Introducing My Guitars


Christmas is one of my favorite times of the year. I always like spending time with my family at Christmas and of course opening presents. I myself was amazed when I saw this present, it was a new guitar, and now I have two. I enjoy playing my two guitars.

And here is my old guitar in a video.


And here is my newist guitar in a video.


I hope you enjoy the rock music :-)

Green & Brown

The other day a went to photograph some leaves for my blog. The reason was that it had rained when I was at school doing work. I had a big chance to get some strange wet photos after school. When some of you went to Findlays party you might remember this shrub if not you don't need to worry because I have took a photo of this shrub. 

It is really easy to tell you what I like about this photo, but any way I will tell you. I absolutely love this photo because you can see the bright red stork and then it joins with the slim leaf. If you notice it looks like part of the leaf has been cut with the rain drops. As I said earllyer if you saw this shrub it has got miles bigger since the party walk. 

If I was a famous photographer do you think people would like it or not, because I have not a clue and I am not a good judge so do you think you could help me there.   
  

I bet you are thinking what I am going to put for this next photo. Because the evil clouds rained, this leaf may look nice and dry but actually it is nice and wet. There are many types of leafs in the UK. The leaf looks like it is camouflaged on the ground.

Walking Near Home - Pylons, Windows and Reflections

You might think this looks familiar in this photo but you might also think it looks weird, it is part of a pylon.  


As I walked along a bit further I found a arch way of two trees. I called it a arch way because there is cohesion with the trees. We learnt the word cohesion in literacy.


I took this photo because the bird looks like a shadow on the water even though it's the real bird.


In this photo a boat came past and it made the water ripple so I quickly got my camera and got a snap.

Liquid Gold

I took this photo at a lake near our house. 

I like this photo because it looks like it was dark, but it was not it was bright. This makes me feel like the lake was full of gold.

Splash!

We were throwing in acorns at the lake and fish must of thought they were a yummy treat. I was trying to photograph the splashes every time they jumped out of the lake.




At the lake there were lots reflection and this one looks like a herd of diplodocus had come for a drink.

Binoculars and Birdfairs

I went to the birdfair with my family and I thought the banner would make a great photo to start this blog. There's the RSPB on one side and on the other side is the Wildlife trust.


I like the different sizes of the bins and the way they stood up in rows.


 I saw some more bins, voila, an idea came to my head, line them up again and take another picture. I like the way they get more focused further away as normally it is the other way round.


And to end the day I spotted a Little Egret and watched it using the show bins!

Encouraging The Grown Ups

Grandma's friend Irene opens up her garden for people to look round every Wednesday. Me and my brother Findlay asked Irene if we could have a stand in the garden to talk to the grown ups about moths, butterflies and birds.  We set up the moth trap the night before, so we would have some moths to show everyone.

These people stayed for nearly an one hour and they where very interested in everything we had on the stand. Lots of people came to talk to us and most of them had lots of questions. Some of them went away to eat scones.


 And this is on our stand. Here are the moths we were showing people. The brime stone and the Large emerald were everybodies favourite. On the stand as well we had a butterfly chart showing their actual sizes.


Irene was really kind letting us do it and when Juliano got home, we all watched a Red Kite fly over the garden. I hope all the people like moths a bit more now.

Reflection




I like this picture because the sky looks better in the reflection with all the trees.

The picture was taken in Wales.

Irene's Garden


I am talking about both photos in this bit. We went to a garden you could visit and the owner is called Irene. Irene is a friend of Grandmas. You would not believe how big her garden is. It was like the size of 9 blue whales. I was looking all over the place. I didn't want to leave it was that good and big. Irene's garden had lots of EPIC photos to take like this one below. I went up to this friendly grown up and I said " If you stand from here you can get the wood, hedges, pot and flowers. To be fair it was a bit of a good photo. By the way I am not saying I am the best at photography.


How I got the photo was I got under the tree and leaves and put my camera against the tree and went out looking. I waited until I could hear it focus and I took the photo.


If you look at one side it is ruff and if you look at the other it is smooth and I like the fence how it splits them up.


For this next picture I put the camera on top of the hedge and then looked towards the sky and took the photo. I really like the way the picture turned out.


I found this roller hidden in the bushes and though it would make an interesting picture. I think it did.


I would like to say thank you to Irene for letting me have so fun much in her enormous garden.

Monster Moths

First we built a moth trap. I was going to blow up it was that amazing, and then we put it behinded the tree  and waited until it was the next morning and my expert Findlay and my dad got up near the time 5.00.  Soon I got up and said " Are you doing it all ready " The moths were in the pots, big / small. We set up a place where we would put the moths for photographs and for the dark ones we put them on a light coloured log. I like the colour of the moths and a lot look really furry like a furry bear.

