Creeping Ivy

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.

Film Noir Wheat and a Tree

199/365v2 Film Noir Wheat and a Tree

This wasn’t the shot I wanted today – I found a great folly that I photographed, but because of the season (leaves, leaves and more leaves) I couldn’t get the angle to show you it was a folly. Never mind, just up the road was this field with the lonely

158/365v2 Tree over the Chelmer

After a very poor start to the day weather wise, with thunderstorms and torrential rain, this afternoon cleared up and we had beautiful sunshine. I took a stroll across the Recreation Ground in Great Dunmow down to the River Chelmer where I scrambled up and down the banks to get

092/365v2 Bursting Into Bloom

More flowers are coming into bloom in the garden. This is the third camellia flower that has appeared on our new camellia tree, this is the first that hasn’t bloomed on the opposite side of the plant, up against the wall…what attraction the wall has for these flowers I don’t

The Start of Spring
2014 - 365 Project

081/365v2 The Start of Spring

It was so nice to get out of the house, if only for a couple of hours this afternoon for the sole purpose of photography. I drove across to the far side of Bishops Stortford, towards Little Hadham and took a gentle stroll around a bridleway through Cradle End picking

Silver Birch

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

012/365v2 Looking Up

You’re always told, in the books and on web sites, to always look behind you as a photographer – I’ve often found some really nice pictures by doing this. Recently I’ve been looking up a lot more as well and have had similar success. We visited a new (to us…it

An Essex Sunset at Aythorpe Roding
2014 - 365 Project

011/365v2 An Essex Sunset

At last, a dry day, let me confirm though – trudging around the local fields and footpaths is a muddy experience at the moment but I was so happy to be out and about this afternoon. I visited the windmill at Aythorpe Roding, but, this time, the windmill doesn’t feature

Tree Reflection

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

Autumn Fall
2012 - 366 Project

316/366 Autumn Fall

We took a walk around the countryside immediately around Stansted Mountfitchet this afternoon. For those of you who don’t know, this is the town that gives Stansted Airport (London’s 3rd airport) its name. Strangely, we didn’t notice hearing any planes at all during our 2 hour walk, but we could
