James dragged me out for some fresh air, a walk in the park & some geocaching this afternoon.  All very successful apart from the geocaching which we failed to find!

I took the camera along and got a few shots which i’ve been having a play around with.

Another regal lion statue to go with the one from Munich in my last post.

A stand off between a pigeon and the swans

Tried out some of the adjustments in Aperture on this duck.  I love the strike of blue on his wing.

Tried a bit of tilt-shifting using Photoshop on this row of plants.

The wind died down just enough for me to get a non-blurry image of these bees at work.

And finally, had to include this one of a coot simply because i’d never realised until today quite how weird their feet are!!
