Day 212 of my 365 Project 2017
Shetland Ponies.
Been busy all day today editing weddings etc, but I have been looking forward to the shoot tonight of some shetland ponies and two new foals. Took this just as the pony had finished rolling and scratching herself in the grass, just before she got back up. I love the way her main is blowing in the wind. I will be doing a full post later about the shoot.

Sunset at Bad Bend on the Town Kellow Road .
Did a lovely wedding today at first Great Ayton and finished at Hardwick Hall for their lovely reception. Kirstie and Tim got married in Stokesley Church. I took this after I had done their first dance on the way home I saw the amazing sunset so did a little detour along from the Dovecote to the Town Kelloe Road. You dont get many sunsets like this. I have posted a photo from their wedding on my Grange Photography facebook page.

Sunshine Breaking Through.
Took this when I had Bailey for a walk on the pit heap. Noticed the sun pushing through the pine tree and the starburst effect the sun beams were making love pictures like this, It looks great in Black and white too but decided to post the colour version.

Pink Wild Flowers ?.
Took this today while I was down Hurworth Burn Reservoir tonight with Bailey while I had him for a walk. Im not sure what type of flower it is and haven't got the time to look it up but hope someone could tell me. Weather still hasn't been brilliant today considering its suppose to be July.

Lake District Panorama.
I was over Cumbria today and took this fell view, it is a two photos stitched together when the weather picked up near Keswick. I had to take detour because of roadworks on the A66 and noticed the scene, I'm not sure exactly where it is but thought it looked pretty. Will need a new set of window wipers if it keeps raining never really stopped on my travels the last three days.

Sunburst Cornfield.
Took this tonight when I got back from Cumbria while out with Bailey, he's been a bit off colour last couple of days but seems fine now. I love this field it's opposite the gables and the vicarage at Trimdon Grange. I normally take Bailey down here at least once a day, the weather has been the best on an evening for the last few days as it teamed down during the day again today. I love the sunburst and rays coming from the setting sun through the clouds.

Misty Day in Cumbria.
I have been over Cumbria today weather was either very overcast or misty or both. Took these sheep who were watching me just incase I was going to get to close, love this scene today its very Lake District. I think the mist on the fells adds to the photo it was actually spitting on to rain when I took this.

Busy Bumble Bee.
The weather has been terrible today, it didnt get out till after tea time. Did a few errands today, we are looking after our little person for the next six weeks, today has been ok but its only the first day!! Bought several little bottles for an event later this year and also finished editing a wedding, the couple were over the moon when I delivered their photos. I only have got one to edit and finish before the weekend before I start all over again. This bee reminds me of myself I never seem to stop in the summer but I'm not complaining

Cumbria Fells.
What a lovely day over Cumbria, Started on the coast at Workington and did a bit of a loop via Whitehaven, to Egremont back to Bothel via the fell road. Took this when I took a detour via Keswick and Buttermere on the way home, this is the first time I have been this way. I could have used loads of photos for my photo today but I have have took a few for stock ready for calendars. I love the rolling fells with the clouds casting big shadows and the big fluffy clouds and blue sky.

Red Admiral Butterfly.
Well the weather hasn't been as good today quite overcast and misty, with a bit of wind. Popped out and bought some frames and supplies for the business and did a bit of editing. Realised that I needed to take a photo. It didn't look as if it was going to get out any better, so took Bailey out and went through the school yard and noticed a few bees and two butterflies on the bush near the gate. Waited patiently for about 10 minutes and managed to get this of a beautiful Red Admiral its seemed an age since I have seen one of these.

Road to the Fells.
What a lovely day again today, hit 27 degrees over Cumbria today there was quite a lot of people on the roads today though. Took this of an old side road looking onto the fells near Shap. I love the clouds and the dramatic sky I used the polarising filter again to make the sky dark.

Sunset Backlit Flowers I Love the Summer.
What beautiful lovely weather today today, I have had a very busy few day and have done the wedding open evening at Hardwick Hall tonight which had a good turn out meet three of my brides for the final arrangements for the up and coming weddings later this month and early next month. Took this tonight about 9 pm to me this shows us the best in english summer nights. I think the flower is a 'Corncockle'but i could be wrong. The flowers were very luminous and nearly transparent, by being backlit in the setting sun, I think this would make a lovely feature wall picture

How green is my valley.
Popped Bailey to the vets for his check up this morning, the old chap is fine he'll be sixteen next month I will have to get him a little hat and he'll be my photo of the day.
Quintessentially English countryside scene with a little river and the nearby sheep grazing. British countryside at its best, used the polarising filter to define the sky and clouds.

Old Railway Truck.
What a lovely day again today, I have been over Cumbria today took this near Sedbergh on the way home. I saw this old railway truck at least thats what I think it is, being used as a shelter for sheep as I was up in the wilds on the little back roads that lead towards the Tan Hill Pub. I used the polarising filter again to make the sky dark and the beautiful clouds.

Sunshine Crop of Barley.
What a lovely day today at least it was in yorkshire, two overcoats warmer than home apparently. Saw this field on the way from Hornsea to Bridlington, I used a polarising filter on the sky to give it the lovely blue and highlight the beautiful clouds. I think this would make a lovely feature wall.

Fields of Gold.
Took this photo this afternoon while out with Bailey, It reminds me of the film 'Sign" I love the tracks the tractors wheels making little paths through the crops like tramlines. Today also reminded me of when we used to hide in the crops and then play in the farmer's bales of straw making camps etc.

Then I popped through to Durham to get a few more photos, it's the first time for years I have managed to go because normally I'm always doing a wedding but i was a great change. If you look into the back of the picture you can see all the other banners lining up on Elvet Bridge.

St Patrick's Church Patrington.
Its been a beautiful day today in yorkshire unlike home as I have been told. It was raining when I set off but once I hit Thirsk the rain had stopped. I started in Driffield and ended up at Beverley via the coast. I took this beautiful church at the small village of Patrington not far from Withernsea on the coast. Parts of the village look as though time has stood still.

Bailey Leader of the Pack.
Been on two photo jobs today first off at Durham to take photos at the Atorus Office, new headshots of the new team member Selva and also a new group photo with the rest of the team. Then I traveled to Hardwick Hall for continuing photographs of the new refurbishments with new conference layouts for the brochure and advertising. Took the pack out again tonight as we have been looking after another two dogs for the last couple of days. I dont think Bailey's that impressed when we go out as a trio, tangles galore hahaha.

Infinity Bridge Stockton.
Its been a beautiful day today, we went to teesside park today for a few bits or should say I was chauffeur to Elaine and Kim.. On the way home I noticed the bridge looking good in the sun whilst driving through stockton so diverted to the riverside to take this photo. I love the line of lamp posts and the deep blue sky and the big white fluffy clouds. p.s we are halfway through 2017 where is the time going as my dad says I feel as though I have a birthday every six months now...

I know I have took a similar photo already this year but I have been busy all day. I took Elaine out for a lovely meal at the Rib Room at Hardwick Hall tonight, on the way home I noticed the colour in the sky and the noticed how fast the clouds were moving so went up to take a slow shutter speed shoot of the wind turbines and get some sunset colour in the sky.
