From the archives we're up to June 2006, and the early part of that month starts as usual with the Royal Cornwall Show at Wadebridge.

One of my best from the show I think is this one taken at a blacksmiths forge...

...and a few more images from the show...

...it was a great show that year, but then it is every year.

And June 2006 produced what is in my opinion my best sunset image...
Fire in the sky

On June 22nd I went for a Summer Solstice walk on Bodmin Moor and met this young pony...

...and also took this self portrait...

...but of course the main attraction was the rugged landscape...

I've been to the Eden Project twice in the past week, and why not when you can get lovely subjects like this...

Even in October still plenty of colour about even outside the biomes...

Loads more photos from the Eden Project in my Eden 2007 set on Flickr

Raiding the archives again and now up to June 2005, another busy month with the Royal Cornwall Show taking up a couple of days of my time. There's always so much to see there, and although it's basis is an agricultural show the Steam Fair is a great favourite with it's colourful rides...

And another 3 months later....and again it doesn't seem that long. I will have to get my life sorted, I seem to be neglecting everything. Anyway, time to catch up with the 2 years ago photos - this first one from February 2005 although it was taken March 5th 2004 on St. Piran's Day in Truro. St. Piran is the patron saint of Cornwall.

This next photo was taken in February 2005, in my back garden and is one of my most popular photos...
A Bucket full of Clouds

Two years ago I had only been on Flickr for a few months so I was uploading many archive photos taken before I joined Flickr. This shot of a European Eagle Owl was taken in June 2004 at the Royal Cornwall Show...

Apart from archive photos I also found time to be a little creative...
