The River Stour, Dedham
2014 - 365 Project

254/365v2 The River Stour, Dedham

Popped out at lunchtime to Dedham, just inside Essex, but right on the Suffolk border. I made it as far as the first car park and saw just a tiny portion of the village. It looks a lovely place…even in the dreary misty grey light that we had all day

250/365v2 Creeping Ivy

A quick walk around Rowney Woods unusually didn’t deliver many pictures, but this ivy looked pretty as it slowly crawled up this tree trunk.

238/365v2 A Blowy Hatfield Forest Lake

A small group of hardy Bishop Stortford Camera Club members braved the inclement weather and visited Hatfield Forest for the last of the summer programme get togethers. It was cool and pretty blowy…but the clouds did eventually start to break up for the first time of the day.

236/365v2 Mini Me

No idea what sort of flower this is…I assume some sot of daisy…but who knows. Found in Rowney Woods this afternoon.

215/365v2 Dragonfly Day

I have never seen so many dragonflies in Rowney Woods as I saw today…literally hundreds of hawkers flying around, particularly over the fields of barley near the entrance to the woods. The hawkers were far too busy to settle so I had to content myself with this female Common Darter

195/365v2 The View From The Car Park

I started my new job today, which was a bit of a shock to the system after 3 months of “holiday”. I’ve parked in a lot of company car parks over the years, but I think this one takes the prize for “Best View” so far. Taken on arrival this

The Butterflies of Rowney Wood

I take a lot of photographs every day, but rarely publish more than one or two. Indeed I have a lot of photographs that I haven’t even processed which seems a shame, so here’s, hopefully, the first of a few catch up posts. Yesterday we had a great walk around

177/365v2 The Centre of My Universe

We had our first walk in Rowney Woods this afternoon for the first time in 2 or 3 weeks…the growth is amazing. We went, amongst other things, to find some dragonflies to photograph, but they had all cleared off…leaving a whole host of butterflies and moths dashing about…but my favourite
