iForest

I recently went for a bike ride in the New Forest. The sun was shining for a change which made for some very picturesque views.

Didn't take my camera with me so took a few snaps with the trusty mobile.  The camera on the iPhone 5 seems to be a bit of an improvement on the previous models!

Grovely Spring

Taken during a recent visit to Grovely Woods. You can see from the second image that the bluebells are out in force!

Wiltshire Walk

Last weekend I had a great time visiting friends who have recently moved to the lovely village of Aldbourne.

In between sampling the food and drink at the 2 local village pubs we got out for a bit of a walk in the countryside so I took the opportunity to take a couple of shots.

Cloudy Moon

I was out yesterday evening and and noticed the bright full moon occasionally peeking through the clouds so when I got back home I thought I'd have a go at getting a shot of it.

The picture below, shot through the clouds (and trees) was taken from my back garden. I took it hand held as I was too lazy to go and get a tripod!

Tunnel Through The Trees

This tunnel through the trees is located on the road to Grately.

I drove down there a few times recently and thought it would make a good photograph as the road is really straight, it seems to go on forever and the trees really do resemble a tunnel when driving through.

Winter Walk

After the festive season excesses, I really needed to get out for some exercise. Thought about going for a run and then decided on a nice walk in the country instead ;-)

Here are some of the pictures that I took on my travels.

Lonely Little Tree

Just looking through some old memory cards and found this shot on one of them.

The tree looks a bit lonely sat on the top of a hill all alone!

Another Year Gone

So that's it then...the festive period is over. It's official now in my house as the tree and decorations came down yesterday and it's back to work tomorrow!!

Hope that you all had a good New Year and now we can look forward to what 2010 has to offer.

Here is my naked tree shortly before being dragged outside then chopped, drawn and quartered!

Horror Trees

Spotted these 2 gnarled and misshapen trees whilst out and about. Would imagine they would look good in a scene for a horror movie.

Countdown to Christmas

With the supermarket shelves stocked with festive goodies, it's difficult to miss that Christmas is just around the corner.

I'm finding it hard to believe that's it's nearly a year since last Christmas and how quickly this year has flown by.

Looking forward to getting another real tree this year...you just can't beat the smell of a freshly cut Christmas tree to put you in a festive mood.
