Scenes seen on a walk - 25.4.26
It was a nice afternoon yesterday. There were other places we could have been but, we opted for a walk through the fields up to Meadow Wood and back. Followed by a pint of cider at our favourite riverside pub:)

Low light, winter moods…
It was one of those afternoons where, when the sun was out and I was in amongst the trees, the light conditions were perfect for capturing the feel and mood of a woodland in the winter. That was adequate compensation for feeling the cold, despite being wrapped up in layers of clothing:)

The long, dark path…
One with some hazards in the form of falling but not yet fallen trees and branches to duck under and navigate. If that's not a metaphor for life, I don't know what is!

The old oak in glorious black and white:)
I've started a project of photographing this old oak tree throughout the year. The aim is to document how the way it looks changes with the passage of the seasons and also, the varying weather conditions. How the finished project will be presented is something I've yet to decide. Suffice to say that with the damp, overcast conditions prevailing yesterday, there wasn't a lot of colour about on occasions. That's why these images have been rendered in glorious black and white:)

Bare branches on the cusp of summer
There I was on a beautiful summer day, walking along the banks of the Avon just two days before the start of June, and I was photographing dead trees and bare branches. I do wonder about myself at times. The only tentative conclusion I can come to regarding this choice of subject matter is that this is me semi-consciously trying to resolve a few issues…

Out of my comfort zone…
I don't normally do flower shots but, walking through the woods yesterday the conditions were perfect so, it would have been rude to not have attempted a few. It was cloudy so, there was not the distraction of having to deal with harsh light and shadows. An overcast sky allowed the focus to be on the flowers, set against dark backgrounds. This may well be something I do more of, albeit there's a lot of room for improvement!

The last day of October
We're past the mid point of the autumn, heading inexorably towards the winter. The leaves are falling and the branches are increasingly starting to look bare. This visit to the woods was an attempt to capture the last of the autumn colours. An attempt somewhat hindered by frisky, showery weather! That's autumn for you…
