Woodlife

We haven’t had a good drop of rain for a while now. The rest of the UK has had a few downpours but we remain pretty dry here in East Anglia.

This led to a few nice sunsets last week as the dust mixed with the rays of the setting sun. I borrowed this 18mm lens. I think I’ll have to invest in one.

I went to Poor Park woods on Sunday. There was a surprising amount of activity and this was mid-morning. I saw three lots of fallow and a fox. The sighting caught me unawares and I didn’t even get a chance to capture them on film apart from this poor photo.

In the afternoon I went foraging for cherries off our local cheery trees, which were delicious.

There is an abundance of grasshoppers around at the moment making great snacks for the birds. A number of butterflies can be seen feeding on thistles, ragwort, and rosebay willowherb (below).

I’ve been taking Billy the Bichon out in the evenings as it’s cooler. It really is a spectacular time of the day once the oppressive heat has dissipated a little.

I’ll leave you with another sunset picture.

Thanks for the visit.
