Autumn was definitely turning into Winter down by Salhouse Broad today, as I went for a wander round one of my favourite local spots.
-
- Veteran oaks stand guard
-
- Chill waters unwelcoming today
-
- On the boardwalk
It’s only a short distance from my house, and whilst lovely in the summer, in some ways it’s better in winter when you have the place to yourself.
-
- Nice weather for ducks…an odd expression
-
- Fungi feeding on deadwood
-
- Hidden pools where otters sometimes play
Stormy weather has been blowing through all day, leading to some interesting light conditions for photos. I must remember to take my proper camera out next time, however the one on my phone is pretty good.
-
- Bee boxes – home for insects
-
- Norfolk – it’s not all flat
-
- Dead tree – was it struck by lightning?
I managed not to get too wet, but did have to take shelter under the trees a few times as the rain blew through.
-
- My hat has seen better days
-
- Still a few boats moored up
-
- Remnants of Halloween – spiderweb tunnel
Sunshine and cloud made for a few good photos.
-
- Boat in sunshine – warm
-
- Same boat, different light – cold
-
- A good place to explore, but no canoes today
Places like this are inspirational for some of the short stories and poems I’m attempting to write at present.
-
- What secrets do the cold waters hide?
-
- Ducks – they hunt in packs
-
- Old oak, doorway to another world?
You can read some of the ones I’ve finished, and a few that are in progress, on my Wattpad site. Here’s a link to my ‘Poems from the road’ which I’m slowly adding to: https://my.w.tt/UiNb/qZ6aT4L90H
I’ll shortly be adding the first few chapters of a new short story, all based in Norwich, but a slightly different sort of city to the one we know. I’d welcome any feedback.
