4/52 Fishery lock.

The Grand Union Canal.

A very cold Saturday morning saw me trying to get out with the camera for 20 minutes. I joined the the Grand Union by Fishery lock. I got the usual duck pictures, nothing special, saw a Kingfisher but it was too fast and far off to get a picture. On the way back to the car i took this shot of one of the barges. I decided to give it an aged look but i think i need to add some graininess to it to carry it off properly.

3/52 Lone rider.

One of the hardest tasks during the snow was not starting the car or getting the stock to the shop but trying to find a sledge for Harry. Everywhere had sold out and these things were like gold dust. Luckily Mum heard on the Amersham grapevine that there was to be a delivery at one of the toy shops and manged to get one for H. Well it was better than the bin lid that i had given him to use - it didn't work at all.

2/52 Snow at Hemel Hempstead station.

As so few people were travelling during the winter weather i decided to get the camera and Manfrotto down to the station. I got a few funny looks as the odd brave soul passed in front of the lens but the results were worth it i think. A 20 second exposure on this from memory.

1/52 Ashridge woods.

A nice walk on a cold sunny morning in Ashridge was just what the kids wanted! Well Harry was ok but little Asha was having non of it. Even trying to tell her we'd see the 'rein'deer didn't do the trick. There was no way she was going to wear gloves and a hat. Eventually, after almost freezing to death, she decided to put her gloves on but only after she insisted on being carried for the rest of the way.

Welcome to my 52 photo blog.

This is my attempt at getting a photo for every week of the year. It's not going to be easy because of the hours i work but I'm going to try my hardest to get to the end of December with picture taken each week.

Let me know what you think of the images.
