207-365v4 That tree, but with leaves

Yes, it’s that tree again, but I haven’t shared a picture of it for nearly 3 months, becasue it doesn’t look very good with leaves on it! The beauty of this tree are all the capillary like branches it has reaching to the sky – the leaves hide that too

204-365v4 The Sheep are Here

My usual route on my morning walk and this scene had the addition of a large flock of sheep who have joined the usual bullocks that call this meadow home…along with a pair of grey heron the medow is starting to get quite crowded. Of course, there’s my favourite tree

202-365v4 Roadside Poppies

I’m no expert, but I always thought the poppy season was quite short, however we are still getting new growth on the roadside on Bigods Lane in Great Dunmow. I wanted to show these poppies in context with their surroundings, a full colour version of the image meant the poppies

198-365v4 Centre of Attention

We’ve had the second batch of ducklings appear over the last week or so (you can see a whole barrel load here). So here’s one of the new batch – there is now an awful load of waterfowl on Doctors Pond now, and the Mallard Ducks, Canadian Geese and Moorhens

197-365v4 The Toy Box

I walk past this Toy Shop on my walk in the morning and I’ve photographed it a lot, but mainly on film, in the past. Today I had my macro lens on the camera and I got this shot, which is by far my favourite of all the shots I’ve

195-365v4 Wheat Field

I’m glad to say I didn’t see any wierd politicians running through this field this morning 😉 I colour corrected this image but then reverted back to the out of camera cooler colours that my camera decided were what we saw because I actually prefer this version.

Sky Replacement Day

176-365v4 Sky Replacement Day

This mornings walk was accompanied by flat grey skies and a fairly steady drizzle. It was pretty miserable and the sky tends to be a pretty important part of any landscapes. I took a few shots as basically an insurance policy so I had something in the bank for the

175-365v4 Roadside Poppies

We always get poppies growing on the roadside on Bigods Lane. I wasn’t sure we would see them this year as the farmer has been cutting the grass verges regularly. Not only that, but one area where they usually grow had been turned into an emergency path during some flooding

172-365v4 Clayton House

The second (you can see the first here) shot from/of the High Street in Great Dunmow. I’ve taken occasional shots of the High Street over the years, but thought it might be a good side project to photograph all the shops etc along the High Street. It would be easy

161-365v4 -Just The Butchers

It’s nice that we still have 2 really good Butchers in Great Dunmow, this is one of them. When this was H. Stokes the butchery included the whole building including what is now Dunmow Blinds. With the reduction in trade caused by the supermarkets the butchers shop was reduced considerably.
