Well, I took a week off work. Imagine my surprise when it turned out to be sunny and hot all week! I spent just about all of my time off out and about here and there walking and taking photos - so many photos in fact that I’m a little overwhelmed by them all. My normal processing consists of a first pass, process the ones I really like then do a second pass to process any others including ones that I think would require a little extra effort to make presentable. After that, I’ll forget about them and move on.
So far, you can see on Flickr:
Each of these sets are likely to expand when I go through the photos again, but they share a constant theme of animals. I’ve probably never seen so many cows as I have this week. This was only partially by design! The Sparrowpit walk was picked partly because I knew I might get to see some Belted Galloways (top picture). I had no idea how big they were - they look like they’re built to last!
Despite being very close to the White Post Farm Park in Farnsfield, I’d never been to it. I had a day between planned walks and the weather was so hot that a quiet day doing something that required little effort was in order. That place was very entertaining though. I don’t think I could handle it on a weekend in summer when it’s full of children, but mid-week, it was lovely.
Finally, to round this off, is a highland cattle photo. Nicely blowing a raspberry. The picture isn’t that well done, but once again the humour factor used manual override!

Nice coos, as ever. The heavy vignette really adds to that farmers’ auction feel. That top one would be right at home in a country auction saleroom.
