Wk 1 The New Forest under Snow, Wk 2 Anticipation, Wk 3 Hello, Heather, Wk4 New Life, Wk5 Tulip Mania, Wk 6 Inside/Outside?, Wk 7 A Horse in the Bush!, Wk 8 Sunflower Fantasia, Wk 9 Iris Reticulata, Wk 10 Last year/This year, Wk 11 Lichen, Gorse and Rain, Wk 12 Daffodils, Wk 13 Rain, rain go away! Wk 14 What a difference a week makes, Wk 15 Eggardon Hill ... plus, Wk 16 "Neigh"-bourhood Dispute, Wk 17 Down by the Riverside, Wk 18 Green Haze, Wk 19 Blackbird Family Week, Wk 20 Wild in Menorca, Wk 21 A Ray of Sunshine, Wk 22 Good or Bad? Wk 23 Busy, busy, busy, Wk 24 Pony, Wk 25 Foxglove fever ... to be continued in new thread for Week 26.
Alongside my themed 52 for this year, I've decided to do a 'Personal' 52. I'm still not quite sure what form it will take and envisage it evolving depending on what the year throws at me - ie I might make the rules up as I go along!
My basic aim is to 'get it right in camera' as far as possible, ie little or no pp, and given I can chose the subject I've got no excuse. The general theme will be based around the garden, the allotment and the New Forest in general - hence the 'Growing' in the project title. I hope it will also help me 'grow' my togging skills so I'd be grateful for any advice, help or feedback.
So, here's Week 1: The New Forest under Snow
For those of you who don't know the New Forest in Hampshire, it's the country's smallest National Park and is home to a unique set of flora and fauna. 'Forest' conjures up images of dense woodland, but in fact an important part of the New Forest is the open grassy areas (called 'lawns') and boggy peaty areas. So this is a fairly typical view, but under a blanket of rare snow it takes on a new look. I've lived here for about 25 years and never seen 'proper' snow until now.
Your c&c will help me learn, so please don't hesitate to say what you think.
