139/365v2 Sing for your Supper

This is just one of the myriad of birds around Doctors Pond in Great Dunmow this afternoon. It was a glorious afternoon and I decided to go and sit, with my camera, by the pond and see what was about to photograph. I certainly wasn’t disappointed, ducks, geese, wagtails, doves,

125/365v2 Rickling Green

If you look back far enough you’ll find a similar picture to this back in my archives…except there was no oil seed rape in the previous version. Captured today on a walk through Rickling Green and the Quendon Estate in Essex.

Bluebells at Tilty

120/365v2 Bluebells at Tilty

A quick run out to Tilty this afternoon bagged this bluebells shot, along with some (far away) deer sightings. The waterfall shot I wanted to take was impossible due to a fallen tree…which I thought was a reasonable excuse to move on… Here are a couple of the deer shots…

117/365v2 Finchingfield

Probably the prettiest of all the Essex villages Finchingfield is a short drive from Dunmow and I popped up or a quick 30 minute visit late afternoon today. The intention was to do some long exposures but the clouds weren’t playing ball and, just to the right are some really

115/365v2 April Showers

The weather has been…changeable the last few days and the next few days look as though they will continue this pattern. So, when in doubt, I nip out to Doctors Pond for the daily photo…the sky tells you all you need to know 😉

109/365v2 The Mooring

I visited the old church at Chickney this afternoon and took some long exposure shots as the clouds were nipping by at a good pace…I wasn’t satisfied with the pictures I was getting so popped inside and shot that for a while. Thing is, I’ve photographed this church a few

107/365v2 Rowney Woods in Black and White

It was a rather grey and dull day in essex, but we spent an hour or so walking around Rowney woods this afternoon. The sky was quite uninteresting but using some HDR techniques defined the clouds rather more and I quite like the repetition of shapes between the sky line

The bluebells are well and truly out in Essex now. These were taken in a small wooded area around Quendon this afternoon. A few more picks after the break…

098/365v2 Jemima Puddle-Duck

I know, she’s missing her bonnet 😉 This female mallard duck was being pestered up and down Doctors Pond in Great Dunmow by various male mallards – she was definitely centre of attention.

St Boltolphs Church and surrounding Landscape
2014 - 365 Project

096/365v2 St Boltolphs Church & Landscape

This is a very photographic church, especially when you take in all its surrounding landscape. The stormy clouds of this afternoon certainly helped give a mood to the image. The church is in Beauchamp Roding which has a population of just 180 people so no surprise that that share their
