A few photos from a beautiul day in the Broads, combining sunshine, torrential rain, Land Rovers, rowing boats, and fireworks launched out of drainpipes.
Many thanks to Ian and Finola for organising a week in the Norfolk Broads to celebrate New Year. Finding a cottage with a free boat within 4 miles of the Woodforde’s was inspired, although you can’t prove that we ever visited the brewery since we managed to drink all 72 pints of the evidence.
New Year’s Eve also gave us a chance to dress up and polish our french accents, as we took part in “The Brie, The Bullet and The Black Cat”. While I won’t spoil the surprises, you can be reassured that no-one was exactly as the seemed… It also gave me a chance to play with my new flashgun, which really made a difference for indoor portraits.
Other highlights included tens of herons, thousands of seagulls and a beachful of mating, pupping and nursing seals (well worth a visit).
A trip home to see our various families led to a great chance to try out the new lens with some garden birds. I quite like the results, this lens is definitely sharper than my zoom lens. The focussing is fast enough to catch the birds as they fly around, and it brings them up really close.
