Changing Skies at Wimpole

The sky was constantly changing during Tuesday's walk at Wimpole. with all the recent rain, the road at Arrington was flooded right across giving a great reflection.  

 

In the Wood with the Hosebaby Lens

I spent an hour in our local wood with my home-made close-focus shallow-depth-of-field lens (Hosebaby) taking multiple shots while moving myself forwards or backwards. The set of images were then focus stacked with Zerene stacker. Here are a selection of images that I liked of Hazel female flowers, umbel seedhead, oak apple, rose hip, oak leaves, lichens and teasel with ladybird and against the light with the interesting bokeh.

St Nicholas Church in Arrington, Cambridgeshire

 I'd never visited Arrington church until today - the churchyard is particularly attractive with spring flowers. The Parish Church of St. Nicholas in Arrington dates from 13th Century. The walls are clunch of local field stones and red brick. The main roof, now tiled, was originally thatched and probably continued to be so until comparatively recent times. The timber spire is lead-covered. The West Tower (9½ ft. square) was built c. 1300, rebuilt in the 18th century. The organ is gothic, 19th Century.
