Hi Maria, This is an outstanding article from Northumbria and a credit to you. I thought the reflections and sunsets were beautiful along with the bird life and flowers. Bamburgh and Lindisfarne are fascinating and stunning. Thank you for making my day.

Well Maria, there is absolutely nothing that anyone can teach you about photography. Your pictures are breathtaking, perfect size, perfect angles. Everything just perfect. Cheers Terry.

Loved your excellent photos, thanks! Oddly enough, we have a good Chinese/Asian restaurant, here in Scottsdale, AZ, with a "dragon" made the same way as that wonderful horse!! It is so pretty when it sways in the "breezes"!! The dragon is symbolic of good luck & Long Life, in China, as you probably know!
