More images should follow by clicking here. The boat in the foreground is the sailing ship Svanhild built in 1889 in Norway and on its way to participate in the Tall Ships Race which sets out from Liverpool. It is on its way v to the West Coast of Scotland via Loch Ness and the Caledonian Canal. I want to capture it as it passes Urquhart Castle beside Loch Ness.

I was so lucky to see this sailing ship,Svanhild coming under the Kessock Bridge today on its way from Norway to Liverpool, via the Caledonian Canal and Loch Ness, where the Tall Ships Race starts later this year. I took over 150 shots of this boat and its photogenic crew as it came from the Beauly Firth to Muirtown Marina where it is now tied up for the night.

Visited "BUGS" at Regent's Park Zoo today.

Saw these tiny red ants in action.

These beautiful little jewel wasps look like they are metallic, but they are real. If you want to know about their dark side visit http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ampulex_compressa

Strangely and slightly inexplicably fish are included in the exhibition.

These are babies

And this appears to be a kind of clown fish, but I am more used to the orange "Nemo" type, never seen this kind before.

Taken an hour ago.........
