What is cuter than a meerkat?

This group of photographs were taken during a recent visit to an Owl Sanctuary

It was little wonder that the creatures were on permanent alert as birds of prey are flown at the centre each day.

Maybe your dad prefers diesel.

Just to add to the collection of photos that could be used as a Fathers' day or birthday card for a train enthusiast is this photo of a diesel train.

The train should have been pulled by a steam engine as it was due to attend York Railfest but the steam engine broke down.

Fathers Day card - Scripps Garage

THis card was based on photos taken at Goathland in North Yorkshire. Goathland was the village used as Aidensfield in the TV series Heartbeat.

The front of the card is a shot of Scripps' garage and the inside photo is of one of the Ford Angla cars used as police cars in the series.

The greetings at the front of the card can all be removed and your own greeting added so you can use the designs for any occasion. Some greetings would also suit a birthday card for your dad.

Fathers' Day card for a gardener

These two cards were designed using photos that I took At Ryton organic garden and Benningborough Hall. The front and back photos were taken in the ornamental vegetable garden in 2004 so no doubt the garden has undergone many changes since then.  

The inside photo of the ancient lawn mowers was taken at Benningborough.

The greetings at the front of the card can all be removed and your own greeting added so you can use the designs for any occasion. Some greetings would also suit a birthday card for your dad.

Fathers' Day Cards for the steam enthusiast

If your dad is 'into' steam, then here are a couple of cards that he may enjoy.The greetings at the front of the card can all be removed and your own greeting added so you can use the designs for any occasion. Some greetings would also suit a birthday card for your dad.

The first is based on a photo taken at Goathland station in North Yorkshire. Goathland was the location for the TV series Heartbeat and so also doubles as Aidensfield.

The second photo was one that I found in my husband's photo collection and was taken of a traction engine at a steam rally in 1969. It wasn't actually a sepia photo but the addition of a sepia tuint seemed appropriate.
