Robin at Harlow Carr
Spent a great morning at the wonderful RHS Harlow Carr gardens, Harrogate, on 2 October. This little fellow popped up for a photo shoot, giving me about ten seconds of his valuable time. There will be more shots from the gardens of the course of the next couple of weeks.

After the rain …
Heavy rain on Wednesday evening, mist rising in the valley the following morning: a white rose covered in water droplets catching the rising sun. Bellissima!

Thistledown
Thistledown (pappo del cardo), from an intruder to our garden that appears so often that it’s more like an old friend.

Santa Maria della Pieve
A view of the apse in the early evening of this eight-hundred-year-old church in the centre of Arezzo. The apse backs onto the Piazza Grande, site of the twice-yearly Giostra (jousting) festival. This shot was taken during the recent Arezzo Back in Time festival, an extravaganza of Roman, Medieval and Renaissance events.

Monterchi concert
At the recent concert of Neapolitan songs we went to in Monterchi given by Vittorio Perla (see shot of a few days ago), this young lady, who I think was a granddaughter, entertained the crowd with her friend with a few dance moves.

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.
