I hope you will be richly rewarded in terms of wildlife. We have moved from South Wales and are much enjoying the 'Avocets of the east'!

We have a trip booked to the Isle Of May in the Firth of Forth later this year - looking forward to it immensely.Davidhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04881509432705597309noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4489244535777995519.post-242355182567936382011-01-18T14:12:44.381+00:002011-01-18T14:12:44.381+00:00David, I will see if I can discover any more about...David, I will see if I can discover any more about the Lulu options. I had nothing to do with the production side. The Top Ten poems in the 'Spring Fever' contest were anthologised, which is why my poem is in the collection. <br /><br />As for the Puffins, well, the first time we visited the Yorkshire cliffs (May) there was hardly a Puffin to be seen, whereas the following year when reluctantly we could only go during an Easter break, we were rewarded with a terrific show! I guess that's the way it is with bird watching . . . you never can tell with wild creatures! <br /><br />As for focal length, I have no idea. I take photos by 'instinct'. Technicalities and me do not go together! I used a Lumix 18 zoom.Caroline Gillhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05203454486693014969noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4489244535777995519.post-76557628539246651372011-01-16T21:13:30.926+00:002011-01-16T21:13:30.926+00:00Actually Caroline, in the end I didn't complet...Actually Caroline, in the end I didn't complete the purchase because I noticed this statement on the Lulu site - and I don't like the idea of it.<br /><br />"To expedite future orders, Lulu will save your payment information."<br /><br />What do you think? There is no option to have Lulu 'not' save the information.Davidhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04881509432705597309noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4489244535777995519.post-25996323079941713892011-01-16T21:02:20.874+00:002011-01-16T21:02:20.874+00:00Hi Caroline,
