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.

Misty day - 29 December 2010

I went out yesterday but the weather was so bad, I didn't bother taking the camera out of the bag.

Today there was a mist but a lot more light, so, with thanks to the creators of Digital photography, I risked it and took some pics at watermead park.

The mute swan flying out of the mist and then turning across the front of me was worth the effort, even if there is very little colour.

This Shovellor found a small area of open water on one of the minor lakes and I was able to snap him through the hole in the wall hide.
