I am thinking of doing it again but unsure whether to go Standard or First Class. If my memory serves me correctly I did 3814 miles (I know it was the upper 3 thousand). My travelling habits are different now as I tend to visit and stay but I am still trying to convince myself to do it again. If I do, do you want me to submit a detailed account?

It is a beautiful bird.

I read your blog every day, so it's nice to see you found mine! I've not been down to the Shipley Focus'd gallery recently, so I should get myself down there, it seems interesting.

I have never yet managed a shot of a swan that I'm happy with. Have you seen the amazing exhibition in the Shipley Focus'd Gallery in Shipley's market square, documenting this swan family through 2010? It opened on March 16 2011 and I think is still on. Well worth a look. Just looking for info on swans and came across this – a lovely portrait. I have never yet managed a shot of a swan that I’m happy with.

It spoils the picture a little. But I still like it! I think I have the white balance too far into the pinks. It spoils the picture a little. But I still like it!

The colours are so wonderful, neither of us has ever seen one of these before [ it quite brightened the day.
