some really sharp frost recently but no snow here in North Yorkshire. Hoping for a bit of the white stuff for Christmas day but we’ll see. Have a good week and keep yourself warm.

“Frost grows on the window glass, forming whorl patterns of lovely translucent geometry.

Breathe on the glass, and you give frost more ammunition.

Now it can build castles and cities and whole ice continents with your breath’s vapor.

In a few blinks you can almost see the winter fairies moving in . . .

But first, you hear the crackle of their wings.”

Third week of Advent

An absolute freezing week! I’ve managed again to get another nasty cold/chest infection, I’ve had it 5 days and been struggling at work so decided to stay in bed for 2 days. Feel so much better now thank goodness.

So, sorry no new icy weather pictures yet, instead another bit of drone flying from a few weeks ago.

December Flight

A lovely but very cold second week of Advent. I visited Hovingham in the Howardian Hills on the way to the National Trust Property of Nunnington Hall.


On the way I decided to stop to take the drone up for a quick flight but it was a bitterly cold day and I don’t think my drone liked it either!

December – Second week of Advent

Name, png

A lovely but very cold second week of Advent. I visited Hovingham in the Howardian Hills on the way to the National Trust Property of Nunnington Hall.

Hovingham is situated within the Howardian Hills Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty in the Ryedale District of North Yorkshire, approximately 19 miles north of the city of York and midway between the market towns of Helmsley and Malton.

I decided to stop to take a few pictures as I’d never had a walk round before. A beautiful village but a bitterly cold day.

A lovely first week of Advent. I visited the National Trust Property of the Treasurer’s House in the middle of York. An oasis of peace and calm amid a very busy Christmas Market Day.

This picturesque townhouse nestling in the centre of York has many tales to tell, including celebrity parties, workmen who wore slippers to keep the noise down, and a promise by its former owner to return to haunt the building if anything was changed after his death.

“…Promise…to return to haunt the building if anything was changed after his death”
