Photos from a visit to RHS Harlow Carr yesterday where there was a Very Hungry Caterpillar trail to hunt for. As always, we spent a long time in the bird hide, where the squirrels were good value! Henry met a large version of the Hungry Caterpillar! Location: RHS Harlow Carr
Last weekend, as a Christmas present from Mrs Pitts, we visited Scarborough and Alex Meek’s Photography studio to take photos of harvest mice. In a two hour session, I took 1758 photos and I’ve whittled these down to the best (in my opinion) 100, which you can see below!
We visit the Yorkshire Sculpture Park fairly often – a couple of times a year – simply because not only is it relatively close to us, the exhibits change regularly enough to keep it fresh. There is always something new to see. Location: Yorkshire Sculpture Park, West Bretton, Wakefield, WF4 4LG
This is a return visit to this National Trust property – the first in a good few years. To be honest, there were parts of it that felt brand new to me! The last time we were here was for a friend’s wedding, I believe. Anyway, I took to opportunity to take some close ups […]

In another visit to RHS Harlow Carr, this time on May Day, I took another chunk of photos in what is becoming a rather lovely hobby. We spent a fair amount of time in the bird hide, seeing nuthatches, coal tits and bullfinches (I think, bird identification is not my strong point) along with a […]
Now in its third year, the Tour de Yorkshire passed through Gomersal yesterday. I was taken aback by the number of people who were out on the streets to watch the cyclists hard at work. We had decided that being on Spen Lane would be a good place to watch as the hill there is […]
