Combs Wood (April / May 2021)

I have been watching the emerging spring colours on the edge of Combs Wood during April and May from a footpath which is part of the Robin Hood Way, circular walk no.6. The route follows Combs Lane before climbing through the wood towards Greaves Lane and Robin Hood Hill. 

Each time I have passed the location I have documented the seasonal changes with the camera and whilst there isn’t one particularly outstanding shot, they work together well as a small collection or sequence. For example, these were a couple of scenes taken at start of April:


By early May the season was well underway (this is a more wide angle version of the above shots):


Similarly, the cold looking evergreens that stood out in early April eventually played second fiddle to the warmer colours as the new season progressed:












Just below Combs Wood I spotted this very simple, yet alternative spring scene. I particularly like the seasonal yellow-greens and the curve of the dividing fence:
