Default Our growing season

For those amongst you who are now wistfully casting your minds back to
the heady days of summer when your soil was workable (and visible),
here is a time-lapse of the growing season on our allotment.

It begins on 5th May, and ends on 17th Nov. I took a picture on every
visit to the plot, attempting to align the view the same each time,
with varying degrees of success. I tried to take the pics as close to
midday as possible because of the shadows, but again this was not
always possible. Also the sun was sometimes rather brighter than I
would have preferred. I tried to take the pic when the sun went in on
days when there was some cloud cover, but some days there was unbroken
sunshine. I know that seems difficult to envisage right now. And I
tried to keep the watering cans etc from popping in and out of view.
Again with varying success.

I hope you enjoy it. Questions, suggestions, ideas and constructive
criticism all welcome. Next year I plan to do one of the whole year.
Watch this space.

Wonderful, and thankyou for sharing it with us.
An inspiration for all of us to capture our own year on camera to show in
years to come to our families.
No criticism here, it's marvelous, and very well done.
