Glasson Dock, Lancashire

It was a lovely sunny day today...but very chilly! Nice to get out into the fresh air though. We first stopped off at Glasson Dock...to look at the boats on the lake (and a rum & raisin ice-cream).It was lovely and peaceful, despite the wind-chill factor. After that we stopped off at Ravenglass, which is where I took the image of
the Cattermerang....as I had never seen one up close before, nor had I seen a pink Poppy either !! Lovely day for the time of year.

Wastwater ,Western Lakes

Another trip back to The Lake District....this time it was the western lakes, which is not very commercialised, so it was somewhat deserted. I don't think I have ever been to anywhere as stunningly breathtaking as this!! It was an unusually lovely warm day for the time of year and the sun played a big part in bringing out the sheer beauty of the colours. A truely wonderful day, in beautiful surroundings and shared with my best friend.....A day I shall never, ever forget!!

Last Remnants of Summer

I shall look back fondly at these images taken just a few days ago....I was really surprised that they were still busy at this time of year. I shall just have to content myself to seeing them again next spring, which at the moment seems a long way off. These insects were taken in the garden.
