Hi John,
A nice place to walk round with bins and scope in autumn, winter and spring.
The ducks will look a lot better when they come out of eclipse later in the autumn.

Nice rugged landscape fromyoutoday,strikes me as well executed drawing in a traditional style, lovely work.
 
lovely grubly apple - interesting use of various apps to grab the look.
I always make apple sauce with our apples as we don’t eat them - I spoon it into small bags and freeze. Lasts all year.
 
Apple and worm tart perhaps? I always enjoy your fun art, brilliant, brightens up the day.
 
Historic bike ride 1 hour 15mins so I reckon with planned stops at historic spots 2 hours should take care of Tuesday's outing with my E Bike friends.

@gennepher Apples push my BG high in any form, bit like you and spuds I suspect. Sons got a very nice Orchard and all his apples were going to waste because him and my granddaughters are too afraid of the wasps. I went and picked lots of them for him so in my granddaughter's eyes I was a hero, they don't believe that so long as you don't panic, run, wave your arms about and are careful to pick those without holes wasps leave you alone. I told them I'm 70 years old and only been stung once useing this technique but they still can't bring themselves to stay calm.

Funny thing is as we were leaving a guy rode down to the water's edge on a pushbike got of his bike stripped off and jumped in the lake for a swim the water must have been ice cold better him than I was my thinking.

A wild swimmer, eh what?
Best he check for blue green algae first.
I reckon coronavirus will be in sewage outflows to rivers, particularly if it rains a lot!
I guess if they can wild swim this next coronavirus wave in winter, survival will be nothing to worry about!

Thank you, I do like this traditional style although it takes several attempts to get near what I was hoping for

Yes Silverhill wood and the other trails are great, and just a short distance from where I live loads of walks plenty of benches beside the pathways and some bins for rubbish, there was one solitary duck gliding along on the lake on the other lakes there are ducks coots the odd heron and a few swans also various other aquatic birds that come and go it's a beautiful quite place to be most of the time.

Silverhill wood is on the site of what used to be the Silverhill and Teversal Collieries after the mines were closed the sites were landscaped to provide recreational areas, Partly funded from EU grants I might add.
 

I should explain, John, when birders talk of bins they mean binoculars, usually expensive Swarovski bins that all the nature presenters on TV seem to be given.

@lindisfel

Oh well sorry about the confusion but that's OK because I always carry bins with me but not as good as those TV presenters free ones.

Though we have three sets of bins pocket sized that came for free when we joined the National Trust.

One thing is there aren't that many rubbish bins because they prefer you to take your rubbish home with you.
 
7.7 yesterday and 6.6 today oh for the trend to continue with a 5.5 tomorrow ...very unlikely though
