Garden Mutjac
Finally caught sight of our garden intruder.
After hearing odd noises out the back in the early hours recently, it’s turned out to be a sweet little muntjac at 4.30am
Garden Flowers
Enjoying the garden - and trying some photos to take advantage of the fantastic light, with great contrast.
The Thames nr Culham, down to the weir
Culham Canoeing
Glorious weekend weather, and with Jack at rowing, Zoe, Em and I went for a paddle on the Thames. Putting in at Culham, we headed up to the marina, explored some off-channels, then down to the weir and back.

Enjoying the garden
Spring has arrived, and along with it, a growing abundance of stunning wildlife, flora and fauna.
Everyday we enjoy sitting in garden, and the more we look the more we see.
The White Horse at Uffington
The woods near Mackney farm
At the end of the day....
Swyncombe Stroll
With some fine weather on the penultimate day of 2020 (and with continued covid restrictions) we explored more of our local area. This time exploring Swyncombe woods, giving a little bit of elevation and some lovely open views. (Plenty of great climbing trees too)
Conjuction
Conjunction -2d
The conjunction of Saturn and Jupiter was amazing to observe live tonight. So glad Zoe reminded me about it, and so glad the family managed to see it for about 10 mins of observation before the cloud bank obscured it.
On the 21st the two planets will be visually the closest since 1623... and another 400 years until the next time this close!
Only managed to grab one not-so-pic, so let’s hope for clear skies on 20/21
Lap Land Postcard
What a spectacular treat, to be able to cruise (slowly) around the international circuit at Silverstone enjoying the festive laser light show.

ASIair first live stack ‘ish
Not much to look at, but I finally got my first images of any sort from the ASIair tonight.The tedious firmware update for the mount seems to have helped... and while progress is slow, it is hopefully something to build upon.
Winter later afternoon sun
Thankful for some weekend sun, when I can get out to enjoy it. After a lovely stroll around Blewbury we stopped on the way home to get some drone shots as the sun sank ever lower.
Recording some of the DAM training videos this evening.
Across Oxfordshire from Swincombe to the Clumps
Streatley Hill stroll
With another break in the weather, we headed out to explore another new walk nearby. Parking up Streatley Hill we headed over the road and enjoyed a glorious walk around the autumnal trees, and carpets of fallen leaves. Culminating in a brilliant view across to Goring and the `Thames.
