Nature album

This years cruising itinerary of London, Oxford, Coventry, Leicester, Birmingham, Warwick etc sounds a bit urban when I tell friends where I’ve been.  My photo album tells a different story.  I don’t find it easy to get good pictures of plants and animals but a small percentage come out alright, so here’s a selection from our cruises this year.

Don't forget, clicking brings 'em up big

1 Just a mossy branch, but the light was good.  This is my favourite.

2. The “other” side of mooring at Braunston

3. A visitor at Foxton Locks

4. perhaps the roses on our cans are more realistic than we think.  Actually I think this butterfly looks like
an old plane ready to take off

5. Crab apple blossom I think.  there was a bumper crop this autumn.

6. At last a peacock that doesn’t squawk – on the S. Oxford

7. A Richmond on Thames heron looking, as all herons do, grumpy and miserable
