Today’s photo is of a tunnel which actually goes under the A12. If I want to get to the river from my workplace, I have to walk through this tunnel. To me it represents freedom, of sorts – it’s a barrier between me and work! I’ve tried to encapsulate this by making the end of

Today’s picture is of the Colne, near Castle Park. I think that particular part of the river is covered with algae, it almost looks like a kind of green carpet on the river! If you weren’t paying attention you might even think it was grass and try to walk on it. I took a few

If I’m being totally honest, the photo today was taken by Mrs. Phil. I wasn’t even there when the picture was taken! We went down to Stansted Mountfitchet to visit Sarah’s parents, in order for me to talk to Sarah’s dad about ministry (he is an Anglican minister so it made sense. I didn’t just

Quick one tonight! At lunchtime today I didn’t have time to take a photo, and then we have a youth group meeting this evening. I thought I’d pop out into the garden and see if I could get any good flower shots! I think this is my favourite one. This is a sedum, which is

Today’s photo is another “lunchtime walk” jobbie. (Like I said, there are going to be a lot of these…) This is taken from the lock just up the river from where Tuesday’s picture was taken. There is a little waterfall the other side of the lock which may well feature in a photo at some

My photo today was – again – taken at lunchtime. There are a few little paths near where I work, this is one of them. You can’t see it in the preview, but on the post there’s a little direction arrow indicating the walk. I like this because it’s absolutely pointless – you can only

If you’ve been following my Twitter for a while you will probably have seen photos of the Chelmer before. I often walk down there at lunchtime. I think rivers are just about my favourite subject matter for photographs, particularly on a sunny day. There’s just something beautiful about them, the reflection of the trees rippling

We went out to Fordham today to have lunch with AJ and Jen. We walked from their house over to the Shoulder of Mutton and had a very nice lunch. Phil had sausages and mash, while I had a cheeseburger with chips. Good honest bank holiday food! This picture was taken on the way back,

Today we went round to see Jo for a bit. Evie (Phil’s god-daughter) was being very cute, as 15 month olds are, and I think this is the best photo I took. When I say “best”, I also mean best in the sense that the others were a bit blurry! So this was the best

I’m afraid today’s picture isn’t very inspiring! I had a few ideas, but unfortunately it was a bit too dark and grey to execute them. Also, it started raining. This photo epitomises what it’s been like this August: too wet to really use our outdoor table and chairs! I’m afraid it’s not such a pleasant
