We discovered Frensham Little Pond in Surrey this week. It was the perfect place to chill after BritMums. We got to have a paddle and feel the sand in-between our toes, Daddy and POD even went for a dip! Aside from that it’s been another busy week with three days spent working in London.
Welcome to Project 365: Week #26.
Day 174
This is POD holding Monkey and dressed in a ballerina skirt – perfect attire for a visit to the local shop. She looked like a little fairy!
Day 175
It was the first day back at home after BritMums so we escaped to Frensham Little Pond. An idyllic spot located in Surrey, it’s a site of special scientific interest, a special protection area and a special area of conservation. Having walked through the woodland we got to feel the sand between our toes and paddle in the water. POD and Daddy even had a dip!
Thankfully they were out of the water when this little fella swum past! Such a rarity too, it’s not every day you see a grass snake in Surrey.
Day 176
Not much time today but I did manage to capture these new blooms in the garden.
Day 177
First day of a new contract in London today. I thought this would be the week where I learnt how to take photos with my iPhone but the ones I took this day didn’t prove successful! This is the back-up taken on my SLR when I got home.
Day 178
I’ve taken a lot of underground photos this week especially here.
Day 179
Another day in London. This photo was taken after I grabbed a sandwich and lost my sense of direction!
On Friday evening the sky was blue, the clouds dramatic and sun bright. This is the view from the train having left a much busier than usual Waterloo.
Day 180
POD enjoyed a spot of painting outdoors before the heavens opened today. Orange was the preferred choice.
Having popped out for a bite to eat, we returned home just before a storm.
Love the Frensham Pond photos, taken me back to my childhood. The black and white shot is fab, wish I’d remember to take them! #365
Love the photo by the pond. The Leicester Square photo is so simple yet striking, it’s fantastic. I have those same pink flowers just appeared in my garden too!
Beautiful photos. Love the clouds one – so atmospheric in black and white.
Wow, I LOVE that picture of the rain – you’re so creative! I am also most impressed that you still manage to take an arty shot when you’re working in London – well done! As you can imagine, Frensham Little Ponds is a well-known haunt to us 🙂 x
I don’t think I’ve ever seen a grass snake, wow. Impressive capture. Its so rare to see them out and about. I love the dramatic sky shot too!
The photo of POD with her monkey and in her tutu is so lovely Charly! Wow, you have been busy this week! I would have screamed and run a mile had I seen that snake! x
wow i am loving that pond although not loving the snake quite so much! xx
lovely capture of the raindrops onto the water and i love the one of Pod looking out across the water. but i am not liking the grass snake!!!! *runs off to hide* x
so many amazing photos this week, I love fridays sky and the shot of the rain, so much detail in them!! x
S s s s SNAKE!
Love the rain photo in particular, I always fine things like that so hard to capture. Thanks for joining in Charly – see you tomorrow!
Sounds like a busy week. I love POD’s dress for shopping x #BetterPhotosProject
The raindrops and clouds are great photos. I wouldn’t have liked to see the grass snake in the water.
Snake! Snake! That pond looks lovely.
Wow – I’ve seen plenty of grass snakes in my time but have never managed to get a photo of one. Great shot. Don’t think I would fancy swimming in his pond though!
Wow that snake photo is amazing. I have never seen a wild snake ever, which I am quite glad about actually. Gorgeous stormy sky and the raindrops are a great capture too. I think POD looks perfect for going to the shop, my daughter often goes out in her tutu, whatever the occasion
Love the weather pics – the sky looks very menacing!
Lovely photo of POD cuddling up to her monkey! Great shot of the grass snake too.
I love the photograph of the snake – so clear, even though it looked like it was moving at a fair old pace.
We have still never been to either of the Frensham ponds although lots of people I know have – maybe we will have time this summer. We did actually drive past the big one on the way to the RSPB Big Wild Sleepout. I love the storm picture and how lucky were you to see a grass snake.
love the ripples in the water round the snake, a real action shot!
The sploshing rain looks very pretty too, but my fave this week is the b&w waiting to paddle pic, from her hat to her hair to her hitched up dress, along with the reflection is just a great picture
I love Pod holding monkey – how cute!? And Little A has that skirt. Also wanted to let you know I’m taking a two month blogging break and will be back in September. Have a wonderful summer! X
Such lovely photos Charly, love the ones of POD. The rain shot is fab, as is the photo of the clouds. How lucky to catch the grass snake 🙂 Hope you’re not too exhausted with the commuting x
Capturing a photo of the snake swimming is awesome! And the raindrops at the end is almost artistic it’s so beautiful. Hope this week has allowed for more at home time.
I love how dainty Pod is and yet she gets right in there; I can almost see her wading in in her dress! Gorgeous girl. So wonderful to meet you at Britmums, felt like an old friend.
