After a successful first year and a widely acclaimed photographic exhibition, the British Wildlife Photography Awards have announced the launch of their second competition which is now open for entries. The awards will be presented in October 2010 and will then tour the UK. National Trust are once again delighted to be involved in the tour and the first of our places to host these awards will be Nunnington Hall in Yorkshire in November 2010.
Established to celebrate and highlight the great wealth and diversity of British natural history while at the same time recognising the talents of all photographers practising in the UK, BWPA are looking to build on recent successes and are introducing several new categories. This includes a special award for conservation photography and a category dedicated to British biodiversity and native species under threat, to reflect the fact that 2010 has been declared International Year of Biodiversity, by the United Nations.  Have just updated the panoramics section on the gallery pages, and am now moving on to put all the new India photo`s into a revised India section.. It`s only the end of January here in the UK, but already the signs of spring are popping up, are our seasons getting more and more out of sinc? I can see early bulbs starting to pop up? from were the snow was only a few days ago, lucky here on the south coast of the UK in that we normally get mild winters, but on my return from India this year it didn`t feel that mild, will we be seeing spring flowers early this year I wonder? So this in mind, thought a touch of summer heat would be nice, well UK summer warmth is the best we`ll get here I think again..
Can these images of Summer be so far off, oh for the return of the sun . . . I know it`s gonna end, I know it can`t last but just for once let me see the sunny side of life, I`m in a great job, please let it last for a couple of months.. Isn`t it odd, how in the little ladder we call life how we go up and down, some years seem to be full of down`s then one thing bump`s it up and we get months of highs? Odd how you remember the good old days, when they weren`t really all good, is it just we crave the days when mum use to make the tea, rent was a thing dad paid each week, and the worst thing you could think of was not getting the home work done? Do some people, like me, still expect to wake up and hope to be back in our youth? Do we all feel 18 till the day we die? who knows, I`ll let you know. So at the moment life is great, work is great, good food and good wine, but sadly I have no one to share it with, full time anyway, which is sad, but then, life moves on.. |
