It was the Saturday between Christmas and New Year, which meant it was time for Hitchin Camera Club’s midwinter photo walk.  We met at 10.00 and went for a walk through the Oughtonhead nature reserve before retiring to the pub for a pint!

The Weir

Dan, also photographing the weir!

The invasion of the photographers!

Silhouettes and sky

We weren’t the only visitors.

There was a herd of long-horned cows just off the beaten track

Seed pods, pretending to be moths?

Reflections

The trees were watching…

Ivy

Brightly coloured fungus on a tree stump

Roots

More fungus – top and bottom views

The “head” of the river and the end of the walk – time to go to the pub!
