A Sunday Swim

I had a delightful and unexpected bimble around Rushmere Country Park this afternoon with my good friends G & M.  The late, low, golden sunlight through the trees was wonderful, but difficult to capture (my best attempt is shown as an extra).  Then we spotted a group of mandarin ducks having a very fast swim in the sunlight and I just managed to snap them before they disappeared.

"Delicious autumn! My very soul is wedded to it, and if I were a bird I would fly about the earth seeking the successive autumns."
