After a good night’s sleep the Boy Wonder bounced upright in fine form, and we had a lovely morning together. After breakfast (Bear Alphabites still the chosen food of champions, happily) he and R went for a walk around the … Continued

I didn’t have the best day with the camera today, but I’m still happy to have spent the afternoon up at the owl field. As Hillyblips suggests in her post, we tried a couple of different shooting spots without ever … Continued
