Happy 45th Birthday, Dad!

Today was my Dad's 45th birthday...He's getting old now!!

Des and I bought him some Reebok classic trainers, a thin raincoat and a t-shirt. Nothing fitted him even though my Mum gave me the right clothes size. He says he thinks that they have the wrong label on! He gets to go on a shopping trip tomorrow to exchange them!

We also paid for him to go and watch the Manchester City vs. Tottenham Hotspurs football game next Sunday. Neither Des or my Dad support these football clubs, but the City of Manchester stadium is just around the corner, and both of them like watching any football!

I'm just so glad that Des and my Dad get on well!

Happy Mothers Day!

Sunday was Mothers Day here in the UK. Here is what my Mum got from Nikki and I!

I made Explore!!

Yay! I made EXPLORE!! Here is a bigger version of the photograph that made it. You can view my photostream HERE!

This pic needs it's own post!

I snapped this elephant at the zoo yesterday! You've heard the saying "hung like a horse"...Well, it should be "hung like an ELEPHANT"!!

Some more photographs for your viewing pleasure!

I took my Dad off to Chester Zoo to cheer him up a little bit. I wish I hadn't bothered because he moaned all the way round, so we only stayed for 2 hours (if that).

Yesterdays Moon

Was beautiful! I've been trying different things and have found out that I need to use my external flash to get slightly better quality. I still need a bigger zoom to get more clarity, so I'm thinking of hiring one to see whether it would be worth buying, since the 2 lenses that I already have are perfect for what I need.

The Moon

I attempted to photograph the moon in the very early hours of this morning! I don't think I did too badly for my first attempt, but I think I need a bigger zoom lens to get a better quality. More money...Sigh!

Zoe & Steve's Wedding Reception

Was last night, at the Imperial Hotel in Llandudno.

We had a lovely time, although my mind was elsewhere, and both the bride and groom looked happier than I've ever seen them! Congratulations!

Another trip to the zoo!!

A picture says a thousand words, which is why I hardly post...Only pictures!!
