All You Need is Love…..

A New Toy and a Couple of Days Away…
We took a short break in East Anglia which allowed me to go to Norwich and but a super wide angle lens for a very reasonable price. I then spent the next couple of days coming to grips with the … Continue reading

France has Sunflowers….
