Every cloud has a silver lining

Hi dearest LGM, yes the beavers have made a dam good job of spanning the river :)))

You are absolutely correct I can now do my full 105 minute walk, so did it yesterday and today.

If you read my reply to Tanja above you will see that I have a new compact. The controls of which get ever more complex, so I've just set it on auto everything and just push the button.

Thanks for your good wishes which I return with interest xx

Hey dear Nick, In so glad you can go out for a longer walk ! I assume things are opening up there a little at a time, as here. both these shots are really nice Nick, good reflections and lots to see. Has that tree been laying there across the water very long, its green over at the top but it appears to have fallen some time ago.?? best wishes, Sarah

Hi dear Sarah, the tree has been down for at least a couple of years, but I guess still has sufficient roots left in the ground to survive. It must be boring being a tree, this one tried to break out and have an adventure but didn't get very far,

Have a good weekend dear QofC

Fine shot Nick, great sky reflections...Regards, Bill.
