A mildly abstract one for today, make of it what you will…

More rain, more trees. Despite the thick canopies above loads of rain still got through – and on to me… There is a real sense of autumn approaching which is a little sad as we never really got summer, ok there was a heat wave back in June/July for 5-7 days, I guess that really was it folks! Still, I love autumn. Like Spring the autumn is a time of change, changing colours, weather, light – everything! The landscape itself undergoes a dramatic shift from lush and green trees and tall grasses through to reds and oranges as the trees shed their leaves for the onset of winter. I’m caught between ‘I can’t wait!’ and ‘was that all we got for summer?!’ feelings…no looking back though; Can’t wait! (more…)

Although this summer has failed to brighten up on many levels I was still surprised by what I found in the woods today. The persistent rain over the past few weeks has, it’s true dampened my spirits slightly. So I resolved to face it head-on and went for a walk during a monumental downpour to some local woods. This served two purposes; firstly get the hell out of the house and secondly to satisfy my curiosity to really see what changes come when it’s absolutely chucking it down. I’m not talking about ‘lots of water from the sky’ type changes, nor the resulting puddles of it collecting on the ground as I walk. No, I’m talking about the change in atmosphere around me and how could I possibly capture that on camera?! (more…)

With lots to go through still from the other weekend’s festivities here’s a nice shot I didn’t put up in the last batch of bluebell shots (you’ll be sick of them soon I swear!).

…it’s Star Wars day!
and on an entirely different note, I was out hunting bluebells again, which still have yet to complete their bloomage. Taking their time, see!

Actually they seem to be coming out a bit late this year compared to the last couple of years, maybe that’s to do with being in a different location? Either way here’s a small selection, there will no doubt be more to come soon as they really take off, these are only partially flowered crops…

A typical English bank holiday weekend; a bit of sunshine, mostly gloomy and perhaps a touch of rain…at least the date is still open for the well used pun.

A bit of wind rendered this shot a bit tricky to pick out the details so I exaggerated the movements to make a more abstract look to it…makes me think of tiger stripes when I look at it.

Typical. You wait all year for the sun to come out and it only shows itself once the clocks go back, it gets darker earlier and the days get shorter! Well, better late than never I guess…
