Finally some sunshine!
With this, Becky and I managed to go out to the river in Marlow. This is always a great chance to get out with the camera as there is plenty of bird life and since I hadn’t had much chance to use the 7D yet I took it with me.
To try out the auto focus I thought I would try panning some of the back headed gulls that were darting back and forth scrounging food as they are tricky to follow, let alone for the camera to manage to focus on.
The 7D did well and I managed to get some nice shots. This guy was abruptly changing direction as I took the shot which made for some interesting angles and a slightly different pose.
I haven’t blogged anything for quite some time. In fact, the post before last was in June just after we picked up our puppy, Wile E!
So, I thought I would write a little update (mostly for myself should I ever read back, given that probably no one reads this!) to round up 2009 and the various things that have occurred in my life during that time.
The year seems to have really really flown by, which is a bit frightening as the speed at which it passes indicates you are continuing to get older.
Anyway, hit the “More” link to check out the rest of the post as the chances are that this could get quite lengthy

Shot yesterday during a walk in the woods with Becky, Wile E and a neighbour. The trees looking beautiful with many inches of snow resting on their branches.
We were off the beaten track because there wasn’t one! Shin deep snow was unspoiled until we passed through.
I do love the snow and am always glad to get snowed in as it means I can get out in the daylight with my camera.
