I started volunteering at Plymouth Aquarium this week which is just fab! I get to help the visitors identif the animals, do talks and hopefully work with the husbandry side of things too.

I'm also changing jobs, I've been offered a promotion to bar supervisor elsewhere which is daunting but really fab. I can finally work normal (ish) hours and save up some money.

Had an annoying DA week this week as some of my deviations were moved. I believe that they were in the right catagory but others disagree. The images were of dartmoor ponies and were moved from wild to domesticated. I don't understand this beause they are actualy feral animals, which by definition means returned to a wild state. They are not domesticated in any way, you can't approach them, they are not ridden or handled either. Once a year they are collected up to check on numbers, but this is for a conservation purpose. Just because an animal has domesticated ancestry, doesn't mean that it itself is domesticated. These ponies live in some of the harshest, wild conditions.

Okay, rant over!
On a happier note, I'm enjoying my photography again and have had a go making some panos for the first time. I also plan to have a go with *InsaneGelflings camera this week and take some macro shots of tilly in all her glory.






My images are not stock. I am happy for my images to be used as reference for use on Deviant Art. They are NOT for use outside of DA, or for manipulations. Please credit me if you do use them, and of course let me know as I am always interested to see what people have done.
