Reflections in the lower lake in Pittville Park, Cheltenham.
Another test of the new Canon G11 - lens wide open here!
I was attracted to this shot by the Sweet Chestnut in blossom across the lake.

It's conker season!!! For those unfamiliar with this term, conkers is an old, old game for kids, taking fallen autumn chestnuts, piercing a hole through the centre and threading a string or shoelace through it. The "conker"is then swung on its string at the opponent's conker with the winner being the one with the conker that survives relatively intact.
For generations this was a game played in school playground by kids, especially young boys, and often, impatient for good ones to drop from the chestnut trees, you'd see groups of boys hurling branches and stones at the boughts, trying to dislodge some ripe chestnuts in their prickly casings so they'd drop.
It's a game little played now and I doubt most schoolkids today have heard of it - this tree hangs over the wall in Dalry Cemetery, two minutes from a school, but I've never seen any of the kids picking up the conkers on their school walk. I supposed if we'd had the distractions and games they have now when we were that age, we'd probably never have bothered with them either! Still, every autumn I walk by this magnificent chestnut tree and admire the conkers falling from it, and remember playing with friends, long ago, when we were kids and something as simple as a chestnut on a string and a groups of pals was all you needed to be happy.
De Parauta a Igualega, dos pueblos blancos situados en la Serranía de Ronda (Málaga), hay una ruta preciosa para caminar entre castaños. Durante el otoño las hojas de los árboles se vuelven de tonos naranjas y amarillos. Es un espectáculo digno de ver.

This tree grows in the grounds of Rydal Hall and is believed to be many hundreds of years old and we were told to hug it and make a wish! It was certainly old and had lost many wonderfully shaped and twisted branches. The one in the lower right looks like the god of the wind.

HDR processing on a woodland scene - I am not a huge fan of HDR, it has a time and place but is so often overdone and a little ridiculous, this is my first (and probably last) attempt at a HDR shot.

After all the snow pics, I thought I'd post something a little bit more sunny and bright :)
This was taken in May last year in my local forest park. It was lovely to see the white deer out in the open.
Parkanaur Forest Park is only one of few that has a herd of white fallow deer. They are not albino, but have the rare white gene and I think they are absolutely beautiful :) I think they've gotten used to me now and allow me to get fairly close :)
Hope you all have a lovely Saturday. I'm sitting looking out at a few flakes of snow falling, but I don't think it's going to stay :( so I'll go off later in search of some snow drops methinks!! ;)
Thank you everyone for all your wonderful comments on my previous snow pictures, you guys are wonderful :)

