Dragonfly day.

Everywhere we stepped, blue damsel flies underfoot. 

A cuckoo in the trees

Big green and brown dragonflies, iridescent black and blue ones, 

Swans and cygnets, geese and goslings, boats gently chugging, and the gentle hum of insects whenever we walked away from the water. 

Blue skies, a buzzing haze, water lilies and shoals of nervous fish. 

Happy dogs, wet dogs, tired out ancient dogs, and wildly over enthusiastic bouncy teenage dogs in search of the perfect stick. 

Lunch with this view, and a lazy amble home again. A beautiful gentle life-filled ramble. 

At one point, surrounded by neck high nettles, I took picture two. 

I lift my eyes up, where does my help come from. 

Tia.
