#FAVERSHAM

A large maple tree coming into leaf above a typical English "zebra crossing". Old and historic buildings can be seen behind. The sky is a clear blue paling into an orange-yellow below.

A close-up of the coppery brown leaves caught in the evening sunshine.

My phone didn't do justice to the colour of this Copper Norway Maple(?) on my walk back from the supermarket this evening. The last of the evening sunlight was capturing the newly unfurling leaves 😍 #trees #springtime | #faversham #kent #england

The big pond in the allotment grounds, taken from my usual spot about halfway across the wooden footbridge. Spring can now definitely be seen with the new growth on its banks! 😍

Faversham Creek basin at low tide. The sun is shining on the brewery 🌞

Gloomy, it was, but the sun did manage to break through as I walked home #landscapephotography | #faversham #kent #england

A view looking back towards the town from past the Iron Wharf Boat Yard (where the boats are moored). The sky is mostly a clear blue crossed with contrails. The creek is mostly a grey-brown mud at low tide with only a narrow stream reflecting the blue of the sky. Grasses and low-growing, salt-tolerant plants in various shades of greens and browns make up the foreground.

It was a lovely afternoon for a walk down Faversham Creek. If you zoom into the boat nearest the water you should just about make a Little Egret (Egretta garzetta) wadding through the stream.. #favershamcreek #faversham #creek #kent #england #birdsoftheworld #birds

A low-resolution phone-photo (a Sony Experia, but I forget which model) of a wreck of a fishing boat (mid creek) and two decaying hulks of Thames sailing barges along a muddy creek at low tide.

I'm not entirely sure why, but I've always had a soft spot for this photo of the entrance to Faversham Creek, that I took in 2016. It's pretty much as was, but I've lightened it a bit here #favershamcreek #faversham #kent #england
