My photography and Pottery

I love to take photographs of beautiful things as I believe that looking at these images feeds the soul. It is wonderful to share the beauty of nature with others, especially sunsets, which I have photographed hundreds of times both in the UK and abroad. There is something truly magical about a sunset and no two are ever the same.

More recently I have started clay pottery which is my new love and keeps me quiet for hours.

I would like to share some of my favourite photos and a few pieces of my pottery with you here:
