I think that’s what it is.
I’ve been having some problems with my back recently, but yesterday evening it was particularly bad, and I went to lie down for a while. When I tried to get up to take my medication it was excruciatingly painful, and I couldn’t get back into bed again. I managed to get downstairs and get into a more comfortable chair, but I hardly got any sleep, and it isn’t any better today, so this is really an emergency picture.
… because I had already sent off my postal vote earlier in the week. Fed up with listening to the Brexit Broadcasting Corporation (BBC) promoting hate not hope candidates.
No grey wagtail available at the lily pond today, perhaps because I had a long lens with me. However, this mallard posed for me quite nicely. I experimented with some new Lightroom features in processing these pictures.
A joy to see one of these on the lily pond in the park again. But I must take a longer lens next time!

Lots of these at the moment – almost a weed! After yesterday’s full frame shot using an old (c 25 years) manual focus K-mount lens it’s back to a micro fourthirds.
This year the rhododendrons and the clematis have performed particularly well, but so far the conditions don’t seem to have suited the aquilegia as well.
There was some very light drizzle when I was going for my morning outing, and I did not want to have to have to clean the mobility scooter, so I just walked (slowly, with stops to recover) as far as the lily pond in the park, and this enabled me to see this wonderful display in the garden of a house near the park.
