Newnham, Cambridge on Frosty Morning

Taken on an early morning walk into Cambridge from Newnham recently with the mist and frost adding atmosphere to the playground.

Aconites and Other Spring Flowers Girton

It is several years since I walked around Girton College grounds so today I decided to explore the perimeter path and was rewarded with some impressive spring flowers - the aconites and snowdrops in full bloom while daffodils and crocuses are now opening. Very different to my first February in Cambridge where the grounds were frozen or under snow from Boxing Day till March 6th.

Thick Mist This Morning

I hoped for some interesting light through the mist this morning but it stayed very thick until the sun was too high. Ted enjoyed his walk however.

Snowdrops Madingley Hall

The snowdrops have all come out at once this year presumably as a result of the very cold spell giving way to the present milder weather. I took a legacy lens on a walk around the grounds and woods. I enjoyed playing with the very shallow depth of field at F1.8 and the beautiful soft backgrounds this produces, as well as stopped down to give more background detail. Even photographed a very small Garden Spider

Spring Flowers in Toft

The snowdrops are in full bloom in Toft Churchyard plus other spring flowers.
