MOG

In memory of Judith Kerr, author of one my favourite childhood books ‘Mog’ and sadly my mum and dad’s fourth cat Bubbles who went to cat heaven last night. Ironically Mogs final story sees him also pass away.

Mixing up the macro combinations as a little experiment. This is the 50mm prime with another 60mm of extension tubes. Since moving to full frame from apsc, every focal length and optimal setting I’d adjusted to with macro went out the window. It’s a case of start again and see what works and what doesn’t.

I had no idea what these were called until I looked it up today but I’ve noticed them all over the island. Every time I drive past some I think about stopping and never do. These were in the middle of L’Ancresse common early this morning.

HOME

Another day of full on travel racking up the air miles and just generally hating airport departure lounges. Standard wing shot to fill the gap.

HULK SMASH

Last full day in Tenerife with thee little monkey’s. They got on like peas in a pod but let them loose for 5 minutes and all hell breaks loose!

OCEAN VIEW

Just aimlessly wandering around with not a care in the world, but trying to keep cool at the same time.

LORO PARK

16.05.19

Voted the worlds best Wildlife Park on Trip Advisor, this is one of the most amazing places if you enjoy the natural world and conservation. Paid a little extra for some behind the scene tours which took us to some fascinating places.

JUNGLE PARK

15.05.19

A last minute change of plan led us to another fantastic zoo called Jungle Park. The park was well maintained and more importantly, the animals seemed happy. Nice drive up the mountain to get there too!

WHALE SAFARI

Fantastic whale and dolphin cruise off the coast of Las Americas. Saw loads of pilot whales and dolphins followed by a much needed swim off the boat.

SIAM PARK

Didn’t take many photos in Siam Park but I wanted Alana to have at least one reminder she was there. Awesome place, if you ever get the change it’s a must visit waterpark.

DESTINATION

11.05.19

Spent most of our day either on a plane or waiting in airports. Keeping the kids entertained was fairly simple. Didn’t arrive at our hotel till nearly 2am!
