Pine Trees at Dusk

I’m very fortunate in that my work allows me to travel all over the world (more recently, throughout the US) and see some amazing places. Over my next few blog posts, I want to share some of the images I took a few weeks ago when I spent some time in southern Georgia and had a free couple of days to explore the surrounding areas.

These first few images are of the pine trees at Stephen C. Foster State Park and the surrounding Okefenokee Swamp area at dusk. I was so surprised by the natural beauty of these swamps; they were completely different from any other place I’ve visited before. Keep your eyes peeled for much more over the coming weeks!

Sea Lions and Friends

Another highlight of La Jolla is the local colony of California sea lions, which bask among the crowds of (almost perfectly evenly spaced) cormorants. The easiest way to tell them apart from the Pacific harbor seals which also inhabit these shores is to look at their ears: sea lions have ear flaps, whereas seals have only holes with no pinnae. Additionally, while sea lions live in La Jolla’s beaches year-round, seals are only seen there in large numbers in the winter.

In this blog post, I share a few photos of these amazing pinnipeds, as well as some of the feathered friends they share their habitats with. Enjoy!

New Year, New Website

As some of you may have noticed, my website has been down for a couple of months. I just recently moved from the UK to New Zealand, where I am now undertaking a doctoral degree at the University of Auckland. Together with this huge change in my life, I have also decided it was time for a few major changes to my business, starting with my website.

I have modified and overhauled the design and flow of the website, and added brand new images from my most recent work. There are also more new interesting features coming up over the next year. As with my domain, I will also be changing my business cards to include my new domain at .com rather than .co.uk.

There will be new travel blog posts coming up soon in place of the old ones, which as usual I will be linking to from my facebook page. So far, travel plans for this year are mostly research-driven, but should be incredible nonetheless: I will be spending a couple of months in Christchurch, in the South Island of New Zealand, followed by a few more months in New Caledonia.

In the meantime, I hope you enjoy the brand new images and design on here! Let me know if you have any suggestions or comments as well.
