Lakeside Plants

My fourth and final post from Charnwood Water! It was such a good blog photo day! See my other posts from Charnwood Water here:


Anyway, usually I try to take a few photos from different angles for each subject, then pick which of those is my favourite to go on the blog. However this time it is different. I loved this plant so much that you get 3, yes THREE different angles of it! Wow! There are other plants here too like the ivy, but this one I have never seen before so I am showing it you now!

An adventure

Today I went on a little adventure. I hopped in my car and off I set driving. I didn't know where I was going and I didn't really care, I was just out looking for photo opportunities. I remembered one place that I had spotted a few weeks ago which would have been the perfect photo, but I didn't have chance to stop. So I attempted to go and find it, and took photos along the way. Finally I did find it and I was too late, the majority of the leaves had fallen from the trees and so the amazingly autumnal scene I once had seen looked a lot more dreary and wintery than before.

After that disappointment, I looked over to my right and saw something I was looking to take a picture of, but figured I would never find it. My dad had taken a picture before like this whilst we were driving through Austria, and it's stuck with me ever since. Mine is a lot less impressive, but it's nice to see things like that, that remind you of things you have done.

Eventually after finding only a few things to shoot I headed home disappointed with the days haul, but happy with the memory that I had rekindled.

Anyway, here are the photos of the day:

The road that I stopped on to take some pictures...

 Some woodland shots...



 This is the shot I was looking for, and you can probably imagine that a couple of weeks ago it was full of leaves on the trees - now they have all fallen to the floor. Boooooo!


This is the photo that was inspired by my dad's photo in Austria. Nowhere near as good, but I still like it.

More logs...


I was a little naughty going to get the log shots too, seen as I jumped over the fence right next to this sign to go get them. oops!

For some of these photos I used my Gorilla Pod, so don't forget to enter my competition where you can win one for yourself!

Leaf me alone!

Again I apologise for a horrendous post title, I think these up late at night and then they really make me laugh even though they are horrendous, but I have to include them!

Anyway, autumn is here, and for quite a while now I have seen many posts featuring autumnul leaves and amazing colours. Especially those across the pond, you seem to have such great autumns (or falls in your case!) and the colours are just incredible! Generally here in the UK we get a lot of brown and a lot of rain which ends up with a lovely brown mush on the floor! Wooo....not!

So I saw this tree out of my bedroom window one day and I had to go and shoot it! It was bright yellow and the sky was a brilliant clear blue with the sunlight shining through the leaves so I knew I wouldnt get a better opportunity than that to capture it!

And this is what I got! I'm hoping sometime soon I can go on an autumn walk in the woods to capture some more leafy treats but for now, this will have to do!
