Here is my contribution to Lisa Coleman's weekly bird challenge which, this week is Woodpeckers. This includes Flickers, Flamebacks, Goldenbacks and Sapsuckers although I have never seen any of the latter. We are fortunate to occasionally get Green Woodpeckers and Great Spotted Woodpeckers in our garden in Leicestershire (UK). Other Woodpeckers I have seen … Continue reading BIRDS OF THE WEEK – WOODPECKERS
VISITS TO UGANDA
A PHOTO A DAY HELPS …… Day 102
A final round up for a week of yellow photos - this time, it's insects with yellow markings. I am sorry that I don't know the names of many of them. There are 7,000 species of Flies (including 270 Hoverfly species and many other insects which one wouldn't immediately think of as flies) and 7,000 … Continue reading A PHOTO A DAY HELPS …… Day 102

A day of people, all wearing something yellow. I love taking photos of people - if they are happy for me to do so. It gives me a chance to really look at their beautiful faces which you can't do in passing. But I also think about them whenever I look at their pictures - … Continue reading A PHOTO A DAY HELPS …… Day 101
A PHOTO A DAY HELPS …… Day 100
One hundred days since I started posting photos each day. Thank you very much to all of you who have appreciated my pictures - that gives me a lot of pleasure. Continuing the theme of YELLOW for this week, I've chosen market scenes today - they are always so alive, busy and fascinating in all … Continue reading A PHOTO A DAY HELPS …… Day 100

Continuing the theme of ruins, today's selection are from the Gower Peninsula in Wales. These ruins at Port Eynon were originally built in the 16th Century as a saltwork (extracting salt from the sea) but from the 17th C, they were used as houses for oyster fishermen and quarrymen until they were abandoned in about … Continue reading A PHOTO A DAY HELPS …… Day 94
A PHOTO A DAY HELPS …… Day 89
The start of another week, so another theme. I am very ignorant about history and I don't enjoy going round stately homes, but I am fascinated by RUINS. They somehow fit so beautifully and naturally into the countryside in a way which lived-in buildings usually don't. Perhaps it's something to do with the environment taking … Continue reading A PHOTO A DAY HELPS …… Day 89
Cee’s Weekly Black & White Challenge
Cee's Black and White Challenge this week is a photo of a shop front with writing on it. This is a photo I took in the remote little town of Kaberamaido in Teso, Uganda. If only Celtel really would make life better for this young mother and her baby.
A PHOTO A DAY HELPS …… Day 53
The last day for Uganda - and I want to show you an animal (or two?). But which to choose out of all the wonderful animals you can see in Uganda? Whilst the larger mammals were widely spread throughout Africa in the past, they are now only to be found in the National Parks. I … Continue reading A PHOTO A DAY HELPS …… Day 53

Markets are a 'must visit' for me wherever I am as they are always so colourful, busy and vibrant in any country, whether it's here in Loughborough - or in France, Uganda, India, ......... And there's always something new and unusual to be seen or sampled. It's not easy making a living from selling your … Continue reading A PHOTO A DAY HELPS …… Day 52
