Beach Photos

As I’ve been ill and unable to get out doing anything strenuous, I’ve been forced to go out and take some photos again. Nothing too exciting, just a wander on the beach as per usual.

ABKA Photo Competition

Morgan and I were quite successful in the recent Aberystwyth and District Beekeepers Association (ABKA) Photographic Competition. It was a fairly informal affair and just for fun, although there were prizes up for grabs. There were three categories: Other Bees (Not Honey Bees) Inside the Hive Beekeepers You were allowed to enter one photo per...

Picture in Picture of the Past in the Present

I came across a cool little idea yesterday on a website called ‘Dear Photograph‘. It’s a simple idea where you take a photograph of a photograph. The photograph comes from the past but you overlay it in the same position in the present so that you end up with a photograph of the past in...

Garden Flowers

It’s another gorgeous day here, clear blue skies, a light breeze and currently 19ºC. Yesterday it reached 24.5ºC, which although it felt hot wasn’t the hottest day of the year so far as we hit 25.3ºC in June 3rd. It’s a shame we have to work on a day like this, but I have just...
