This trip almost started off very badly when i nearly stacked into a tractor on the way to Blickling.Admittedly it was my fault as i indicated to turn off,realized it was wrong turning so went to go straight on and saw a tractor across the road.Needless to say old farmer Giles in his tractor wasn't too happy,probably put him behind schedule with his muck spreading or something! It was all on the up after that,apart from watching in fear as some old fart tried to park his car next to mine but made a right hash of it.Blickling has so much to offer and i caught it at the right time as the sheep were grazing with there young,not to mention the bluebells in the forest and a field flooded with yellow dandelions gave me such great opportunities.I did have to suffer for my art to get the pictures of the bluebells as there were thorny traps everywhere with the battle wounds on my legs to prove it! As the sun shone down on me and i gazed across the lake i thought to myself 'Now if only i could do this all the time, id be one happy person'. Even driving home wasn't the end tho as i pulled the car over to be greeted with a field of oil seed which surged off into the distance on a wave of yellow.
Its been quite some time since i've posted on here and for that i can only apologize truly.Id visited Blickling hall way back when i first started getting into photography and up until this day it always feels like an unfinished project to truly capture all this place has to offer.I decided to visit for my birthday as a treat but with two slight problems.The first being that my birthday is in March and the second that we've had weather this year that would make even a polar bears nuts cold! I hadn't had high hopes the night before for getting good weather but was greeted to blue skies the next day which brought a smile to my face.As you can see i had blue skies but don't be fooled into thinking it was warm.My face became so numb that it felt i had been laying on it for days.Despite all the cold,this place still shone out to me.My only other gripes were the people across the lake from me who seemed to be communicating using megaphones even tho they were stood right next to each other and the person shouting at his dog constantly with my only thought being 'please drag your owner into the lake!' All in all tho,a nice way to spend my birthday.
