Yesterday’s Walk

 

It’s been a while since I posted any photos of my ritual Sunday walk, mostly due to the fact that I do the same walks frequently and there is only so many things you can snap. I don’t get time to stop and get the set up right either, my big bro sets a fast pace and I’d get left behind 🙂 Therefore any snaps I take are pause and shoot and jog to catch up again.

Yesterday, we did an old favourite, Sawmills at Crawfordsburn Road to Helens Bay and on to Bangor marina, about 8 miles I think. I did take a few just to capture what was a great morning, a nice frost on the ground and some nice Autumn woodland colour, oh, and a few nosy cattle.

Raft Maple.

My Raft is a lovey red in it’s autumn colour.

I don’t recall this tree going just as red as this last year!

 

The leaf size is coming down nicely, coming along Peter?

Shuga Ten 2013

Juan Andrade, who is apprenticing at Aichien very kindly shared some photos taken at Shuga Ten  on Facebook. I was blown away by some of the quality trees. I have shared a few of my favourites below but Juan tells me that John Milton will be sharing them all on his blog soon, so keep an eye open for this.

I would love to get a look at this exhibition set up by Peter Warren, but sadly I’m stuck across the water. I’ll have to make do with the photos.
