Street of Cambridge 2. Signs of the Times

As well as recording the buildings to see changes in structure and ownership, I am also interested in the changes everyday life as portrayed on the streets such as the Delivery services evident everywhere (here Just Eat and Delveroo), transport systems, clothing etc (Images 9 and 10 are the left-over boxes containing the mechanism for the previous rising bollard system; image 2002)

Streets of Cambridge 1. Starting Plans

Between 2011 and 2004, members of Cambridge Camera Club took photos of many of the main streets in Cambridge and we intend to repeat this during the next year or so. We made a start yesterday and I found it a lot more tricky than expected to match up the views. The only shop to remain the same on this section of the Bridge Street was Toni and Guy the hairdresser.

Insects Waking Up

 The warmer weather has brought out quite a few insects in our part of Cambridgeshire including a good number of Honey Bees but also the Buff-tailed and Tree Bumblebees, small Flower beetles, Ant, Ladybird and Sarcophaga fly.

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.
