Yesterday was a day of very heavy showers and stormy skies for a visit to Gunby Hall, an interesting NT house with wonderful gardens and grounds (and a good tearoom!). For some of the day, I used my compact Sony RX100 which I had converted for infrared photography. Here are a few views - I usually concentrate on scenes with a mixture of buildings and vegetation and on trees.

Toft Garden Trees 1
After sessions at Paxton Pits identifying trees, I decided a catalogue of what is in my Toft (Cambridgeshire) garden would be a good plan. Hopefully this first batch are correct - note to self - label twigs as I remove from tree/bush as some are very difficult to distinguish. We start with an oak kindly given to me as a birthday present about 20 years ago, now a fair-sized tree that needs the leader shoot cut back every year or two - host to a huge number of insects - thanks Tricia Kreyer

Icy River Walk
As I missed one bus home after an eye appointment in Cambridge today, I walked across Coe Fen to pick up the next in Newnham. Although it was pretty chilly and lots of frozen areas, nothing to compare with my first winter in Cambridge - a picture here from the press in January 1963 of people skating in the river outside the Garden House Garden.
