198/365 – The Scruffy Top

Having just got rid of the fair, Great Dunmow is now home to the Circus. After a busy day at work with no time to grab a shot I thought getting a shot of The Big Top would be just the thing, and throw in a bit of a sunset

195/365v2 The View From The Car Park

I started my new job today, which was a bit of a shock to the system after 3 months of “holiday”. I’ve parked in a lot of company car parks over the years, but I think this one takes the prize for “Best View” so far. Taken on arrival this

186/365v2 An Aluminium Tube

I popped up to the end of the Stansted Airport runway this afternoon to get some shots of the planes flying overhead. As an bit of a bonus I walked across to where there is a steep drop in the land and bumped into a couple of fallow deer –

179/365v2 Circle the Wagons

When I was a kid, the arrival of the fair was something of great excitement and anticipated for weeks…today…apparently, not so much. I wandered down to the fair in Dunmow this evening…the posters said it would be running until 10.00pm…I arrived around 9.00pm to find everything deserted and in the

The Butterflies of Rowney Wood

I take a lot of photographs every day, but rarely publish more than one or two. Indeed I have a lot of photographs that I haven’t even processed which seems a shame, so here’s, hopefully, the first of a few catch up posts. Yesterday we had a great walk around

177/365v2 The Centre of My Universe

We had our first walk in Rowney Woods this afternoon for the first time in 2 or 3 weeks…the growth is amazing. We went, amongst other things, to find some dragonflies to photograph, but they had all cleared off…leaving a whole host of butterflies and moths dashing about…but my favourite

173/365v2 Another Beautiful Evening at Doctors Pond

I took a stroll around Dunmow this evening – down to the church and then back around the recreation ground, but it was my Doctors Pond photo from right at the beginning of the walk that immediately caught my eye…it will be interesting how the other, later shots come out.

172/365v2 Crumbling Away

This is the old Gatehouse that gave access to Easton Lodge, the home of the Duchess of Warwick and later the USAF during the second world war. Quite why it is being allowed to completely fall apart is anyones guess.

159/365v2 Large Red Damselfly (Pyrrhosoma nymphula)

Another glorious day today found us walking around Rowney Wood near Saffron Walden. I deliberately only took my macro lens with me (instead of doing my usual and lugging about 5 lens around…and only using 1 of them!), well, it was a very warm 25°C. We saw many butterflies, moths,
