Where Are All the Berries

In our part of the country (Cambridgeshire) berries are in very short supply, with Hawthorn bushes mainly devoid of any haws. Fieldfares have arrived but are feeding on fall-down apples at the moment - worried for them and other species this winter if we do have cold spells. Various Fungi have appeared in Toft Wood and fields.

First Hard Frosts of Winter

Our village allotments are always a great place on a frosty morning with lots of different textures and shapes to explore and record.

Our Red Kites and Winter Visitors

 We have a resident pair of Kites that fly around the house and are often seen in the local trees . This morning, the light was beautiful as they flew and then rested warming themselves in the early sunlight. There are also large numbers of Redwings and Fieldfare together with Starlings (probably immigrants) feeding on the abundant berries.

Full Spectrum Photography - Autumn Rain

I took my full spectrum Lumix camera for a walk in the rain and concentrated on flowers, berries and leaves. Rather too slow shutterspeeds as light was very poor but I like the colour palettes. There is some channel swapping of background colours in Lightroom but often as taken.
