283-365v4 Autumn’s Coming

We had a quick walk round Rowney Woods this morning, the first time we have been there for some time and were surprised how green it still is and how dry, considering the amount of rain we’ve had over the past months. We also stopped off at the new Garden

094-365v4 And Now for Something Completely Different

It’s been so nice to get out of the house and Dunmow to go for a walk in Rowney Woods. The last time we were here was Christmas Day and we’ve missed them. Spring is definitely here and there are plenty of buds everywhere. My eye was caught by the

Buzzard Fly Past

We had our weekend walk around Rowney Woods near Saffrom Walden and saw a couple of Buzzrads flying in the distance. Unusually, 1 of them left his usual area and gave us a fly past as he headed off to pastures new.

151/365v3 – Skulduggery

A rather macabre subject today. I didn’t set this up, someone had laced this twig through the deer skull so it was at about head height…I thought it created a particularly spooky subject. For those of you who would like to see something a bit more pleasant…

130/365v3 – Woodland Light.

Our regular visit to Rowney Woods was very pleasant in the very mild weather we are having at the moment. There was just a little bit of mist that hadn’t burnt off which gave the light a really nice softness. More pictures after the break

102/365v3 Bracken and Moss

Rowney Woods was looking really nice today in its late autumn, early winter colours. I really couldn’t pick which image to choose for today’s picture so you get four…The main shot is of an area the Forestry Commission usually cut back once the bracken is past its best, I’m glad

We popped out to Rowney Woods this morning for a walk. Whilst there were some pretty threatening clouds around the sun did periodically make an appearance as it did in this shot as we were leaving the woods, lighting up the young oak tree at the entrance.

067/365v3 Into The Woods

A quick stroll around Rowney Woods this morning before the weather closed in. This entrance into the woods doesn’t actually exist but I took one picture of this area as we arrived and then a second picture (including the people) as we left. I then combined the two in photoshop
