It's pretty obvious that I haven't done a lot of photography lately and I don't expect that to change much - I am prioritising more important things in life and as this doesn't really bring anything in (financially) it doesn't make sense to pour as much energy into it as I used to...

The break has actually done me a lot of good and I am really enjoying not chasing numbers or continually being sat at a computer doing things that I don't find fun anymore!

Anyways I want this to be a quick post so here is what I believe to be some type of Orb Weaver taken on a walk through the forest.

What attracted me to the shot was how it really stood out due to the background being so far away making for a plain, green and minimalistic one.

It's no secret that I haven't been doing a lot of photography since the kids summer holidays started back in mid-July.

I have made peace with it and got a lot of things sorted in life and it's honestly been a break from the pressures of constant social media posts that were not really getting me anywhere
(I guess it doesn't help having a brain and opinions which usually get my page "not recommendable" on Facebook :D)

Whilst picking Joey up from his most recent trip to some local fishing Lakes I knew there would be a Kingfisher about due to the location being perfect for them. I just wish it didn't take hours to show and right at the end of the day when the clouds came over...

Still it's something to post I guess lol :D

When I dropped Joey off to fish at Wallington Hall I was shocked to find at least 4 Buzzards flying around at extremely close distances (which is odd as Buzzards tend to avoid humans like the plague)

Typically I didn't have my camera on me or I would have gotten some of the best wild shots that I have seen :(

When I came back later on to pick him up (and explore a bit) there were none to be seen - although this Red Kite did pay me a quick visit, which was nice :)

Not the most exotic of birds but they always find a way of looking that way here in the UK!
This fella posed nicely for me yesterday by the lake whilst Joey was fishing.

Squirrel, Brandon Forest.

The first photo I have taken in a long time.

Was hoping to see some Red Deer but a mental Wilson and a rude argumentative teenager scuppered those chances.
Such is life.

I'm feeling quite uninspired, unsupported and demotivated for wildlife photography at the moment (so as a quite petty and imperfect sort of person)
I have decided the best course of action is to disappear from social media entirely until next year.

See you in 2027. Maybe.

I felt like this was an appropriate photo to post today!

I am also glad that the British public elected a government, that thought I needed a warning on my phone, to tell me not to light any fires in this freezing cold weather! :D

It's almost been a year since I started the transition away from Lumix in favour of OM System.

I chose to switch due to the availability of pro lenses with OM System and Lumix's apparent abandonment of the Micro Four Thirds system.

A year later I couldn't be happier with the move but I'm under no illusion that the Lumix gear was more than adequate for the type of photography I do. I had great times with the G9's!

Here are some images that I hope back that up :)
