At the end of July I on a sunny evening I visited  Peak 2010held in the grounds of Chatsworth, it’s an International Scout & Guide Camp which happens every 5 years,floods of memories came back when I was a Girl Guide .

My Family I involved in a Well Dressing Activity so they camp for a week. All the groups are divided into  Subcamps all of which have a special hand made entrance the theme this year was Biomes, What is a Biome you may ask, take a look at the Wikipedia definition by clinking on Biome. The Subcamps were: Amazon, Arctic, Barrier Reef, Everglades, Himalayes, Kazakh, Nile, Pacific, Sahara, Serengeti and Taiga. I captured a few whilst walking around and I had to take a photo of the blue and white bunting very tasteful!

A Blue Butterfly!!-This made me smile!

I have recently updated my website and you will notice that I have changed my homepage fairy to more of a pre-school style.(which I’ve tried to look like me )!

If you look closely to the wings of the fairy, they have proper butterfly textured wings. The texture has been taken from a picture of a Silver- studded Blue butterfly that my brother was able to capture in his hanging basket, this summer. I changed the colour of the texture, by using duo tones in Photoshop CS3

I hope you like the new Fairy-all comments and feedback very welcome!
