It has been a while since I posted. Many reasons for that, but there is now a pile of images in the in-tray. Here’s the first. Kamala beach on 10 June in the early morning with a rapidly advancing storm – it’s the monsoon season here in Phuket.

This carpenter bee spent several hours buzzing around the stand of bamboo outside our front door returning many times to improve on a neat hole he was making in a main stem. These bees are totally harmless but get bad press as a result of the damage they do to wood.
We get many in the garden in Italy as well where they are great if clumsy pollinators — their navigation system doesn’t seem to be the best in that they often fly straight into things, like people. I’ll put a set of these shots in the gallery.

Fabulous full moon dropping behind the trees beyond our apartment at 05:35 on 8 April, just fours hours away from being completely full.

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.
