A visit to Wicken Fen this morning was rewarded with great views of a Water Rail - normally a very shy bird.

Audley End
Four pictures taken of the frost at Audley end on Tuesday morning. The soft colours in the panorama shot gives it the look of a painting

Snow in November
Not had much time for photography recently but wanted to record the November snow on my blog. This is partly for Brian and Sally out there in Thailand basking in the heat. Also because I make a diary book of the blog each year and like to have any unusual weather patterns to look back on. The diary is very easy to make using Blurb books. There is an option Blog to Book and this downloads all the blog entries into a 7 by 7 in book. I do quite a lot of moving of pictures to adjust the page layouts as it comes in with one post per page.
So far our part of Cambridgeshire has only had a light cover of snow but more is forecast so watch this space.

Edith's Embroidery
Here is the display of my mother's embroideries in the Church, which we photographed before we took them down after the Funeral on Thursday. They encompass nearly 70 of her 98 years and show many changing styles and interests. The beautiful fire screen sampler is probably the earliest piece depicting a different flower for nine months in very fine needlework. The 'zoological' ones were inspired by my drawings while I was doing Natural Sciences at Cambridge. Later pieces show visits to Kew, bluebell woods, New Zealand rain forests and an East Anglian carved angel roof.

Cambridge Infrared
Posting a few infrared photos from a trip this morning with Martyn and David. I have also put a Gallery of Cambridge Infrared photos on my website
I love the colours that some scenes like Clare Chapel produce in infrared and it also shows the differences in the various materials used for clothing. All the gowns in the procession are black to our eye but synthetic materials obviously emit a lot of infrared compared to cottons or wool.

Westonbirt, A tribute to Edith
For those who knew her, my mother, Edith Grady, died early Saturday morning at the age of 98. She loved Westonbirt and so I continued with a long-arranged weekend trip to see the autumn colours with Phil, Shelagh and Miles - thanks for your company. We were rewarded for getting there early by a beautiful misty morning with all the trees decked in dew drops. The leaves have gone from many of the trees but there were still some hanging on making wonderful backlit subjects.

More like August than November
Today has been a wonderful warm and sunny day. Thanks Jan for showing me round today. It was certainly all about the sea and the variety of colours and forms that the sea takes. We started with placid blues at our first stop going on to the varied colours in the sea bathing pools. The waves were building up there - enough to surprise me and wet my camera. On the other side of the island, the waves were crashing over the rocks giving a great display and yet with emerald seas and warm hands.
