Exhibition at Addenbrookes Cancelled

Inevitable with the present lockdown, the Exhibition 'Winter' has been postponed to an unknown time. I am obviously disappointed for myself after putting the effort into printing etc  but mainly for the hopeful loss of income to the Hospital.

 

Macro - Spider's World at Audley End, Essex

As it was a bright morning, we were hoping for lots of insects at Audley End to practise macro photography but only located Honey Bees, a few Solitary Bees (Adrena spp), some ladybirds and this minute Crab spider guarding its prey in a curled leaf. Another spider had trapped a Wood Louse

Photography Very Much Not Welcome at Audley End

Despite this statement on the web page for Audley End - English Heritage welcomes all photographers to our sites and we hope you will share your pictures with us on Flickr and Facebook - we arrived this afternoon to find that no photography is allowed in the main building except for the very non-photogenic Nursery. There is a small disclaimer at the end that some properties have certain restrictions but we felt that it would be a courtesy to have the photography ban at Audley End prominently displayed on their website page.

We did however spend an enjoyable time photographing the Stables gardens, greenhouses (more later) and cottages.

The horse is a retired racehorse, Jimmy, who lives at Audley End and enjoys taking part in reenactments.
