15/52 Step into Spring

Spring finally arrived yesterday and we took a walk around Rowney Woods. Amazingly we saw 3 different types of butterfly – they will have been struggling to find any flowers, with the exception of a few straggly primroses there really wasn’t much for them to go at. I forced myself

Can't See The Wood for the Trees

365/366 You can’t see the wood for the trees

We had a day off from the rain so visited Rowney Woods for a stroll. I thought I’d try something different today. Normally when I look at the back of the camera and see a picture I like Iget it home and it’s rubbish. Today I looked at this shot

358/366 Tree Reflection

We haven’t been out to Rowney Woods for ages so nipped out this afternoon before the rain returns again tomorrow. The woods were very wet and very grey so a black and white photograph was always going to be the order of the day, and so adding a reflection in

266/366 The Edge of Rowney Woods

The forecast said Saturday was going to be the dry day of the weekend so we set off for a walk around Rowney Woods in the hope that we may see some deer as we head into the rutting season. The woods were unusually quiet, no people and no deer,

245/366 In Tandem

Walking through Rowney Woods today we were passed by these two gentlemen on their tandem bike. They got a fair old shift on as they completed the circuit around Rowney Woods very quickly.

Southern Hawker (Aeshna cyanea)

Spotted this fella in Rowney Woods – dragonflies may be bigger than damselflies, and you would have thought they would be easier to photograph – you have to be lucky to get one resting like this – normally they are permanently in motion patrolling their area, damselflies must get tired
