Beautiful images Mick.
Taken by Henley (aged 3). He decided he wanted to use grandads camera for the day and chose his own subjects.

 Wow! It must be in the genes! Well done young Henley.  8)

In between his camera duties he still has time to play.

I  know the feeling, David.... I've always thought I'd make a good Grandma....  but since I have no children that's a bit on the tricky side to arrange...... :( :-X

Elderly bloke, fond of kids (are you allowed to say that these days!?) willing to act a surrogate granddad. No reasonable offer refused.

My 25 year old son has just bought his own Nikon camera after using mine before. He has taken some pretty good photos at home and around the district.

It's really interesting to see your son's view of your district with thought-provoking images....I really like the old wood stacked on the cart.

Also it is is intriguing to see colour and b&w of the same subject together for comparison....for me the lichen wall zig zagging away works better in colour

Congratulations on great images  :D

Pat, your son has a definite eye for composition... beautifully framed images, beautiful if not haunting imagery.  Enjoyed these a lot.

Super pix, Pat.... more talent in your brood , I see!
What is the tree... in flower?... in image  #051 ? Very stately look to it, without its leaves but covered in what I assume are blossoms.

I will relay the messages to my son who will be chuffed.
The tree is possibly an old almond which is a survivor where old farmhouses have long gone.

..it's trite, but beauty and the beast?
Yemen, what a country ... Haraz mountains, Socotra, Sana'a, Hadramaut, the empty quarter.... a country of stunning, mind altering beauty...and the friendliest of people.
