Animals
I love these marvellous creatures with whom we humans share the planet. Dogs, in particular, are very special.

Yorkshire
The county where I was born and brought up, so more than a bit special to me. There's a huge variety to its charms.

Textures
The patterns and textures in everyday life are a wonder to those with eyes that linger on them.

Isle of Bute
I have only visited the Isle of Bute once, in 2013, but was struck by its rugged beauty.

Flowers
Unlimited in their hue and variety, flowers are, to me, one of God's very best ideas.

Isles of Scilly
Just 28 miles off the coast of Cornwall, these islands are a glorious subtropical paradise.

People
The faces, the experience revealed in the eyes, the infinite variety of expression—there's nothing as wonderful as people!

Birds
Birds are, to me, a perennial source of wonder. I love their beauty, their variety—and their freedom to soar.

General
Some scenes defy easy categorisation, so this is my miscellaneous collection.

Architecture
Some man-made structures are truly wonderful, testaments to human creativity and industry.

Boats
Boats to me are something to look at and admire; I'm not so keen on getting into them! 'Messing about in boats'? I'll leave that to you.

Cornwall
The county at the extreme south-west tip of England. Its beauty makes it a magnet for tourists from all over the world.

Stylised
Sometimes, a bit of tweaking in Photoshop, Topaz, Nik or Luminar can turn an ordinary scene into something a bit special.

Down the centuries, humans have shown themselves capable of creating the most exquisite beauty.

Black & White
With no colour to distract the eye, black and white photos draw our attention to shape, light and texture.
