The last few weeks have been spent organising printing of banners, programmes and posters for Leeds and Oxford. Anyone passing Leeds Town Hall will find these banners on the front, and 20 more hanging from lampposts in the surrounding streets and around Leeds centre. The shows open tomorrow night and some tickets are still available – bring some friends and have a fabulous night! Have a look at the websites: British Shakespeare Company and Comedy in the Park. A year’s work and it will all be over in the next four weeks, but already our thoughts are turning to the 2008 shows.

WILDLIFE PHOTOGRAPHYComments Off

It’s been a long week, especially with a couple of days in Surrey on another training course. My blog is starting to look like a wildlife blog rather than a design blog, but it’s a reflection of the work I am doing at the moment. Anyway, off for a friday night walk with trusty camera and expections of more butterfly or dragonfly photos, when over the hedge flies a red kite. The local farmer had just cut the grass in his field and a pair of kites where following the tractor in the hope of finding prey. I managed to get about 20 shots tonight of these magnificent birds, which measure 5 foot across their wingspan.

I haven’t had time to write over the last two weeks, due to workloads, but I managed to get out with my camera for a couple of hours yesterday afternoon. I took nearly a hundred photographs of butterflies, dragonflies and even a passing fox. I’m off to London later today, so must get on!
