053/365v3 The Trees In The Wood

Continuing my occasional deliberate camera motion series we have this shot of some of trees in Rowney Woods, not a particularly original shot but enjoyable none the less. I couldn’t decide whether to publish this shot or the following shot as my shot of the day. I deliberately went for

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

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

Walking into Rowney Woods

This is right at the entrance to Rowney Woods proper before you come to the first Y junction when you have to make a decision. After a few visits where we haven’t seen any (mammal) wildlife in the woods we saw a large hare and a muntjac deer this week.

126/366 Oil Seed Rape at Rowney Woods

The weather slightly improved today – at least it was dry – and we took a walk around Rowney Woods. One thing all the rain we have been having has done is encourage a huge burst of growth in all the plant life. It was only a few weeks ago
