The weather was looking a bit overcast today as I took a stroll around my village. The dark clouds were looming overhead. I knew that rain was imminent, but I decided to take my chances and go for a walk anyway.
At weekends there's quite a few dog walkers about but as everyone is back at work I had the country lanes to myself.
It quite common to see passers-by leaving bird food on the stone pillars next to the lake. Many people enjoy feeding the ducks and wild birds that are in the area, making it a popular spot for wildlife enthusiasts. I wished I had taken my long lens with me as today, I witnessed three squirrels and several ducks sharing the bird food. They didn't seem to be bothered about each others presence.
Someone's rhododendron bush looked lovely. The rest of their garden is very nice as well.
Going around the village lido, the sun was now shining. There were three little ducklings snoozing on the edge of the lido, with their mother keeping a watchful eye on them as the swan swam past.
