Welcome to JillBatchelor.comI have wanted to be able to have my own website for a long while and finally took the plunge in 2008. With many thousands of photographs going back several years I wanted to share them with a wider audience and hence the website was born. You will find lots of images in my gallery and I write about my photography days out in my journal. I have tried hard to strike a balance between creating a useful resource for photographers, nature lovers and those who simply enjoy looking at beautiful images. In my quest to improve my photography skills I’ve learnt a few tricks along the way and include a few of these in my journal entries.
I hope you enjoy your visits and return to see what I get up to. Jill

 A planned trip on the replica Kalmar Nickel tall ship didn't quite turn out as expected but was still a very enjoyable time. The following morning I just had time before heading back to Britain to visit the Delaware Art Museum to check out what treasures they had there.

 A visit to to the Colonial town of New Castle was like stepping back in time. Here I learnt how the state of Deleware was created when it seperated from Great Britain and Pennslyvania. A period of history I previously knew nothing about New Castle is well worth a visit and I really enjoyed my day there.

 When I discovered there was a place called Winterthur close to Wilmington I knew I just had to visit there. The reason being of course it’s the also the name of the city in Switzerland where our eldest son James and daughter-in-law Olivia live and we had only visited recently

 Our second day in America's capitol city saw us visiting the National Air and Space Museum and National Museum of the American Indian two of the most interesting museums I've ever visited with just so much to see and take in.

 The first day of a highly enjoyable visit to Washington DC had us visiting as many of the must see places as we could fit in. We didn't waste a single minute of our sightseeing day and loved playing tourists for the day.

 Even before I arrived in America I had read up about Longwood Gardens, which I’d seen described as the world’s premier horticultural showplace, just the kind of place I would enjoy visiting and I wasn't wrong.

 Mid-June and we find ourselves in Wilmington, Delaware as the company Nigel works for has their head office there. I accompanied him and as it was my first visit to the United States I was really keen to get out and about, meet some local people and visit some local tourist attractions too
