Just one of the shots from Kumar and Carrie's wedding that i shot at Cley Mill on the bank holiday weekend. This shot seemed to suit the B&W conversion and the children's faces create a great image.

Thanks to the ash cloud from Eyjafjallajokull volcano in Icleland we had to drive back from Spain. After 1900 miles of driving through Spain and France it was a relief to get on the ferry and begin the final leg of the journey home.

A fantastic view of Casares from across the valley. It was quite a cloudy day but an interesting town, with an amazing cemetery next to the churn on the top of the hill.

Having got in from work I found Asha and Kumar having a well deserved rest on the settee. Asha was tired from her swimming lesson and Kumar from looking after her and Harry for the day.

Sunsets at my parents' house are always special but this one caught my eye on Mothers Day. I suppose i should have posted a picture of my mum but i'm sure she'll like this shot too.

I left Harry and Asha to their own devices for 10 minutes this afternoon. This is how i found Asha - covered in chocolate milk powder. Suffice to say Harry was oblivious to what his sister had got up to - he was watching tv !

8/52 An evening tipple.

I was looking to get a shot for a competition entitled "Song titles" but chose something else in the end. It's quite obvious what this would have been isn't it?

Anyway i was using the 24mm-105mm L and was quite pleased with the results, on reflection though i should have cleaned the bottle opener before shooting.
