Took this photo today whilst walking to work. It was raining - wet and miserable so the photo was slightly out of focus. This pair of ducks were walking along the path in front of me then walked towards the river. I've played around with the photo quite a bit but I'm pleased with the result.

Took this photo whilst walking to work today - it was a lovely sunny day - makes a change!!! Trying to get on with my D (Dancing Lady) socks but I'm having problems with them!! I almost finished the first one (in grey and pink) but it's too tight so I started a second sock and got the pattern wrong, so now I'm on my third one but I'm knitting with green wool now - not sure which contrast colour I'm going to use yet.
