Teleri relaxes with wild ponies



















This is my best friend Teleri. Teleri grew up in Wales and now lives in London and the Bahamas.

She sent me this striking photo recently:

"The photo was taken on the Gower peninsular in South Wales, near where Catherine Zeta Jones and Michael Douglas have a home. Wild Welsh ponies and cows wander freely around the moors, cliffs and sand dunes. I was in heaven."

Frollicking in Frinton-On-Sea, Essex



Patrick sent me these images of their recent day trips to Frinton-On-Sea, Essex. They stayed with Annabel's parents in Colchester, Essex. When I asked him where was the beach he replied:

"The beach is the quintisential English town of Frinton-on-Sea. Essex. The town only got it's first pub in 1999 and most of the towns folk are wealthy white octagenarians. It's hey day was in the 1940s and they are all there in mind and spirit. You have to drink to survive it, or at least I do. I did my weekly rep theatre there in 1997. That is 6 plays in 7 weeks. One play a week, 16 hrs rehearsal for each one. Just as well there was no pub! I had a hoot."

A Whole Flock Of Wild Turkeys



















On my way to photograph one of Dick's landscaping installations I came across a flock of at least 20+ wild turkeys crossing the road. By the time I was able to get my camera out I managed to catch this many.
