Summer sorbets

Recently on a very warm day in London we came across a dessert place we have seen a couple of times before. This time due to the heat we decided that we would stop by possibly for an ice-cream or a cake to take away. In the end we opted to stay. Here is the sorbet sundae that I enjoyed, all fresh fruit flavours turned out to be very refreshing. The place is called Kula and is located near to Selfridges in an area called St James' Square if I am correct. Worth a visit as there is plenty of choice and they do savouries and meals as well.

River Usk

Before returning home for the summer, I went on a day trip to Abergavenny. The original plan was to walk in the hills but I couldn't seem to find the start of any of the footpaths. Instead I found myself wandering along the banks of the Usk, which was very pleasant. It seemed I was in the middle of nowhere alone with the birds and the field of horses across from me. Here I stopped to take in the view behind me. The river diverted alongside rocky shores here so that the main body of water is to the left of the frame.

A couple of years ago I was lucky enough to stay at a Farm in Worcester a couple of times. This meant evening strolls around the farm to see the animals. These beautiful cattle were always pleased to see us. They were inside for a while before being let out to roam the fields. 

Around the River bend

Looking out at Mount Rundle from the base of Bow falls, in Banff National Park. The falls are only a short walk from the town. They have been eroded down by a storm but are still wonderful to watch and observe the power of flowing water.  Banff itself although touristic is close to some wonderful sciences of nature and well worth stopping for. 

Rainbow Lorikeet

 At Bristol Zoo there is a wonderful area where you can walk amongst the free-flying Lorikeets. For a small charge you are then able to feed them. The birds seem to really enjoy this and are rather greedy with some people getting around three birds perching on their arms. The bright colours of the plumage are always eye catching.

Bristol Harbour

Last summer I decided to go on a ferry ride around the harbour here in Bristol. It is something I had been meaning to do for a while but never got around to. Well on my adventures I was quite taken by the colourful houses up on the hill. There also happened to be these wonderful ducks that I felt added to the shot so here is my photographic take on the harbour side in this quirky city.

Clifton Evenings

I am very lucky to live only a matter of minutes away from the Clifton Suspension Bridge. A lot of the time I am too busy to be able to see the sunset but on this occasion I was able to capture a nice glow of the clouds, despite missing the main event. The bridge is somewhere that despite being iconic to Bristol, is still an area which is peaceful in the evenings with only a few people wandering around. I will be leaving Bristol in June and hope to capture the bridge at sunset again before then.
