Winter walking

 A wonderful late winter/ early spring day walking in the Essex countryside between Pleshey and Great Waltham.

Down by the River

 Had a walk down to the river to see the aftermath of the high tides from earlier in the week. 

Pocahontas and St George's

 In town and had a little time to photograph the Pocahontas memorial.

Sunset panorama

 Up on the hill at the end of the day.

New lens

 I have just received delivery of a new lens. Designed for travelling light as its a 24mm-200mm zoom. 

Tried to see how good the Vibration Reduction was. 

Managed to get good results hand holding 200mm at 1/10 second. I was sitting down but still very impressive. 

below is the full shot and a blowup of the wall 

Still able to count the individual bricks on the wall.

Sunday Walking

 Another blustery day walking the fields and woods of Essex.
