Woodland: land covered with trees is the definition maybe, but it’s so much more than that! Pulling on my wellies is a familiar feeling, although new too this year as I’ve upgraded to a nice pair of neoprene-lined boots, that I can already feel the benefits of!
The ground is wet underfoot, and as I drag my bag from the back seat of the car, I catch a glance of the trees above, flush with the autumnal colours.
Strolling down the main path of my local woods, it’s amazing how quickly everything you’re thinking or worrying about fades away. Unusually, my bag is rather light today, a welcome treat as I’ve pulled my shoulder, maybe too much time dragging a super-tele about, who knows…? But today it’s instead filled with a collection of smaller lenses and my macro, as we’re going on a fungi hunt.
