066-365v4 Duck Patrol at Dunmow Pond

The ducks are pairing up on Doctors Pond for the mating season. This is the only time they come visiting in our garden as they look for somewhere to lay their eggs. We always get losts of visitors, but they never stay…probably just as well as we still haven’t rid

062-365v4 A Bumper Day of Photographs!

After struggling for an image yesterday, I’ve got them coming out of my ears today…this is what often happens when doing a 365 project. The featured image today is one of our regular squirrel’s who visits daily. This is the bigger of the two and he has discovered that if

055-365v4 Cirrus Over Dunmow

I’m no cloud expert, but I think these are Cirrus clouds and they were looking pretty interesting on my early morning walk today. As with many photographers, I collect pictures of the sky for use in photoshop, particularly useful with photoshops new Replace Sky feature which i use periodically and

053-365v4 A 10% Chance

There is a 10% chance (actually 9.26%, but forgive my artistic licence) that a picture of this tree will appear in a random search of this current 365 project. It’s the 5th time I have chosen a picture including it. It’s the best tree on my morning walk, but today

050/365v4 Spring peaks over winter’s sill

On my morning walk it really felt like spring was just around the corner. It helps that my walk now starts at sunrise rather than stepping out into the dark and the temperature has improved hugely over last week. You can see in today’s image of my favourite local tree

036-365v4 Reflected Boughs

I very nearly posted a very similar picture to last Friday’s today (see below). We had a reasonably nice sunrise this morning, although I had already gone past (and photographed) my normal tree before the colours came out, so I followed my own advise, opened photoshop and did a sky

034-365v4 Out the Bathroom Window

I dashed upstairs when I noticed a rather nice sunset going on (I was working at the time) and shot this image of the Doctors Pond area of Great Dunmow, which was just as well as I’ve had no time to do the image I wanted to do – I

Five Tree Walk

I do the same walk in the morning three times a week (and during lockdown I often do it for a 4th time at the weekend). My wife is often surprised that I don’t get bored of it and, strangely, I don’t. It’s a 5km distance from door back to

019-365v4 The Garden Comes Up Trumps Again

Stuck in with work all day again, I was able to get some nice shots of some of our visitors to the garden today including 2 squirells, ratty and a blue tit. We had plenty of other visitors but these are the ones that were prepared to have their photographs

018/365v4 From Couch to a Coronary

Back at the start of the year one of my resolutions was to get fit and a facebook friend had mentioned how good he had found the NHS Couch to 5k program to be. This sounded like a good idea, I mean, it was being pushed by the NHS so
