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
 Each spring is different and this year is certainly no exception. After another seemingly long winter with very low temperatures and for us here in the south east very little in the way of sunshine I would always try to get out with my camera if the weather was favourable. East Blean Wood is a place that never disappoints for a walk at anytime of the year, but especially as new life begins to stir, and over the course of late winter into spring I made several visits. |

 A linear walk today with fellwalking friend David Hall taking in some new fells for us. Shame that part of the walk was in the clouds but it was a really enjoyable walk with excellent company.

 A fantastic day on the fells where the conditions were just too good not to change plans part way through the walk and make the most of the day.

 With a forecast of improving weather we decide on a walk from Troutbeck using the Garburn Road visiting Sour Howes and Sallows. We're pleased to say the weather did improve and we enjoyed our walk on these two lower fells.

 Seathwaite Fell is one of those fells I have long wanted to visit, I think because of its situation, surrounded by lots of higher fells. Todays 7 mile route took us up the front of the Fell after first visiting Taylorgill Force.
