Swan Lake, Swan Lake

With the cold wind dropping, today was positively springlike and we were tempted to take a short walk around Swan Lake (Straw's Bridge Nature Reserve) without coats! We were not the only ones taking advantage of the weather either as an artist was busy capturing the scene in oils.


He was making a really good job of it too but broke off to spend a few minutes chatting to us before kindly agreed to let me take this photo. He had obviously spent quite some time on his work but for me I captured two images in one with just a click of a button. I often envy though the talent of people who can create such works of art but it wouldn't do for us all to be the same and at least I can admire the results of their labours.
