... on a wonderful day, at last! Sunny and breezy but a warm wind now, so very pleasant. The morning was not a photographic success so we abandoned our trip and returned home. It was too good a day to waste indoors and right on our doorstep we had these scenes -
This small lake (or pond, some might say!) is fed by a very small stream which runs alongside the canal. You can see some narrowboats moored through the trees. The pair of swans in the pic have a nest at the far end of the lake and the pen, on the left, doesn't normally leave but I think she probably got fed up waiting for lunch so nipped off the nest for a quick bite to eat. The cob on the right is ... just swanning around, as they do! -

This bridge runs across from the canal towpath to a small road which connects with the High Street and it is at this point the stream widens into the lake. The surrounding area is left pretty much in its natural state and attracts a lot of wildlife -
2.
and, finally, man's best friend, in this instance acting as supervisor, waiting at the side of the lock gate for the master to bring the narrowboat back up to a sensible level so that he can jump aboard once again -
3.
All taken with the XZ10, having left my OM-D at home in disgust at the disappointing morning!
