047/365v2 The Silver Birch

The wind dropped and the sun made a rare appearance so we dashed out to take a walk around Rowney Woods this morning. When we arrived it was a completely featureless blue sky…nice after what we have had recently, but not great for interesting photographs. Fortunately some clouds had started

005/365v2 A Wet Winter in Rowney

It’s a sod is Facebook – you’re all ready to add a post to your blog and all hell kicks off…(you get into a long winded conversation about what is right and wrong in journalistic photography…it’s a minefield I tell you!) Today we have just about the only decent shot

48/52 Autumn Takeover

A visit to Rowney Woods for a quick march round between heavy rain showers delivered the following shot. Ordinarily you look to have pretty much everything in focus in a landscape shot, but today I wanted all the attention to be on the gate and all the brambles surrounding it

24/52 Look Out, It’s The Mob

I love this picture, OK? Mooching around Rowney Woods the wife and I came across this band of hoodlums waiting to set upon any unwary walkers, they certainly spotted us. I particularly like the male in the middle – he has such a great expression on his face…wonder if I

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
