He was so well behaved, so patient up until the point when his sister gave his head a big over enthusiastic hug…more pics to follow.

Schools Prom – Colchester, Essex.

They still sung brilliantly despite the fact that The Colne Community School Choir had some of their members missing because they had to participate in a Dance exam which took place the same evening.

Led by Geoff Osborne ( Head of the Music Dept at the Colne Community School ) and Alison Benz singing coach Colne Fusion performed alongside other schools from Essex in Colchester’s Colne Round Table Schools Prom at The Charter Hall, Colchester.

In this series of paintings , executed over a 2 year period following her husband’s diagnosis with Parkinson’s Disease, she consistently uses the skirt as her starting point.

I was delighted to be asked to take pictures of my friends chocolate Labrador Max, we headed off to one of his favourite spots to run in Brightlingsea, Essex. I love animals so it was such a treat to photograph him playing having fun…To see the other pictures click here to go to the gallery http://www.pbase.com/wakelin/pet_gallery

Walking in Essex

Following a shoot on Saturday I decided to go for a walk in Brightlingsea. I followed the path from behind the Beach Huts along by the water to Arlesford Creek. It was cold but a beautiful day and I was so glad I had taken my camera with me. The light was simply perfect and as I wandered about choosing different clouds to shoot I suddenly spotted a dark swarm on the horizon and realise that a large flock of Geese are on the move and heading my way…..

It is at this point I am regretting only bringing one lens with me! As they swoop and curve over, the noise of them chattering and flapping fills the air around me. On the ground their shadows seem to move in slow motion and remind me of a clip I once saw in a Pink Floyd video of dark aircraft shapes moving as one.

I stand in wonder at the ever changing scenery in front of me..

After putting on a very impressive air display they finally settle down in a field near by.

Then I approach the creek which is still and silent and illuminated like a freshly painted picture.
