I'm suffering from the Dreaded Lurgy at the moment, so haven't been for a walk for a few days. This photo was taken on my last walk, last Wednesday.
It wasn't taken in Black-and-white, I was just looking into the sun and it's come out that way.
The first time I crossed this valley, I met a little boy poking a long stick into a big puddle. His grandfather told me he was 'fishing for alligators'! So I always keep a wary eye out for large reptiles whenenever I pass this way now.
Flamstead, Herts.
During the walk I had a fleeting glimpse of a male Bullfinch, and twice saw a Buzzard. The first Buzzard sighting was, rather surprisingly, while I was sat eating my lunch in the middle of the large village of Redbourn.
