The long shadow of the Law.

PC little was on duty outside the Museum of Liverpool.
He was not going to take any messing on his shift.   "If anyone starts it today, they will feel the long arm of the law on them", he was heard to say to a security member of staff.. No-one could even get close to the building.

Birdwatcher at Martin Mere

I shared the hide at Martin Mere WWT with this little guy. He was fascinated with the ducks and geese.

My emergency kit...

I always carry a few little people around with me in my camera bag. They are in a film canister and are protected by cotton wool. I find them invaluable sometimes. The selection changes usually depending on where I am going.

Dream Artist

Pablo wanted to paint the Jaume Plensa sculpture "The Dream" in St Helens. He went with all his paints and sat on a picnic table to make a piece of art.

This artwork is on the site of the old redundant Sutton Manor Colliery. It is modelled on a 9 year old girl with her eyes closed and is supposed to represent regeneration and beauty.
