It’s been a very busy week this past week. My daughter has been over from France with her partner, my grandson and a group of their friends. And they have all been staying with me. If you have emailed me and I haven’t replied, I can only apologise. I will reply as soon as the chaos clears.

Now for the image. I Shot this a couple of weeks back on morning trip to the Peak District. I had wanted to shoot the heather but the weather was terrible. In the end, we found ourselves in Padley Gorge, sheltering from the rain under a tree. The weather didn’t look like it was going to lift but I decided to try one final shot.

I knew this spot having shot the tree before. I wandered over to take a look before dashing back with my tripod, camera and a plastic bag over the top to protect my equipment from rain.

I only managed one shot before giving up and the camera got soaked. I really didn’t expect anything from this attempt but looking at the image now I’m really pleased I tried.

Have a great weekend and I hope you enjoy better weather than I did.
