about this site

I live in Barnes, South West London, an area with lots of green spaces. Situated within a loop of the River Thames, there are also lots of wide views of water and sky.

It's great for someone like me who loves walking, and of course these days there's always a smartphone in my pocket, which means there's always a camera handy. So I take loads of photos, and as I work as a freelance website designer it seemed like a good idea to set up a website of my own to share some of these. And that's where we are now...

The concept of 'my own backyard' is used very loosely, to cover anywhere that matters to me. The blog includes things that catch my attention and seem worth sharing, from spiders to sunsets - and the odd random observation.
