The sun made a rare appearance this morning…but as the morning progressed more and more cloud appeared so, fearing the worst, I popped out at lunchtime and drove down to Rye Meads Nature Reserve just the other side of Roydon. It’s a funny place positioned as it is bang in
Our regular walk through Rowney Woods included a quick walk around this field – just 2 weeks ago this was bright yellow, now the rape flowers have all been replaced by the pods that, I presume, are what the farmer will eventually harvest.
The Bishops Stortford Camera Club gathered at the Three Horse Shoes at Spellbrook for a bit of bring your camera manual self-help training. Despite spending most of the night chatting about all sorts of non-camera related things I still came away having learnt how to set the white balance on

I returned to the scene of my recent soaking today, the weather was substantially better and I was to spend a happy hour marching up and down the Stort Navigation in my lunch hour. This picture is of an arable field patrolled by some headless scarecrows…apparently the Canada Geese aren’t
