How can people be so cruel

(This photo was taken last year on my holidays in Scotland)
I found out today that this beautiful deer nicknamed Big Boy has been killed by some horrible, cruel person, who shot him in the face multiple times with an air gun and left him to suffer.
A Ranger had to put him out of his misery when he was discovered at the roadside by a truck driver. I wish the police could catch this thug and give him to the public. I would love to do to them/him what they have done to this beautiful helpless animal. I'm very upset about this as he was such a beauty and everyone traveling to Glencoe would stop by the roadside to look at him. The man who owned the burger van in the car park Big Boy stayed near used to look after him and make sure when people came to see him they didn't frighten him and get too close. He was such a tourist attraction and everyone loved him. It's such an outrage that someone could do such a cruel thing.

ill-health

I'd like to apologise to everyone who follows my blog but i've not been too well these past couple of months due to a lot of stress. I can't say any more at present but I haven't been out and about taking photos because of this. So If you dont mind old photos till i'm well enough then I thankyou for staying with me. Otherwise please try to pop back now and again and please don't desert me. I look forward to all your visits and comments. Thankyou all for being so kind and keeping logged on to my blog.

Sunrise Sunset


Old pictures again until I get out as i'm still not feeling too good.
The first picture is of the Terris Novalis statues taken last year at sunrise.
The second image was a grab shot on my way home of a beautiful sunset taken near a small village called Medomsley near where I live.

The Photographer

One of the friends that come out with me on my photographic travels. She not a dslr user but I have to say she has got a good eye for a photograph. Her camera is a Sony DSC H9 that her husband bought her for Christmas a year ago. For all it's not a DSLR i have to say she's had some very impressive images taken with it. She's gonna kill me for putting this up.

Waterfall

This is a little waterfall down near the River Derwent.
Taken last year at dawn. We were hoping for a good sunrise that morning but unfortunately all we got was wind and cold.
