Cruft's 2015

"Doesn't she know I have four feet!"

Churncote Farm, Shrewsbury, Shropshire

Today, I called into my favourite farm shop Churncote Farm and asked Mr. Clark if any new furry friends had arrived. I was permitted entry to the lambing shed to find newly born triplets that were having a little help with a colostrum drink under the supervision of the ewe.  There were also four other ewes with lambs. With much excitement I grabbed my camera from the car......

Anglesey Abbey

I returned to Anglesey Abbey with a 100 macro with an extension ring and despite the wind managed to capture Helleborine, Croci and Snowdrops.

Anglesey Abbey

On the way home, I decided to call into Anglesey Abbey where I found an abundance of snowdrops. There was only one problem, I only had the 85mm prime lens, so I will have to return!

Icy Fjord

At last I have a replacement camera! There is lots of ice here to chill the Champagne!

 

Flaxstad, Nordland, Norway

Vigeland Sculptures Frogmer Park, Oslo

Vigeland Installation so named because it is a permanent exhibition of work.  Vigelandsparken is one of Norway's most visited attractions with more than 1 million visitors every year.   The unique sculpture park is the life work of the sculptor Gustav Vigeland (1869-1943) with more than 200 sculptures in bronze, granite and cast iron. This Norwegian sculptor was the designer of the Nobel Peace Prize medal.  Some of the figures in this park gave me the impression of tortured, disturbed souls.
Ann and I were in the park at sunrise as where many others, running, walking cycling, dog walkers and tourists!
