Canal and moon!

I have had another fairly restful day, well, not too much walking as still resting up. It was a lovely sky this morning, would have been a good day to be at the sea front! But managed to catch a bit of it through the window.
A fairly quiet morning and then Tina and I had a drive to the canal near Driffield. We couldn’t wander too far as there was very little paved path and the rest looked extremely muddy and slippery. The water was high, there had been fields looking like lates on the drive there. Took quite a few pictures and although the lock hadn’t been used a lot lately and the weed was gathered on the surface, the actual water was still very clear as you will see in one of the pictures.






We were going to call into a garden centre on the way home but it was closed. There was a farm shop that was open though and we got a few bits of fruit and veg from there including a lovely cauliflower which Tina made into cauliflower cheese with bacon this evening.
This afternoon I have done a bit more sorting and started reading an Agatha Christie short story. When we were clearing away after tea Tina spotted the moon so a few pics to finish today.

  1. Very nice pics today. I like them all. Lovely morning sky. As you say I bet it was beautiful over the sea. One of these mornings you’ll get there and catch a good one. Not too bad through the window, and a bit warmer I’d guess!
    The canal does look very muddy in places on the banks. Just right to catch the unsuspecting passer by and have them sitting on their backside very easily. Good photo opportunity if you happened to be with someone who “fell” for it though 😊 The water does look really clear, but still not too inviting. Like the pic of the tree in silhouette with just enough of the lock gate handle showing to let the viewer know where it was taken. A really nice trip out and great for different photo ops. A nice day but also an easyish day for you. A few more like that would be nice.
    Even the moon decided to be full just to finish your day off nicely.
    Cauliflower cheese with bacon sounds good 👍

    1. It was a nice trip out, we have been to that canal a couple of times, very pretty. When the weather is better and the ground drier it will be nice to have a walk along beside it for a bit.
      It was good too that I had some different pictures to put on the blog tonight.
      It is supposed to get even colder tomorrow, the ice didn’t melt in the bird baths today!
