Thought I'd just share this photo with you all, my new Cyber family :) Early morning row, sun breaking through, twinkling on the river, frosty fields, mist above the water, great crested grebes diving for fish, 4 swans flying overhead in formation, tufted ducks, mallards, weeping willows . . .

Apologies, still can't get the hang of this, this one's upside down 🤔

Still stunning....Oh wowsers! I am more than a tad jealous... ( I exercised on my elliptical trainer this morning....the broken ribs are preventing outside runs at the moment... :( )

I am sneaking onto everyone's' outdoor runs..or rows with them :) This is beautiful!

I would love to do a watercolour painting of this.. :) Beautiful.

PS

If I messaged you with my email would you send me the photgraph so I could have try at a painting ? :) ( I have to find lots of things to keep me occupied whilst on the IC... )

Of course! I would be delighted to. Seriously impressed that you can paint! I am truly rubbish at art but so appreciate it. Thinking of you and your poor ribs, gentle hugs x

Looks wonderful - but cold! The reflection is so good that it hardly matters that it's upside down.

You must be so fit! Rowing for upper body strength and running for the legs!

Thank you. Yes, -2 degrees. Tootsies felt the cold, though rest of body fine. Don't think I'm that fit. . . Running is still very new to me! But very kind of you to say :)

Oh, and there's me thinking that sky is such a beautiful dark blue.
