Personal Favourites

I like these photographs for many different reasons.  I'm not saying they are my best photographs but they remind me of different things that I have seen or experienced.  Perhaps a place I visited and loved along with family and friends. Or because nature presented something to me that I enjoyed and captured.   And sometimes I really don't know why I like them and that's fine too !  Still got lots more to add here so keep checking back !
