week 38: Swan lake

Ok, maybe another misleading title as this is not a photo of ballet dancers.... This photo was taken on the same walk as the Early morning by the pond post. I did not adjust the colour at all - it really was a sort of
pinky-orangy colour as the mist evaporated in the early sun.

I went to the Columbia road flower market this morning in the hopes of some nice photos to use as I don't really like any of the stuff I took earlier in the week that much. The flower market was a bit of a disappointment only about 20-25 stalls and most of them sold exactly the same stuff - either cut flowers (which were very beautiful - tulips in October!) or winter plants which seems to be variations of cyclamen, winter pansies and some berried bushes. Hence the photo taken last weekend.

I also got a shot of some gulls a little earlier than this one. Here in England for the first time I saw swans and gulls on the same body of water and it seems quite a common thing. But I'm glad the swan was by itself here as gulls just don't imply the same tranquillity to me.

Only 14 weeks to go, though I am quite enjoying this so I may very well just keep putting photos on the blog after the 52 weeks are done.
