Taking a break

More showers yesterday and out for another canal walk. This chap was resting nicely on top of this daisy, and although i'm not a big fan of flies, up close, they are pretty fascinating.

I'll be away for a few days from tomorrow as I'll be celebrating my birthday in Brighton with family. So please forgive any lack of commenting!

Also:
I have just announced this week's mundane challenge in the discussions forum for themes and competitions. If you haven't tried this yet, please feel free to give it a go - if nothing else, it's a bit of inspiration for a photo one day next week!
