See, it’s not a typo

I headed south for today’s safari, into darkest Suffolk, to Knettishall Heath Country Park and the start (or end, of course) of Peddars Way [map].

I’d decided to experiment further with the wide angle lens but, en route, spotted an excuse to try out the telephoto lens first. I know the quality’s not brilliant but - considering it was shot into the sun and that the deer were a fair way away from me - I’m relatively happy with the result.

    Was it at least cold? It looks like it was a beautiful sunny, but very cold day (I’m hoping anyway, hehehehhe).

    Em3: The wind was on the chilly side, I’ll admit, but I was perfectly warm enough in my padded jacket and hat, thanks.

    Fantastic photos. What is the sign post about with the rabbits all going to the right? Rabbits to the right and all non-rabbits left, maybe and then we all collide someplace around the world. Ah, forgive me - I’m just a bit whacky today and tomorrow too.

    Em3: My guess is that it’s either a “Thar be rabbits” sign or, just possibly, a sign for one of the four trails through the park - there’s a green heathland trail mentioned on the park’s website.

    Wow, what great pictures! The big one in particular, the close-up of the Ridgeway/Peddars Way signpost. Love that one :-)

    Em3: Thanks, C. It’s not actually a close-up, though - I just cropped this one (the benefit of a 5.1MP camera …)

    It’s remarkable we haven’t bumped into one another as you are lurking in all my old haunts! I see you’ve included your Hitchcockian Shadow again… every great photographer needs a trademark!

    Em3: Carrying that huge silhouette around with me is getting tiring, I’ll admit. It’s hardly a trademark, though - I see many instances of the photographer’s shadow deliberately included.

    PCM - I hate to tell you this - It actually means you are only allowed to hunt there with a bow and arrow! And some horse didn’t half give that other post a whack!

    Em3: Of course! Why didn’t I realise that?
