Great to see you back posting some quality shots.

It's been a horrible couple of months but all you can do is try to stay strong.

Stay strong and stay focused Doug. Nice set of shots as always. While you have been producing those, Slogen has been busy in that forest at Lakenheath again. Lol.
I always enjoy seeing what has been passing through Prestwick.

All the best
