Monochrome

Cormorant

by JDO | posted in: Birds, Gloucestershire | 0

Ah – that’s better! Back in my photographic comfort zone. And, breathe…. I was feeling a bit blue today, so took myself off to Croome, where it was a wonderful day for dragoning: there were a few Small Red-eyed Damselflies … Continued

Croome
