I am not doing much at all photographically, except for buying new toys! My main interest is wildlife photography but my youngest has hit the stage where he isn't happy to be in a pushchair all day but cannot be trusted out of one, so I haven't manage to take a wildlife shot in months. I have been spending too much money on stuff I don't need and have finally realised that retail therapy is only a short term fix... Though I doubt that will stop me, but it might slow me down a bit.
I have worked out that there are some areas of photography that I am really useless at so need to stick to what I really love (wildlife, macro and portrait/lifestyle) and concentrate on those. I am supposed to be putting together a program for the next year for a photography group that I am involved with but keep putting it off. I do have plans to get back into wildlife by setting up an area of my garden to attract stuff in and allow for some shots. It is a big project and will take a while to sort but the plan is to clear out all the weeds from the area and then set up an area of big rocks and small pools. Then just behind this to set up a feeding station using as many natural materials as I can so as much of it as possible would give natural looking shots. I would then like to set up a blind near it so that I can just go out and shoot as and when I get the opportunity. I would love to think that I might get this done before winter sets in but suspect I won't.

Well, I'm back - had a lovely time. Stayed on Holy Island until sunset then was back over again for sunrise. I was so lucky with the tides. My little B&B was lovely, however I did spill red wine on the carpet and I apologised most sincerely and offered to clean it but the hostess was ok about it! Just downloading my RAW files, then will convert to DNG (a pain but I have no choice) and pick the best to PP. They looked great in camera however, on screen may be a different matter!

Went to look for ospreys transiting Poole Harbour on their way South but found I was too late. I have seen them as late as the second week of October but this year it seems they mainly passed through at least a month earlier.
Apart from that just finished pp-ing my shots from a Busmans Holiday in southern Italy last week touring the 1943/44 battlefield sites around Monte Cassino. First couple in the gallery.

It was a pretty good weekend. Glorious weather, fabulous country show at Eskdale (got a nasty attack of photographic incontinence) and also a great hike the next day to see a remote historic site.
Autumn's on its way, photographically - that's a bonus too!!
