Evening Walk

 A short evening walk after some heavy rain.

Ice on the Fishponds

My trip out on Sunday had taken me down to the fishponds at Ightam. Thos time there was still a little bit of ice on the water and still some leaves around. Luckily the ice had not been broken, so I was able to get some interesting images.

Hosta leaves

I am acutely aware that I have let the blog slip over the past few months. There are many small reasons why I failed to produce some new images. Mostly I have moved in work and have found the learning curve steep but short, but because of this I have been rather tired. 


Anyway here are the first new images for  some time. Hopefully more to follow soon.

Ice on the fishponds

Had a run down to the fishponds today to do some images with ice. While I was there I found some tyre tracks with ice covered puddles. These gave some interesting images with air trapped beneath the ice.

Ice

It was a cold and frosty night last night. with about half an inch of ice on the water butt this morning.

January roundup

Well this month has been a very odd month. Very much a time of standing still. As you can see I have done very little photography over the past weeks, until that is, the past few days where a trip down to the area around Ashdown Forrest  provided some interesting opportunities for images.


This will the first part of the collection.

Bedgebury Pinetum

Had a trip down to Bedgebury Pinetum. An amazing place which has the largest collection of pine trees in the world. Sadly the weather did not oblige and the forecast sun was nowhere to be found. So more close ups were the order of the day 

Acer Leaves.

Leaf on Seat

Kew Red/Orange

These are a few of the images with a red  and orange palette.

Leaf Spiral

Today's image is from a few days ago. I knew I would be tight for time this weekend, so I kept this back to fill a space.

Saturday Offerings

The forecast was for sunny intervals. The forecast sometimes lies!

Leaf Abstracts

Still working of leaves  today. The sun did not come out so I had no chance to do any work on location.

So more work with the collection I have in my studio.

Maple Leaf

Again the colours caught my eye, the background is a granite bollard.
