Lakeside Bimbling

 A day where pictures speak louder than words, where the sun shone and a butterfly flew over my garden.

Many more flowers are out - blooming crocuses, lesser celandine in a place where photographing it would have meant falling in a lake, and balkan anemones in the cemetery.

Crows gathered for a social chat in the tree tops, and a fat squirrel ran away from me in surprise, and probably, horror. 

The lake was beautifully lit by a low sun, silhouetting waterfowl as they went quietly about their aquatic business. 

Me, I walked around and through it all, as Paul Gambaccini asked questions about Bruckner on Radio 4.

Very pleasant.

  1. Si those pictures are utter bliss - especially the aconites. Newark and Wensleydale are far apart - nothing showing yet in my garden but a few shoots to tell me they are on their way. You have made my day with this post. Thank you. PS "Bimbling" ? In that a 'Si-ism' or a local word? Not heard it before but I like it - I shall add it to my vocabulary.
