The arrival of some pleasant weather and with a full belly of petrol we headed out for a walk in our favourite woodland area near Sandringham. Thought I would share some of the photos..

Very nice Eric, not sure about the 'pleasant weather' We just had a really heavy hailstorm, coming down like bullets, well sideways like bullets! Ten minutes later it's lovely sunshine. It's been like that all morning. That said, your pictures do make me want to go to the nearby woods and try to capture the season. Thank you! As for petrol, (diesel) only one filling station in the area had fuel last night, all the supermarkets were dry. A couple of days ago someone posted on one of the 'social' media websites that our local village filling station had fuel... The morons soon changed that, so I had to resort to using some old and dirty diesel I had in a can, so I could go looking for some in order to take my neighbour shopping tomorrow.

It's been like that all morning. Went past the local garage at 11am and there were 20 cars on forecourt and queued on the approaching road. When we returned at 2pm there was one car in each bay. I pulled in and realised they only had E5 petrol. I had E10 in the car so filling up with E5 means I am now somewhere between E7 and E8. Jan wanted to video a load of bugs walking along a fence .and did a good job I must say. The iPhone really excels at this. I tried to photograph them with my 90mm macro but they are just too small! Really needed extension tubes. As we were returning to the car we came across a couple of Carder bees .mating in the middle of the path. To avoid them being squished during their moment of bliss we scooped them up on a branch. The male was not at all put off and continued his 'activity' throughout the transfer to a safer spot. I was fully impressed with his stamina. But have just read he dies after this (the female hibernates and becomes a queen) so I guess if you have to go, that's probably the best way to go.

Not even been out and about much due to vehicle issues, incapacity ( me and then Jan in turn🤬) and then domestic overdue duties. It takes a bit of time getting warmed up again even forgetting where some of the settings were on the Sony. 🤠Hoping for more outing opportunities this month weather permitting

A different sort of woodland walk this time. A company called Luminate have this year flooded the Sandringham woods with a light show. Suspect it's Prince Charles hand in this one as he continues to have more control of the estate with the Queen at Windsor and semi retirement. At £16 a ticket, Charles is clearly wanting to make the Estate more profitable. In fairness it was an extensive set upmust have cost him a few bob. Not really expecting best photographyit was always going to be hard at iso12800 wandering round a wood at night.so, just a bit of fun. And it was b**** cold!  Click here to comment on this image.
