After a very wet morning and early afternoon, the clouds cleared to give a fiery sunset over Heronry Lake at Paxton.

Shadows and Silhouettes Cambridge

The low bright sunlight this morning in Rose Crescent and Magdalene Street in Cambridge this morning was throwing people and bikes etc into bold silhouettes with strong shadows. Very difficult to capture in photographs but here is a flavour of the scenes.

Mini Fungi etc at Paxton

Looking on wet logs etc revealed quite a few small fungi species at Paxton today, lots of Collembolids scurrying around and one possible slime mould of a leaf stem (very very small subject!!) plus a yellow slime mould mycelium on a wet log.

 

First Snowfall

 We had a very brief snow shower this morning - just enough to whiten the paths - Ted wasn't too sure about wanting the walk until we got to the meadow where the snow had melted. 

Focus-stacked Fungi etc

As well as the previous blog post of single-exposure images with my Fuji Compact, I also took several focus stacks with the Olympus 60mm macro lens of the various frosted specimens and also this daisy among the frosty grass and leaves.
