I often go on the many nice short walks around the Winlaton, Blaydon, Barlow locality. I thought I might amuse myself by keeping a phographic record of things I see.
I started in the spring of 2007 with local flora, also some butterflies/etc., plus some pictures of the actual walks, all taken within about a two mile radius from Winlaton.
Please visit the gallery (SORRY - GALLERY WEBSITE DOWN AT PRESENT) for my collection of photos of these things. The flora pics start with the common species and I will gradually add more. They are mostly in pairs (after a dandelion eulogy) - flower (F) then the plant (P) Return to the home page and then visit the gallery (or click on link below) if you would like too see my photographs.
Just click on each picture to view it, then scroll down to the bottom and click on 'full size'.
For other collections (local walks/views & jazz pics) visit the index when in the gallery.
The photos above are of the Derwent Valley from Knobby Ends Lane, Winlaton and a yellowhammer taken on Barlow Fell Road, near the village.
