Not long until New Year and I particularly like the last line of this verse. Extract from Ring Out, Wild Bells by Lord Tennyson Ring out the old, ring in the new, Ring, happy bells, across the snow: The year is going, let him go; Ring out the false, ring in the true. #ImageandVerse #Photography

In July 2025 we went back to the #Dolomites for a hiking holiday - was quite freeing to just have one camera lens with me (24-105mm) - did the trick! Much as I love the area, my photos do all look a bit the same... #YearInReview #AwesomeFoursome

The lane I live on is cut into the hillside so there are steep banks on either side. The roots of the beech trees line parts of the lane. #ThickTrunkTuesday #Trees #Photography #SurreyHills
