Sunday Reflection

You may need to look twice at this one, but there in the puddle is the spire of St Gregory's Church. I was quite pleased with this photo, even though a tree is slightly obscuring the full effect. Have a peaceful and reflective Sunday.

Summer Sun

Just a stock photo today. Although the sun is shining the threat of rain is never far away, well this is Britain! When I took this photo the bright marigolds were being beaten to within an inch of their lives by the heavy downpours but now they are flagging due to the lack of water. You just can't win!

The beer festival on Friday night was very good (from what I can remember) and I took the tasting very seriously. I tried many different beers and the outcome I reached was - beer is good!

Nice Weather For Ducks

At least Huey, Dewey and Louie are enjoying the Great British summer. They have a pond to splash about in, but yesterday they decided that a large puddle would be much more fun! Yesterday it rained non-stop, all day long. According to the news, the South West had a months worth of rain in just one day. And it felt like it too! This photo is also a good opportunity for a follow up, as these ducks were once the ducklings that I showed here. They are all grown up now and are such a funny little trio. They waddle around, each one taking a turn at leading the other two, and they get into everything. They also talk (well, quack) at the customers where I work and are getting quite a fan club!

I sent some of my 'ducks in a puddle' photos to Sky News and the BBC. And Sky News have put one of them on their website! Check it out here. Go on! Its the first time one of my photos has appeared anywhere other than this blog, so I'm quite pleased with myself!
