A pictorial diary of my walks around the parks and wild areas of Leicestershire, and occasionally farther afield.

If you're new to my blog, you might like to have a look at the pictures in the older post as well (click on button at the bottom of the page).

I am also a writer, using the pen-name John Gwynant, and I'll occasionally announce my latest book release on the blog.

Another grey and wet day - 7 January 2010

I didn't take the camera out today, the weather was so bad.
So I've pulled some pics out of the archives.

This tree caught my eye as I was returning to the car, after walking Skipper, one evening.

An autumn scene, the colours are just beginning to change. This boathouse is a place I like to use to test lenses. It is across the Cropston Reservoir from the footpath and behind it is the Bradgate Park (ancestral home of Lady Jane Grey). I sometimes think Cropston is one of the prettiest reservoirs in England.

This Northern Damsell fly with its electric blue colour wouldn't harm anyone and makes a beautiful line of colour in the green grass.

If you are squeamish about Creepy-Crawlies, look away now .

This lady, set her web up between our dustbins, but she didn't like having her picture taken and scuttled away as soon as I'd got this shot.
