Sunset photo with dark trees on either side and a carpet of pink bluebells, some intentionally out of focus in the foreground. In the distance the sun is illuminating some new leaves on the trees and silhouetting the tree trunks.
Having a bluebell woodland within walking distance from my house is extremely nice. Lovely way to finish the day :)

WOW Sophie!! 🤩👍🏼
A better sunset at the #bluebells tonight - this time at Dockey Wood, part of Ashridge National Trust, not far from me.
The double sun stars remind me of the Pink Floyd song "Two Suns in the Sunset" - I hope it's not a bad omen... 😬

A portrait orientation woodland scene with silhouetted trees and some bluebells. There look as if there are two suns about to set, but it's just the one, with tiny bits showing on either side of a tree, creating sunstars. There are some branches backlit by the sun, and some bluebells are too.

A zoomed-in view of some trees with lots and lots of branches. Some are bare, others are covered in ivy. In the background there is some blossom just showing. The light is golden hour low sun. Beautiful chaos.
Near my favourite bluebell wood I found these incredible trees today.

Slight pink morning glow on the peaks of the Appenzeller alps behind lake Constance, otherwise overcast sky leading to an overall blue canvas.

A tiny beech tree with lots of dead orange/brown leaves still clinging on. Behind are some taller trees and more leaves in a light fog. Portrait orientation photo.
Discovering another wonderful local woodland this morning - this is Frithsden Beeches (and what a wonderful name too). So many lovely marcescent leaves to give some colour, and of course the fog was much appreciated :)

Chaotic woodland in winter. Most branches and ground are covered by snow. Two larger trees stand out, their dark nicely formed branches being emphasized by the snow on them.
Two trees that stood out from a small (pretty chaotic) woodland. I liked how the branches were emphasized by the snow and tried to carve them out with a long lense.

Big tree silhouetted with some smaller ones behind.
A view from under some low branches into a field with some trees dotted along the valley.
B&W view along a canal with some boats on the left and trees on the right bank.
Some remaining beech leaves cling to trees in a wood.
A few B&W phone shots from a slightly drizzly walk above Berkhamsted today.

A triangular piece of thin ice on the surface of a canal. There are some trees and sky reflected and there is movement giving some ripples and swirls.
A piece of thin ice on the surface of the Grand Union Canal last weekend, with the water sloshing around it.

A portrait orientation photo of an apple tree, zoomed in, showing lots of curved branches, some covered in moss, with lots of apples remaining at the top, which are yellow and red.
A white-barked willow tree with no leaves, with two trunks creating an elongated diamond-shape. Various leafless limbs coming off it. Below are red ferns, behind are some bushes and trees.
Two trees I love at the edge of Northchurch Common, seen this morning.

Heavy white clouds cover woods, only in the center of the image some dark tree silhouettes shine through.
Detail looking down at a cloud inversion from one of the lower mountains close to my home some weeks ago.

Trees in fog, with brambles and ferns. Some of the trees have ivy climbing up them.
Large tree with lots of trunks, in fog. Ferns below.
Lots of tall trees with crusty white bark. Lots of mist.
Lots of trees in fog, with quite a few of them covered densely in ivy. Brown ferns below.
More trees in fog photos? Why not!
#Berkhamsted #AwesomeFoursome #LocalPhotography #CanonR5markii
Tree with ridiculous amount of branches in the fog. Possibly an oak.
A selection of trees with trunks going all over the place. Some are covered in ivy. Some marcescent leaves showing in the background. Foggy!
Two trees in fog. The one on the left has one thick trunk with a bit of green vegetation on it, the one on the left is split in two and has some white bark. Foggy scene, with some brown ferns on the ground.
Detail of a tree with ridiculous amount of branches draping down towards the ground. A bit foggy.
Glad I was WFH today - was able to nip up to the local common to take a few photos of the fog at lunchtime :) Here's a small selection.

Dark cloudy sky with a thin gap that shows the full moon shortly before setting. The sun has almost risen, giving the sky behind the moon a beautiful violet tone. In the foreground a snow covered landscape with gentle hills is seen, and a narrow road leads into the background.
Moon set. Nothing more to say 😋

A grey heron with a large amount of black feathers, including behind its eye, perches on a branch with its neck hidden. Looks hunched.
A paler grey heron on a fir tree extending its neck to look at something below.
There are always grey herons along the canal. They are strange birds, not known for being very nice... but I like to see and photograph them.

