Gold Award in September 2008 SWPP Competition

Firstly - I must apologise for the fact I haven't updated the blog for so long!  Things have been so hectic with weddings and portrait sessions in the past couple of months, whilst I'm also building my new website.... no rest for the wicked!!

I'm also conscious that I haven't updated the images on my website for a while with none of my recent weddings being on there.  This should be rectified when my new site goes live in the next few weeks.

Anyway I was pleased to find out this week that I was awarded a Gold award in the latest SWPP monthly competition.  Unfortunately, not for a wedding image (which I would have preferred - instead I was given a silver and two bronzes for the wedding categories) but for a shot I took of a seagull a couple of weeks ago.  Here it is:

Knowsley Safari Park

We visited Knowsley Safari Park today, located just outside Liverpool.

Unfortunately the weather wasn't great but we still managed to get close up to lots of different animals including monkeys, elephants and lions.

It's a great place to go (I'd imagine much more so in the summer months!) and it was nice to be able to get some photographs of animals so close up.

The safari park itself is huge and the animals have lots of room to roam so it's a much nicer environment for them than a zoo.
