Early Mornings

The early morning light in the autumn is full of rich colour.   Once the sun has risen and revealed the mist, the colour of one light on the narrow boat is very homely and inviting.   The Cormorants are just comical and make me smile!

Golden Retriever Puppies

A lovely commission - I shall be taking photographs of these six puppies (all male) during the first eight weeks of their life so that when they are weaned and transfer to their new home, there is a photographic record of those early days to go with them.    Erin often feeds them at the same time and once the puppies have full tummies they continue to lie, often where they fed, in a row, looking like uncooked sausage rolls!   Actually, they are gorgeous..............

Deer at Woburn Abbey Park

I was at the Sculpture Gallery in Woburn Abbey Park today and although it wasn't possible to stop and take photographs of the Deer on the way in, I did 'snatch' a few on the way out, through a car window.    The rutting season is now and although here there aren't any photographs of the stags with moss or leaf mould on their antlers, that was seen earlier.

....and then there's Frankie Dettori

The only jockey I recognised.............

Jockeys

It was exciting being that close to the action in the parade ring and seeing the expressions on the faces of jockeys in anticipation of another race.   One has to wonder what they were thinking..........

After the Race...

Some win and it brings a smile to faces, but not that many...........

Now for some Racing

Sad about the delay, but here are some images of horses being prepared to race and some racing too.