Trees at sunrise reflected in slightly moving water, making some interesting almost-circular patterns.
Bare tree reflections in moving water at sunrise.
Tree reflections in moving water - all sorts of colours and shapes.
Wider angle view of trees reflected in moving water.
I've always had a thing about tree reflections in moving water - the Grand Union Canal in #Berkhamsted provides ample opportunities to photograph them! Particularly nice at sunrise, like this morning :)

Warm sunlight filtering through trees; dying ferns below, and some last remaining leaves and berries visible.
Sun filters through some bare trunked trees, although one has a branch with some remaining leaves that are backlit. The forest floor is covered in ferns and ivy, and soft light bathes the scene.
Last ones for tonight - and more from yesterday morning with the glorious morning sunlight coming through the trees. I really love winter more than any other season :)
Northchurch Common, #Berkhamsted #CanonR5ii #LocalPhotography
Foggy trees with some orange/brown ferns below. There are a couple of errant branches with a handful of leaves remaining, but mostly the trunks and branches are bare.
Some foggy trees from yesterday morning at Northchurch Common - it was a really lovely morning and hoping for more this weekend. Obviously forecast tomorrow is good too, but I'm working :(
#LocalPhotography #Berkhamsted
A drone view of some bare winter trees. The sun is about to set and the branches look golden or purple in the light.
Nice way to start the New Year. Hope it's a good omen...

There is a triangle of sunlight coming down from the top of the photo. Trees on either side and frosty ferns beneath. The light is in shafts as it's filtered through branches.
Morning light streams through trees onto frosty ferns below. At Northchurch Common this morning.

A massive broken apple tree in a forest, with some light fog behind. At the top of the tree are some yellow and red apples, and below are some orange ferns.
Magical morning up at a nearby common - touch of frost, touch of fog, and eventually a touch of sunshine. Fell in love with a new tree 🌳💚
#NorthchurchCommon #LocalPhotography #CanonR5ii
Large grey beech trees - looking a bit like elephant legs, with autumnal leaves around and a floor of orange fallen leaves.
Porcelain fungi on a dead branch with blurred yellow/green bokeh background. Amazing gills highlighted as they're backlit.
A lone tiny mushroom with a small pale brown cap. It's surrounded by blurred red leaf litter.
Large fir trees with ferns in front. There are some trees in the distance with some light fog.
October highlights... also from the wonderful local Hockeridge Woods. The mushrooms were incredible, but so were the trees. It's so lovely to spend time in forests, especially when they're a 15 minute walk from your new house :)

Sunlight rays shining into the mist in a woodland. Three trees in the foreground are only seen as vertical silhouette pillars with a few branches catching direct light almost "glowing". Background woods are vanishing in the mist.
Another misty woodland scene from the same day as my last post.

Shafts of sunlight through the trees pouring onto ferns below, some of which are turning orange.
A fly agaric (red spotty) mushroom on the forest floor, with some leaf litter, ferns and bramble leaves around it.
An avenue of Sequoiadendron giganteum (or Wellingtonia, or giant redwoods), with some dappled sunlight coming through. The path below them is covered in brown pine needles and there are green ferns at the base of the trees.
Sun illuminates some green beech leaves from behind, between tall trunks.
I was out with the big camera again in September, having discovered an amazing woodland nearby (Hockeridge), which has redwoods! Had no idea they grew outside of California, but here they are. The mushrooms were beginning to appear, but not too many around yet.

Lovely canal scene with a weeping willow in the sun.
Golden fields with dramatic clouds and blue sky above
A large tree sits on top of a field of thistles with small trees around, the sky has the colours just after sunset
The canal again with a dramatic sunset in the distance. There are pretty narrow canal boats and the weeping willow again.
I didn’t take my big camera out once in August, so my selected photos are from local walks in the Grand Union Canal and countryside around Berkhamsted with the iPhone.

Beautiful shot of St. Clements Church with an early moon. Couldn't resist the shot. #random #moon #twilight #localphotography
Small bump of snow with the surface covered with ice crystals shining bright in sunlight. Out of the top two small branches stick out covered with ice. In the background is an ice surface in the shadow.
Minimal white christmas tree ... ?!

Lots of vertical silver birch trees with pale trunks and a smattering of remaining golden yellow leaves and some small brown twigs.
More lovely silver birch and their remaining golden leaves.

Backlit yellow leaves on a beautiful sunny morning.
This is probably my favourite time of year - as autumn gives way to winter. Absolutely stunning morning up on a common a short drive away. So many beautiful trees everywhere!

A slightly foggy woodland scene with a few autumnal leaves left on the trees.
Little break from the Iceland photos...
Back in my local woods today, with a touch of fog. Such a lovely place :)
