Nice weather for ducks!

Unusual places for ducks to take in the sunshine! Fourteen locks in Newport and Caldicot Castle.

Walking along the river Usk at dusk

A few photographs of the sun setting along the river Usk in Newport, including Twm Barlwm and more squirrels.

Swans and ducks

More wildlife at Newport Wetlands! The first was captured through a viewing station.

Teazles in the sun

Having spent a sunny afternoon in Newport Wetlands reserve I have taken these photographs with my new Canon SX50 HS - pretty impressive zoom!!

 

Everyone's gone surfin'

Here are some miniature photographs taken on Tenby and Newport, Pembrokeshire, beaches of surfboards, sunshades and swimmers!

Blurring the boundaries

We recently returned to Newport Wetlands in South Wales so here are some photographs using fences and causeways as frames along with close up of a clover flower (with its own resident insect which I didn't notice when I took the photo!)

Contre jour

I have been trying to take photographs against the light to see what effects I can get. Here are a few examples from Abbey Dore, Herefordshire, Newport Wetlands and Magor Marshes, Monmouthshire.

Newport Transporter Bridge

Two different pictures from different angles of the Newport Transporter Bridge, South Wales as the sun was setting.
