Strawberry tree (Arbutus unedo) – fruits and flowers, and a couple of late-autumn bees still pollinating. Native to the Mediterranean and Western Europe including Ireland, where it’s variously known as the Irish strawberry tree, cane apple or Killarney strawberry tree, it’s not related to the common strawberry plant and the fruit are rather pasty. Apparently they make quite good jam. Anyway, it’s an evergreen that adds colour and shape to our garden.

The first bloom on our new Camellia Sasanqua, a beautiful autumn- and winter-flowering variety to add some colour to the terrace.

Welcome to the revamped dgcPhoto site, complete with a new theme and a new look.

I’ve been rather busy with other things for a while, so I thought a makeover was more than overdue. I hope you like it.

In many ways, the site is the same as before except that with the new theme it’s easier to navigate and more efficient to load. And the layout is far cleaner.

I’m currently using two cameras: the truly excellent Canon 90D I bought several months ago that is streets ahead of any other camera I’ve owned over the years, and a Canon 100D that I’ve had for a couple of years — a really lightweight little workhorse. I am also using my iPhone SE far more than I expected. The latest OS makes it an incredibly versatile camera.

Keep checking out the galleries; the old ones have been reinstalled and new ones are being added.

What were the ‘other things’?

Check out ‘My Novels’ here or in the menu above where a couple of clicks will take you to the world of ClarkeFiction and details of my seven edge-of-the-seat thriller novels and my wife Gail’s wonderful fully illustrated children’s books.
