More Marsden 100!

 Tonight, I've actually finished processing the images from the Marsden Park Centenary event.  So over the next few days more and more of these images will be uploaded here and to my flickr account.

Keep watching.  It could be you next on your monitor!

More from Marsden 100

 The event is now packed away and everyone has gone home.  It was a fantastic day and the weather was pretty much on our side.

Now its my turn to take the lead as the Friends of Marsden Park and I look to build a lasting memory of the day.

The Marsden 100 images are coming along nicely despite limited editing time.  Here is a couple of the next round of images.

Marsden Centenary Event - Marsden 100


 Today, the Friends of Marsden Park, Walton Lane Children's Centre and Pendle Borough Councils Park Keeper Service got together to put on an event to celebrate 100 years of Marsden Park.

Despite the weather of Friday the event went ahead with very little changes or effect from incoming weather.

Photographs from this event will be continued to be posted over the coming days.

Nice surprises

Yesterday, I had an afternoon out with my camera.  I took quite a few shots.  Had some nice ones but nothing too thrilling.  Then I came across this little fella!  I must of spent around 40 minutes watching a young family of Kingfishers.  They were fantastic and were not at all bothered that I was taking photographs of them.
In addition to coming across the kingfishers, I've been closely following a family of Nuthatches and this had led to a lovely series of images.

Finally, for this post, I've got a new obsession;  I sort of become obsessed with nature reclaiming the urban areas.  It sort of started with a couple of quick shots but it's quickly developing in to a little side project.  Here's one of the images!
Last night was also the presentation for Blackburn & District Camera Club's Annual Exhibition.  I received a A third, highly commended and a commended.
