I am not one usually to blow my own trumpet, but today the local newspaper printed one of my photos along with a report regarding the spoonbills that visited the area recently, and I am so over the moon I just wanted to share :-)
When I sent the photo in I was sending it for consideration for a feature called ' readers photos' which is usually just the photo ~ for the past 2 days I have had reporters and senior reporter trying to contact me for more info ~ I didn't realise they were going to write a piece too ...
My dad tells me everyday when he sees my photos "this is an Argus job, send it to them" ~ I have sent some but never get them included ... so this is for my Dad [long may he stop nagging me to send them in now :D]
@nadaa@simon0128@cameraholic@wind_of_the_sothern_sea@cazann thank you all so much ~ had a friend of mine on Fb not tipped me off that they were there I would never of known about these birds or that they were rare in our area ~ power of social media :-)
@byrdlip@huvesaker@kwiksilver@hollandcrew thank you so much ~ I think I am more pleased for my dad [ he is elderly and disabled and whilst his brain and soul are still perfect his body is failing ~ I am so glad he got to see one in the paper :D]
@gailmmeek thank you ~~ reporter rang me yesterday and asked me lots of questions ~ I didn't realise it was for an actual article ~ I thought it was just for readers photo LOL
thank you all so much for your comments ~ I am still over the moon ~ I have had it printed and framed and will give to dad as a present tomorrow for fathers day ~ what timing :-)
@gwhit123 Have had it printed [finally ~ Asda refused to do do it because of copyright LOL ~ said i would have to contact the paper for rights ... ha ha ~ i printed it myself in the end and put it in a frame myself ~~ not quite as large as the one you recieved :-) ~ showed dad that and he laughed :D]
