    I really enjoyed the session. despite the freezing weather, we managed to get out into the arboretum and put into practice the instructions we had been given. Practical learning has always been more suitable for me and I found the teaching methods met my needs. The informal style helped me to feel less incompetent and the small group meant that we all got the opportunity to have our questions answered by the teacher. The friendly group made it fun and enjoyable even if it took a while to thaw out afterwards!

    The photo was taken on the rocks near Howick in Northumberland. The conditions for sunrise seemed to suit a long exposure to smooth the water out. Northumberland is truly one of the best places to witness sunrises, we are really lucky.

    It was a bitterly cold morning after a heavy frost, but a nice bright start to the day. The small birds were very active searching for food, by midday the light was just right and this little robin flew right in front of me, then just hovered for a couple of seconds. So pleased with how this picture has turned out. Canon R5mkii and Rf100-500 L. Edited with Photoshop and Light room.
