Happy Day

To start the day we exchanged cards. Irene gave me a 'Brain Trainer' (No comments please). I gave her some (paid for and legitimate) downloads of three Beethoven piano sonatas.

For lunch we decided that a cheesecake meal would be nice so we drove to our nearest outlet in Wollaton. My coffee reflected the season.

With the coffee we had Double Deca Chocolate Mousse cheesecake.


To walk this off we went into Wollaton Hall park.

I decided to use only the 300mm telephoto lens and no tripod. This decision was made to restrict the subject matter and challenge what could be done.


The reflection of the sun on the lake, with the particular flare, gives the impression that the trees are growing in the water.


Irene always appreciates the catkins.


Some camellia varieties were already in bloom in the camellia house.


Our short walk ended after we had passed a group of stags clashing antlers. A sure sign that spring is in the air.
