A Grey Wet Day

November 1, 2013 by Words | Comments Off

It’s really done little else but rain today. It was raining when I took this photo of the local cormorant:

And it was raining when I snapped these ducks in the road which was partly flooded.

There was the briefest break in the weather when I got this shot of a buzzard sweeping low over the fields.

And after a brief but major downpour it all eased off again to get this shot taken through the strangely lit gloom.
