The weather was glorious though the conditions underfoot were not quite so good, reflecting the extraordinary amount of rainfall the region has seen in recent weeks... However, my socks have now dried out and there's not much sign of swamp foot....
We parked up near the eastern end of the lake and walked along the shoreline for a couple of kilometres. This may sound a short walk until you take into account the photo stops en route!
Hope you enjoy our snapshot view of the walk..
Studies in Blue..
The lakeside path - a dry bit!
A photo in the making..
Glorious autumn shades
Part of the lake was covered with the brightest of green algae..
Spindleberry in full bloom
For an afternoon's walk with photo time, it was just right! We could of course have gone all the way round the lake. But 20km is a bit much when you've a camera to keep happy!
So that is what a spindleberry looks like! I find if I take the camera out with me cycling I never get anywhere and I have no exercise. Too busy spotting all the photos along the way!
ReplyDeleteHave a good and dry week. Diane
Thanks, Diane. Spindleberry is really unusual and most attractive. I first saw it in Rusland in the Lake District UK.
DeleteJust look upon taking photos as a form of exercise.. all that bending and stretching to get the right shot... then you'll feel much more self righteous on the exercise front!
Beautiful photos, lovely sunshine, lucky you !!
ReplyDeleteWhat a nice place! And what a wonderful way to spend an afternoon!
