I have said many times how glad I am that I live in Dorset. I have a great life and love to get out and see life.

It isn't all about Wildlife although this is a big part, I also try not to miss the Steam Fair and Bournemouth Air Festival, if there is a chance of a quick landscape picture Happy days.

This years Weymouth carnival started with a flight from the WW1 Air Display Team, what a great show, I didn't see the carnival or the Red Arrows as I  had to start Night shift.

The Following weekend was pretty full on, Elaine and I did our annual trip to the Steam Fair, it was exhausting trekking through the mud, but a good day was had.

This year they had a WW1 trench experience, I tried to make my pics look as realistic as possible.

The Next day, it was up early, shooting up to our daughter Kerrie's house in Poole, we all went on to Bournemouth to see the Air Festival, It did not start well when Chris my daughters partner drove us to the park and ride, the queue for the bus must have been at least 1/2 a mile long, cleverly he quickly rang for a taxi and we got there in time to see the Eurofighter, phew!!!! it was busy this year I have never seen so many visitors there.

One of the benefits from working nights in Weymouth at this time of year is to see the Sunrise, if there is a ship on Number 1 berth it makes for an even better picture, this time it was the Tall ship Pelican.

And to finish some pics I took from Kimeridge.
