I think this is cute... (esp the A+ at the end)

Fishing weekend!!

This weekend I went fishing again... Yen-Ling and I went to Chalk Springs down south near a place called Arundale on Sat. In this lake, its possible to "stalk" trouts... Its super clear so we can see the fish in the water. The only thing is that the fish can also see us so we have to sneak up on it. I caught 2 rainbows at around 2lbs 7 oz each using this "stalking" method. Both on a gold headed bloodworm fly. The biggies weren't interested.. and probably more experienced. After fishing, we decided to stay in a bed and breakfast since it was getting late. Stayed in this nice cottage with this very friendly couple called Jane and David. Had a nice dinner at a local pub and everything was really nice and relaxing before my obnoxious client started emailing asking us to "sort things out"... My bb ran out of juice so I really couldn't do anything but worry.

The next day (today), we took our first "English countryside walk"!!! been wanting to do that for ages but the weather didn't cooperate everytime. This time we had beautiful weather... nice and sunny and we were walking at the Southdowns. We must have walked for miles (maybe 4-5 though YL might say its much less). We happily walked through a sheep's pen (YL was so excited... until we realised that the pen was literally filled with sheep poo). After the walk, we took a drive along the country (blasting my bob marley...) back to London.

Now we're back in London... went back to the office for a couple of hours to "sort things out"... can't believe how much we did today...

Pics to follow...

Some shots over the weekend...

My new camera!

Yesterday I bought my DSLR... A Nikon D80 and a 18-200mm lens. Since we'll be going on a scenic cruise in Norway in less than 2 months time, I thought I should get a more sophisticated camera and at least figure out how it works.

So I've been messing about with my new camera this whole weekend, dragging Yen-Ling with me everywhere to take photos... One thing I need to seriously consider quickly is to get a discrete camera bag; its been kind of awkward walking around London with a big camera, everyone looks at me like I'm a tourist...

Today I start my own blog... I intend to get a new digital SLR camera and I thought what better way to share my pictures than to post it on my own personal blog... and as I've loved fishing so much, I thought it was appropriate that my blog be called http://ilovefishing.blogspot.com/ (only that its already taken by some bloke called Nicholas in 2005), so instead my blog will be called http://ireallylovefishing.blogspot.com/.

So there, this is the beginning of my own photo blog, which will contain both photos and fishing, and fishing photos, http://ireallylovefishing.com/
