Root and branch by judithg

Root and branch

I managed to pick the one part of the day when clouds gathered to walk Monty and sun seems to be vital for photos at the moment as otherwise the light is very poor quality. Luckily as we were heading out of the park it reappeared and made the few remaining leaves outside St John's College Chapel light up.
I had a moment's nostalgia for my previous walk home (15 year's ago!) and so headed up Castle Hill and it was very nice - I'll do it again.
Three GT:
1. Friday and the end of a busy week for all of us - I can feel a G+T coming on.
2. The cricket is happening while we're asleep so we don't have to watch the horrors unfold!
3. The Naval Academy Glee Club Male Voice Choir who have sung rather beautifully at the Kennedy Memorial Service. We have a long and on-going connection to the US Naval Academy and and I'm delighted to find that they have a Glee Club amongst all that macho stuff.
This is beautiful! Lovely composition.

At first I thought the leaves where little gold lights shining.....you have such fine buildings in Cambridge & the windows here just add that different colour & depth.
It seems many years ago since JFK was gunned down but I remember it so well!

Really beautiful shot. And probably more than one G+T.

A thoughtful composition, and the light on the few remaining leaves is beautiful.

Sure know what you mean. Without good light it's hardly worth going out. And I've had three days of good light in a row being trapped inside. Grr. Like your perspective here

I wondered if you had used a little burst of flash until I read further.... how obliging of the sun to appear for you at just the right time!

That is such a good shot Judith, dof is spot on - and the contrast of tree/leaves/stone is fabulous. This is a fav for me - and the G&T is richly deserved!

Beautifully framed and love your use of dof! Have a good weekend! : )

Wonderful architecture

They do look like gold but please, please do not mention the cricket :(

Lovely shot. Such a beautiful looking building in the background.

Those glints of gold from the leaves are beautiful - the delicacy of the architecture behind it is perfect. Enjoy what's left of Friday!,

The selected focus is perfection. I love the little glowing pops of orange. Fav xx

Very beautiful lighting and how can I not love that background? That Glee club sounds worth hearing!

Fav for this wonderful comp!

Delicate and magical shot, Vive la G&T or in my case verre de vin blanc!

Nice depth, love the light on the leaves.
November 23rd, 2013  
The focus is nice and sharp on those fine branches to blur the wonderful building behind!

How beautiful, they look like leaves of gold.
November 23rd, 2013  
judith, your leaves give the shot a quite surreal yet beautiful feel
November 23rd, 2013  
Love the softness (!?!) of the stone behind and the crispness of the branches.