Elefant Hawk Moth.


Then we went to get the next moth a...

Garden Tiger Moth 


This next one looks like it was around in the dinosour time and the face looks like a cat fish, even the wings looks like a dragon. Does the moth have a curved tail for a reason, do you now why?

Poplar Hawk Moth.  


 This moth looks like a twig.
Buff Tip 


I really enjoyed having a go with the moth trap.

Grandma's Chickens


I was taking photos of Grandma's hens and I think this one was trying to lay a egg, but Grandma put the hen on top of the run so me and Findlay could take a photo (and Grandma wanted to be in it to). I got down on my knees to get this photo and on this photo the hen looks very grumpy and a bit evil, but Grandma doesn't. This hen is called Windy she looks a little bit like a pheasent. 

When I said ''The hen looks evil.'' I meant if you look in the eye that looks evil. Anyway it had enough on the shed and jumped off and joined the other hens. I got a photo of the hen jumping off but it was bit blurred. I can not remember if it layed an egg, but for breakfast I had an omlette, lets hope there was not a chick in there. Yuk. The omlette tasted nice though. I like the photo because Grandma is peeping behind the hen.

I was practising my hen photos and doing it in different angles and I wanted to get the silly hens in a bunch with their bums in the air and them looking up, also them eating grass I wonder whet that tastes like. 


My grandma said that will be a good photo if you get the hen in all the grass and guess what, it was a good photo even if I say so my self.


 We were driving along a track and I wanted to stop because I spotted a bunch of poppys, like the hens were in a bunch to.

A Spooky Marsh

 When we were driving through Frodsham Marsh today, we saw lots of spooky cobwebs and we were surrounded by it. Its all over the place. It is made by the Spindle Ermine Moth caterpillars.


Here  is a wall of cob webs.


 I was getting out of the car, but I was trapped by over grown grass and nettles so I had to squeeze through. We looked out on the 6 tank because we were doing the WeBS count. Then it got so windy that I got in the car, I had to get in the other side. When I got out I wondered if the wind would come back and yes, it did. Anyway gess what this caterpillar was on metal the wing mirror. The caterpillar has orange and black spots. It looks like its on a road I think.  


Dose anyone know what this bug is because I think its a blue bottle. You can see all the lines in the wing. How I spotted it, I was just walking along and it caught my eye.


Again this time I have not a clue but the funny thing was a caterpillar crawled into the shot as well. Can you see it?


 On here I just wanted to get the flowers and one was about to come out.


TONGUES. Near a bend on a path I saw a hedge with a long green tongue sticking out. If you had a tongue that big, I think you will have to go to the doctor and then come back.

Feed Me Noooowwwww !


We normally get Starlings in are garden and we are now seeing the juveniles. I tried to get the tripod set up and got the sun as far behind me as I could. This is a photo of a juvenile asking for dinner.


 Also the starling is hunting and the juvenile is sitting, waiting for its food. Feed mmmmmmeeeee !


I dont mind if its black and white, I think its better. He is getting fed but the one behind wants to be fed as well.


I call this a two bodied bird.


The juvenile is getting taught how to hunt to get a gooey worm.


I zoomed out so I could get the family.


Here are the brothers like me and Findlay.

Stone


 I was at grandma's and there were lots of different stones so I've decided to do a stone blog. Now in this photo, I did not know I got a SHARK stone. There was a bird near it so I cropped the picture and I draged the photo so it had the shark stone, the bird and the bottom stones, but the hill kept getting in the way, so I cut that out. I could see all the types of birds because this very, very kind man called ken lifted me up so I could have a look through his teleskop and I met Kathy. It was very nice meeting them. Thank you very much Ken.


As I said this is about stones on this one its a bonus because you've got a stone house, a stone wall and rocks and look at the sky and the sea they are like the same. 


We went to Anglesey and there were lots of stones so I took a photo of them. They were smooth and shiny.


We were at South Stack and the stone steps were all twisty.


Lots of stone things.

Prince William


When we were at South Stack this helicopter came swooping past and you can see the wheels. Look at the people in there, luckily no one dround, they were just practising.


The bits that make it fly are making a mist be blowing the water up in the air.


We were in North Wales so there could be a chance that it is Prince William flying the helicopter and look at the silly legs flopping about.


I am going to explain how the waves are crashing in the picture below. The wind is blowing it one way from out to sea and then another wind is blowing another way round the lighthouse rock at South Stack. The wind blowing two different ways makes these waves crash together.
