Winter Walk at Wimpole Estate

Very enjoyable walk in the sunshine at Wimpole Estate yesterday morning wih my full-spectrum camera.

Wimpole Fungi

Wimpole grounds were very 'damp' in the mist but thankfully not too muddy. Lots of fungi covered in dew, which gives interesting shots as in the first photo but makes ID difficult. I have managed to identify Calocera cornea, Small stagshorn (2), Helvella crispa, White Saddle (3), Auricularia mesenterica, Tripe Fungus (5,6), Auricularia auricula-judae, Jelly Ear (8), Annulohypoxylon thouarsianum King Alfred's Cakes - young stage (9) and Nostoc comune a Cyanobacterium (10)

Wimpole in the Mist

I took a damp misty walk round Wimpole Estate this morning - very atmospheric but difficult to photograph. I was surprised to find a primrose plant in full bloom in the midst of a lot of different fungi species (next post)

A Hot Morning in the Woods

The Woodland Belt at Wimpole is closed except one short path through Eversden Woods. I hope these infrared images give a feel of the almost impenetrable wildness of ivy and undergrowth that is developing in the undisturbed parts of the wood.

Wimpole Infrared

I took my Sony RX IR converted camera on a walk to Wimpole Folly today. The second image is the original jpeg from the Sony, profile produced in camera with whites set to neutral. All the colour changes to give blue skies  etc done in Lightroom.
