I have been envious of snow covered views of the UK. Tha lady snowfall in London, January 2024. I ran out to local park to secure this scene before children arrived on school run!

My local park covered by snow. The trees bend their branches, the park bench softly dressed in snow.

It would be a crime to miss out on autumn, so I did not!

#Autumn #EppingForest #Woodlandphotography #EssexWildlifeTrust #Nature #LandscapePhotography
My first walk of the autumn through Epping Forest. The shape of the trees, leaves and all of nature, simply a riot of colour.

Huge thanks for likes and engagement. I will be pretty silent as life has taken an unexpected turn. Back when possible. (view in landscape mode)

A view which unfolded as we climbed into the woods above Grasmere lake. A house built of stone, sunrays protruding through autumnal leaves. I could not leave this view behind.
