The tower and the hill.

The tower and the hill.
Had a quick tidy then got into the garden again. My wild flower border is looking so much better apart from one patch which has been taken over by docken. I scooshed it a few days ago but it's unaffected so I'll have to try again. Pleased with my progress so came in and had a read then went up to Strath to photograph. It wasn't sunny like yesterday so I gave up on the catkins and the butterbur. Found there were coltsfoot further along the river too but stuck to the view with Corston tower reflected in a flooded bit of field.
Came home and realised I'd forgotten to post a letter which was already late so went round to the village shop. A big mistake as I succumbed to a bottle of wine. When I came back I found a sack of bird food had been delivered to my front door and an Amazon package put through the letter box containing a box of fudge shortbread. I didn't order it and there's no note of who it's from. I suspect Andy or his daughter Emma.
So looks like I'm going to have a sinful weekend. Maybe just as well as the forecast is for snow. Snow !

Looks like a difficult light to deal with there Jean, turned out ok in the though. Have a good Easter weekend and try not to overdo the indulgences, you will only regret it on Tuesday !.

Very nice reflection of the tower. Not an easy sky to capture, but you've managed it extremely well! Enjoy your fudge and wine....it's never a sin ;-))

A dramatic sky Jean.............that light must have given your sensor a good workout! I also like the way you've composed the shot to capture the reflection of the tower in that tiny bit of water.

A well taken, but rather sombre image.

Wine and Fudge...............it would be a sin NOT to partake :-))

Snow! A pity you couldn't capture the catkins, such is photography, all about timing, not to mention mood, remembering to change settings, etc :-)
