A very nice sunrise did not develop today. The sun will rise over the water and between these trees around April 18th or 19th. I hope I can get the clouds to cooperate.

Our countryside is indeed a special place wherever we go. The Grand Union Canal between Barrow Upon Soar and Loughborough.

Houseboats on the River Lea where it passes between Springfield Park (out of shot to the right) and Springfield Marina (across the river).

A 1st for me. I took a 1/2 dozen images and was getting my tripod ready when she flew off. A female.

Time to backtrack and take a different route. :-)

I deliberately waited until my family members walked on ahead so that I could make this composition – I swear it was not so that I could get away from them! I recognised that there was a pleasing compositional balance to the scene, with the trees on the left and right framing the narrow boats. My aim was for the figures disappearing into the fog to provide the final touch.

The towpath up to the 'Astle Bridge', Netherton...named after a piece of graffiti remembering a local-hero footballer... Despite repeated attempts to remove the graffiti, it would always reappear...a plaque underneath the bridge now celebrates this story...

"Fred", our resident Great Blue Heron, seemed to relish making several of us wait while he decided which way he wanted to go on the towpath. Typical male...won't ask for directions! Wildwood Lake, Harrisburg, Pennsylvania

Nottingham

The city of Nottingham has an interesting waterfront district, based around the Nottingham & Beeston Canal and the River Trent. The Castle Wharf area is busy with café culture and outdoor dining, all at the water's edge. The canal towpath is a walking and cycling route, connecting different areas of the city.

Along the winding towpath on the Leeds to Liverpool canal at Apperley Bridge, West Yorkshire, England.

I think these are inkcaps (Coprinopsis atramentaria) well into the process of deliquescing, but in too nice a spot to ignore!

Along the towpath, Stourbridge.
