You take the most beautiful photos. Seriously.

Thank you :)

This one was fun - the kids built a snowman and he was too good not to snap, but the swing and climbing frame in the background didn't really do him justice so I transplanted him to a French Alpine ski resort (Les Arcs, if I remember rightly) and he looked much happier!

I have really been enjoying your photos!

What kind of camera do you have?

It's a Canon EOS 400D (I think it's called the Digital Rebel in the US). It was the best we could afford at the time, and we tossed up between a Canon and the equivalent Nikon - the Canon won because I have quite small hands, and it 'sat' better in the hand for me. All my lenses are either kit or relatively cheap ones, because we bought the camera etc when I wasn't working.

Once I've taken the photos I post-process in Photoshop; you can't make a bad photo into a good one with Photoshop, but the right crop and some careful dodging and burning can sometimes get a photo from almost-there to there, if you get what I mean.

Lovely! He looks like he's feeling very chipper about having managed to escape his original setting! :)

I think I'd prefer the French Alps to my back garden as well!
