mikebov replied
Thanks for your wonderful comments john
I have never had a lesson, totally self taught
digital does make it so much easier you can experiment without any cost. It also helps that 99% of the time I have a camera to hand
I need a camera like most women need their handbags
thanks again
Mike
John44
Stick to the Camera Mike! A ‘handbag’ might look a bit odd :-))

I must go there this year – is it right you go from Seahouses – how much from there I am a member of National Trust
mikebov replied
Seahouses is right
I don’t know if there is any discount for NT members.
I think the boats are privately run, probably refiited fishing boats
There is a choice of trips.
We chose one that allowed us to disembark for about an hour on Longstone.

Simply stunning! The reflections are amazing.

Everyone who knows me knows how much I love reflections. I actually miss them as there are no large ponds or lakes on Maui and I often search for them in the shallow tide pools along waters edge. This reflective image is very beautiful Mike, and the bright colours of the light house compliment the lovely shades of blue so perfectly!!

thankyou so much for your generous comments
