Menorah-like wildflower
This is a new one this year in the our field where the wildflowers grow. From sideways on it strongly resembles a menorah candle holder.

Rapeseed fields
The English countryside in May is dominated by dazzlingly yellow fields of rape everywhere you go, giving a surreal effect to views that are normally far greener.

Bird hair day
This blackbird looks as if he dived into a stream to get his prized grub. He certainly wasn’t going to let it go.

Beetle and seedhead
This beautifully patterned beetle was gathering as much of the threadlike pollen from this seed head by simply wading around in it before flying off.

Poppies and wildflowers
May is the best season in Tuscany for poppies and wildflowers. This profusion of colours was captured in a field near Palazzo Del Pero, Arezzo.

Ageing plough
An ageing plough sits abandoned in a field near to where we live. To my knowledge, it hasn’t moved for around twenty years.

Welcome to the revamped dgcPhoto site, complete with a new theme and a new look.
I’ve been rather busy with other things for a while, so I thought a makeover was more than overdue. I hope you like it.
In many ways, the site is the same as before except that with the new theme it’s easier to navigate and more efficient to load. And the layout is far cleaner.
I’m currently using two cameras: the truly excellent Canon 90D I bought several months ago that is streets ahead of any other camera I’ve owned over the years, and a Canon 100D that I’ve had for a couple of years — a really lightweight little workhorse. I am also using my iPhone SE far more than I expected. The latest OS makes it an incredibly versatile camera.
Keep checking out the galleries; the old ones have been reinstalled and new ones are being added.
What were the ‘other things’?
Check out ‘My Novels’ here or in the menu above where a couple of clicks will take you to the world of ClarkeFiction and details of my seven edge-of-the-seat thriller novels and my wife Gail’s wonderful fully illustrated children’s books.
