More of my forest walk. Turning left takes you into suburbia, turning right deeper into the forest. I turned right.

This is how the light often is here - but not on this day, so I processed the left and right sides of the photo in different ways to give the impression it was.
This is a view I see every year, and every year there is change to be seen, as there is in every city.
Is change for the better? It keeps very quiet on that...

As seen on a walk in Bury Wood, Epping Forest somewhere along Three Plank Ride (the name of this path).
My first this year, never seen one in February before. Thanks to
another lovely day with Sandra and Kevin, not forgetting Charlie the Springer, who is so good.
The two leaders come together to end their centuries of war between the two clans. Will the truce last?

Snow in Epping Forest today - just before lunch the heavens opened and by 2pm the roads were clear again.
Just one more to show the size of the beech trees in Epping Forest and the colours their leaves produce in autumn
Epping Forest is a 2,400-hectare (5,900-acre) area of ancient woodland, and other established habitats, which straddles the border between Greater London and Essex. The main body of the forest stretches from Epping in the north, to Chingford on the edge of the London built-up area. South of Chingford the forest narrows, and forms a green corridor that extends deep into East London, as far as Forest Gate; the Forest's position gives rise to its nickname, the Cockney Paradise.[1] It is the largest forest in London..Today's beech-birch and oak-hornbeam-dominated forest may be the result of partial forest clearance in Saxon times.
From a visit to the local lake the other day - here is the female goosander. 3 of these compared with 7 males on Connaught Water.
A butterfly success story.
Ten years ago I never saw any locally.
Over the last 4 to 5 years they have been seen frequently from Epping in the North to Wanstead in the south.
You Can find them fluttering around at Yates Meadow, Chingford Plain, Whitehall Pain, Wanstead Park & Flats, Long Running, Fairmead, Theydon Bois & anywhere in between.
