midfulness

It’s very important to me to ensure that I maintain a healthy work/life balance & the company I work for is very supportive of this. Coupled with my strong thoughts and feelings on mindfulness and how I use my photography as an outlet from the pressures of every day life I try and take a regular walk of around at least half an hour each working day. Last week I managed every day and so far this week, both days (its Tuesday!). So 2 for 2 this week.

Near where I live there is the Trans Pennine Trail, a coast to coast public footpath that traverses the UK, from Southport in the west, right across the country to Hornsea on the east coast. Here, it goes right down the back of my house. The path and public walkways are overshadowed by tree’s, forests, ponds and beautiful patches of greenery. Have a look at https://www.transpenninetrail.org.uk/ for more information.

Today, I decided to take my camera. I usually walk up/down it with just my phone but I thought I’d take a little extra time and leave the path and see what I could find in the copse’s and tree’s. I thought that as the weather hadn’t been great I might find some mushroom / funghi – disappointed on that count – along with the autumn fallen leaves and colours of the season.

You can find the spoils below. No mushrooms but some nice autumn shots. Post processing was done in ON1 Photo Raw 2024. Proof that you don’t have to go far from home to find some nice shots.
