We spent a few days in France last week to celebrate my Father-in-Law’s 70th birthday. I fell head over heals in love with the Dordogne. We stayed in a lovely and spacious gite called Le Peyrat in Saint Martin de Guscon about an hour away from Bergerac. We even had a French chef cook two nights for us and the food was just… so amazingly delicious

More photos here. I took the photo above on the Grand Etang de la Jamaye lake.

We had a fantastic time in Portugal. The highlight was going to see wild dolphins and we were very lucky to see over 40 of these graceful creatures hunting. More in my Flickr stream.

I’ve been busy at work and having lots of fun with my iPad and iPhone 4 as well.

The screen on the iPhone 4 is just absolutely, incredibly, indescribably beautiful. It’s compulsive viewing, well once you change the horrible default water drops wallpaper! I tried lots of minimalist graphics and wasn’t satisfied until I settled on The Grid.

Nice, no? The image above is 50% of the actual iPhone 4 resolution. Click on it to see the graphics at 100%.

For my iPad I’ve been cycling through a lot of wallpaper from 50ft shadows. Currently here are my lock and home screens.

As for my iMac I set my Desktop preferences to choose at random some of my favourites from 50ft shadows including this one.

Enjoy!

My good friend Tim suggested we take the kids and their bikes down to the River Lee this afternoon. I had my camera with me and managed to take a few photos. Spring has finally arrived. More photos here.

Meet our new neighbour. She spent 15 minutes or so looking around over the garden wall. More photos here.

Stunning timelapse video of New York. All the tilt-shift/depth of field effects were created in post using Frischluft Lenscare, a plug-in I must have.

The Big Picture does it again. Stunning photography of the journey of the Olympic Torch from Greece to Vancouver for the Winter Olympics. That site is going to become my home page.

Vibrant red chillis taken this afternoon in our kitchen. There are a few more photos on my Flickr stream.

Have a good bank holiday everyone!
