Title: Spring Evening Walk
Location: Buttsbury
Camera: Canon EOS 30D / 24-105mm EF f/4 L IS USM
Notes: I revisited a familiar spot from Day #64 this evening, after being cooped up busy at home all day. Looking south instead of west this time, and quite a different view with the yellow colour in the fields and a pink tinge to the sky.

Title: A Touch Of Burgundy
Location: Roxwell
Camera: Canon EOS 30D / 24-105mm EF f/4 L IS USM
Notes: Despite the sunny weather, I only managed to take about a dozen images today, and this was the best of them. Seeing it was a similar subject and point of view to yesterday’s shot, I thought I would give it a similar treatment. Let’s hope I come up with something more original for tomorrow.

Title: A Touch Of Red
Location: Mulberry House, Ongar
Camera: Canon EOS 30D / 24-105mm EF f/4 L IS USM
Notes: The sun was out this morning, and I manged a quick photo in the grounds of the Mulberry House hotel before a lunchtime meeting. I thought I’d have a fiddle with some filters too.

Title: Silky Satin
Location: Five Lakes, Maldon
Camera: Canon EOS 30D / 24-105mm EF f/4 L IS USM
Notes: A quick grab shot of my bag, thought it made a good shot for the 52 Themes 2009 Black & White week.

Title: Down With The Dandelions
Location: Centenary Circle, Chelmsford
Camera: Canon EOS 30D / 24-105mm EF f/4 L IS USM
Notes: After the excesses of last night’s party, it was a bit of a struggle to get up and out to catch the bus up to Broomfield for the start of our monthly Chelmsford Flickrwalk. But the weather proved to be better than predicted and we ended up going over 5 miles for the first leg of the 22-mile circular walk, the Centenary Circle. We’ve been talking about doing it for ages, so it was good to get it started at last, walking the Broomfield to Springfield section. Next month we shall probably go for Springfield to Great Baddow.

Title: Welcome To The Party
Location: Chelmsford
Camera: Canon EOS 30D / 17-85mm EF f/4-5.6 IS USM
Notes: Monika’s 40th birthday party was a very lively affair – we were all invited to come in 1930’s fancy dress. The food was marvellous, the champagne flowed freely and the company was a lot of fun. Here is Monika (on the right) with another friend, enjoying a glass of bubbly.

Title: My Head Is Swimming
Location: Danbury
Camera: Canon EOS 30D / 24-105mm EF f/4 L IS USM
Notes: Well my head wasn’t really spinning, but that’s the feeling I got when I looked at this. No Photoshoppery, just a good old-fashioned distorted reflection in a pond at Danbury Country Park, where I managed to esacpe for half an hour this afternoon.
