Had a lot of trouble motivating myself over the weekend, but on Saturday I managed to get an early start to see if I could manage some Kingfisher images, I am tending to get by day by day and not planning anything at the moment....
One of the nice things about this unsettled weather is that the lighting changes almost constantly, here a shaft of golden sunlight broke through the clouds to light the bird and perch, the bg is the grey sky reflected of the water.....
Glad to see you are getting out, it is had to drag yourself out some days i know and sometimes even harder to return home with a great image that you would usually share, i miss my rosie giving me great encouragement on my mediocre shots and found myself losing the motivation to get out and take shots, however sharing with the people on sites like this can make all the difference and i for one always look forward to clicking on a uknp post when i know its one of yours.
Regards
Brian

hi, it looks like u broke kev's curse. I was considering going down on sat as well actually but decided to go for the wetland centre instead as i was feeling a bit lazy. Just my luck. Oh well, will try perhaps this weekend if the weather holds up. Good one there
Agree with Brian that we are allways happy to see one of your shots and this one is no exception!
A great Kingfisher shot wich i have yet to make in this high quality!
Wish you all the best, and i think i speak for most of us when i say our thoughts are still going out to you!
Just to quickly thank you all for your kind Comments, greatly appreciated at this time. Hopefully sooner rather than later I can start to get myself properly organised and pick up things from where I had to leave them, although most projects that I had planned will now have to wait till next year.

Lovely shot
Judging from this Summer's current weather conditions I think the only things finding maximum motivation to get out and about are the ducks

Cracking image - if you need any motivation next weekend, just turn on your PC and take a look at what you did last week-end!
