It's been very cold lately with daytime temperatures lucky to lift above freezing point. Wrapping up warmly, we set out at the weekend for fresh air and a stretch of the legs.

Some beautiful sights to be seen.

Countryside scenes...
Can you see her?

Knock, knock.
Who's there?
Woodpecker.
Can you spy the bird?
Stealthy as I tried to be, it clocked us before I could find a clear shot.



Usually herons take flight when they see me but this one didn't flinch and it crossed my mind that it could be a statue.
Pretty sure this IS fleabane although after the other day, I am still perplexed as to which is which (or how they differ)

Thingy.
Horseradish! We see this all the time. The roots spread.
Lovely lane walking.

Take care,
Sophie

Saturday dawned (eventually) in a misty, fog of low light. The sun valiantly burst forth after several hours of only achieving a diluted glow. If you can manage to get outdoors to explore in the beautiful dawns of October it really is worthwhile. I snapped away at a familiar landscape which was transformed by the magical mist and sunbeams.






I'd like to think that if nothing else, my blog is a starting point for an introduction to the countryside in East Anglia. If you live abroad or in a basement or just can't get outdoors yourself for any reason then I'd say there's a fair representation of the great outdoors here. I sometimes flick back through old posts and have no recollection of the photographs and find them quite interesting to look at. Things that happened a while ago. Plus I realise that there are endless shots of dead weeds, dead or alive (but aren't they so beautiful?).



 C saw a fox but I didn't manage to catch a glimpse myself sadly.



Always a pleasure to capture something different.
Take care,
Sophie
