Time with friends

We met Ernalyn off the Oriana and took her shopping. She always makes a beeline for the cheap shops like Savers and Primark. We usually park and walk with her through John Lewis, she never looks at anything in there. We have often tried to buy her something nice for herself but she always refuses. She is a girl who doesn't covet and is not materialistic.

I'm Depressed

Watching another P&O cruise ship, Oceana, sail away, I know not where but wish I was on board. This was taken from the John Lewis restaurant.

Shop 'til you drop!

That's the motto of West Quay fans. I got my collar felt by security guards in here because photography is not allowed, I don't know why, it's a public place. They were pleasant and didn't ask me to delete my images so I didn't argue, I'd got what I wanted.

Shopfront Project?

I've done a lot of shopfronts in my time, I'll have to go through my files and bring them all together. I like to include interesting people if possible. There's rather a large bloke in this one.

Cosmopolitan City

Interesting mix of people in this picture covering a very small area. Southampton really is a multi racial society. Don't hear an awful lot of English though!

Low Cuisine

Still fairly warm but not really shorts weather. This bloke is doing a brisk trade but I don't fancy anything!

The Cruise Terminal

Taken from the IKEA building, The ship is the Independence of the Seas, a huge ship, Don't think I would like to take a cruise on it!

Pretty Peacock

Again on Brownsea Island, there's quite a lot of these milling about.

Endangered Species

I've lived in the Bournemouth area since 1988 but this is the first time I have been to Brownsea Island and the first time I have seen a red squirrell let alone photographed one.

Beauty

So pristine, so perfect, this is Bournemouth!

Can you believe this

This is the second time we have been here, we were very impressed with the food the first time, it's not just Pizza anymore and you get unlimited lemonade top ups!

Another Bird Family

I have been watching this particular Swan family because they were very late hatching. The youngsters are doing very well now.

Our Neighbours

We are having some exceptionally warm weather for the time of year. I was on my way back from a walk and took a quick snap.

Oh Dear

No, it's not!
