A View from the Swamp

As it was a sunny day, I thought I’d make a visit to Woodwalton Fen.  Though it wasn’t the best time of day for photographs, the nature reserve is fantastic and gives you an appreciation of what the fens must have been like before they were drained.

The air hummed with dragon-flies, reeds rustled softly in the breeze, ducks honked, etc.  Enough of the communing with nature, I was hot and thirsty!  Anyway, I took a few photographs before I left for a pint:

Anyway, if the weather is sunny tomorrow, I may go back at sunset and see what else I see.

I finally head home today, so it was early to bed last night and up well before dawn this morning.  As a result, I wandered around outside my hotel at sunrise, and took these of the pond in the golf course.
