(Unseen… till later, The whirling seagulls)
Didn’t know they were there until I was reviewing the photos later – the seagulls. A whole flock of them whirling overhead, back right of shot; unseen but brightly present…
( Lake Windermere, seen from Fell Foot Park)
Fell Foot Park on the south-eastern tip of Windermere. It’s a National Trust estate with a delightful walk in a figure of eight that takes you away from the final basin of the lake and up the slope of a meadow.

(Fields of gold, skies of deepest blue)
When you emerge from the meadow and descend to the water’s edge, the lake has become a river and is busy narrowing itself to fit under the stones of Newby Bridge.

(From a nearby fell. (See next Thursday’s ‘Water-Circle+Cross’ post)
(The Boathouse: fine refreshments at the end of the walk)
And a coffee back at the boathouse? Be churlish not to…
But the hidden seagulls made my day!
