Scenes from my latest Parkland walk earlier this week on a very sunny day.
Green-veined White Butterfly
Lots of people getting out on the water as the weather has now improved out of all recognition from the recent continuous deluge.

Its really good to see some Bumble Bees flying about now.
Although very common, I had to shoot this image of a Black-headed Gull because of the unusual light on the water.
Little Tiddlers, Minnows I think.
Let sleeping Ducks float.
Black-tailed Skimmer Dragonfly.
I did see quite a few of these during the walk.
Canoeing on the parkland.
well of course black-headed gulls aren't common around my parts; so glad you included that capture Roy. A restful series watching people and nature just 'enjoying' ...

DeleteEnjoyed this post! Glad you labeled the sleeping ducks, at first glance, I did not know what they were because of their reflection. Love the gull shot.
ReplyDeleteThanks Kathryn, it was meant to be a bit of a puzzle and you like puzzles.
