Feels like a Sunday.

I'm glad it's not Sunday though, that means I've got Sunday to look forward too. Heres a few photo's from the back yard.

It's Nasty Out

It's currently 96f but feels like 106f with the humidity. Consequently I've been staying in mostly. I did venture out to photograph a Clearwing Hummingbird Moth a couple of times. The birds I just stayed inside and stuck the lens out of the window.

Bradgate Park

As kids we always used to visit Bradgate Park during the summer holidays. For a kid it was a great time, seeing the deer, walking up the hill to Old John, playing along the stream, seeing all the ancient Oaks. It was nice to visit again after lot's of years.