Música: " Nick Cave and The Bad Seeds - Spinning Song (Official Lyric Video) "
Spinning Song - Nick Cave & The Bad Seeds (traducida)
Album: Ghosteen
Hubo una vez una canción, la canción anhelaba ser cantada
Era una canción giratoria sobre el rey del rock and roll
El rey fue una vez un joven príncipe, el príncipe era el mejor
Con su negro cabello engrasado, aterrizó en un escenario en Las Vegas.
El rey tenía una reina, el pelo de la reina era una escalera
Ella cuidaba el jardín del castillo y en el jardín plantó un árbol
El árbol del jardín era una escalera, tenía la altura de 16 ramas
En la rama superior había un nido, canta el nublado nido de la altura.
En el nido había un ave, el ave tenía un ala
El ala tenía una pluma, gira la pluma y canta el viento
A tiempo el rey murió, el corazón de la reina se rompió como un juramento
Y el árbol regreso a la tierra con el nido y el ave
Pero la pluma giró hacia arriba, ascendió y ascendió
Girando todas las veletas
Y tú, estás sentado en la mesa de la cocina, escuchando la radio.
Y te amo, y te amo, y te amo, y te amo
Y te amo, y te amo, y te amo, y te amo
La paz vendrá, una paz vendrá, una paz vendrá a tiempo
Un tiempo vendrá, un tiempo vendrá, un tiempo vendrá por nosotros
Paz llegará, una paz llegará, una paz llegará a tiempo
Un tiempo vendrá, un tiempo vendrá, un tiempo vendrá por nosotros
[ENG] The Chestnut forest of El Tiemblo (Ávila, Spain) it is a small forest of municipal property placed to approximately 1.100 m. of altitude in the header of the Reservation of Iruelas's Valley, to approximately 100 km from Madrid. It is the most extensive chestnut forest of the Central System, and on the autumnal station -the most showy and colouring- its paths are crossed by numerous visitors. Along the route we will be able to observe different species of trees and shrubs that they accompany on the chestnut-tree or form a part of the undergrowth of the chestnut forest (white hawthorn, hazel, elm of mountain, cherry, willows, holly, alder-tree, birch, heathers, ferns...). A section of the path passes parallel to the creek of the throat of the Yedra (Ivy), with it waters down all the year round and with a row of alder-trees that forming a small forest of gallery they wind close to the creek. With luck we can contemplate some species of birds of forest character (mocking-bird, blue climber, blackbird, thrush...).
[ESP] El Castañar de El Tiemblo (Ávila) es un pequeño bosque de propiedad municipal situado a unos 1.100 m. de altitud en las laderas de la Reserva del Valle de Iruelas, en la cabecera de la garganta de la Yedra, a unos 100 km. de Madrid. Es el castañar más extenso del Sistema Central, y en la estación otoñal –la más llamativa y colorida- sus senderos son recorridos por numerosos visitantes. A lo largo de la ruta podremos observar diferentes especies de árboles y arbustos que acompañan al castaño o forman parte del sotobosque del castañar (majuelo, avellano, olmo de montaña, cerezo silvestre, sauces, acebo, arraclán, abedul, brezos, helechos, ...). Un tramo del sendero discurre paralelo al arroyo de la garganta de la Yedra, con agua todo el año y con una hilera de alisos que formando un pequeño bosque de galería serpentean junto al arroyo. Con suerte podemos contemplar algunas especies de aves de carácter forestal (arrendajo, trepador azul, mirlo, zorzal...).

This is one of two different views that I photographed after I had observed the way that the tree shadows emphasised the undulations in the ground and thought it would make an interesting composition.
il curvo tronco del faggio sembrava suggerirci la via per l'antico sentiero nr. 5 che attraversa la foresta del Teso in Val d'Orsigna. La montagna respira, parla ed i suoi alberi sono assieme a lei parte viva! pubblicata in "le emozioni delle immagini" la mia pagina personale su facebook

Ancient chestnut trees line the hiking paths in Las Médulas, a historic Roman gold mining site near the town of Ponferrada in the region of El Bierzo (province of León, Castile and León, Spain). It was the most important gold mine (and largest open pit gold mine) in the entire Roman Empire. Las Médulas Cultural Landscape is listed by the UNESCO as one of the World Heritage Sites.
A Unesco World Heritage Site since 2011, the Cévennes is a remote mountain and forested province in the South of France and the only inhabited National park in the country. Although its landscapes have been shaped by man for centuries, they are wild and rich in biodiversity.
This region is the bastion of French Protestantism, where the Camisard war opposing both Catholics and Protestants took place in the 18th century.
Today, very few local farmers remain in those isolated mountains affected by a massive rural exodus that began in the late 19th century, and which left the old stone villages in a tragic state of abandon. But over the last forty years, a new group of people have gradually started to come here, drawn by their desire to live a better and simpler life, thus helping to revive the lost rural heritage of the region.
This also happens to be where my family roots lie. A beautiful, yet harsh country, where life unfolds season after season away from the chaos of the world.
Cévennes, France. 2021

Cartajima en un Pueblo blanco de la Serranía de Ronda en Málaga. Esta vista se obtiene durante el recorrido por una pista de tierra que va desde Parauta hasta Igualega. Es un verdadero placer para la vista el colorido de los castaños durante el mes de noviembre.
