Only a Winters Day.

Lancaster Canal on a winters afternoon.

Three good things:
1. I have posted most of my Christmas parcels to New Zealand ...on time this year!!
2. Porridge for breakfast.
3. Just stunning cold frosty weather, everywhere looks very Christmassy.

Lovely shot .... nicely framed by the bridge :)

[Susan Knowles]

[Padlock]

Great framing.

[Hazel]

What a nicely framed and composed shot, Pat, fav for me!

[Anne Mary]

You're trending, Pat - Lovely shot!

[Pat Knowles]

@annemary My word so I am Anne Mary...exciting!! Thanks.

[Peggy Sirk]

Such a delightful shot, Pat...and perfectly framed by the beautiful stonework arch of the bridge. I'm certain that getting that Christmas parcel sent off to NZ was a huge load off your mind. You all will be getting an early Christmas gift with the arrival of the new baby boy! :)

[Gayanne Campbell]

Lovely scene and so wonderfully framed. Superb!

[🐞Lucy Dolittle]

This composition is just lovely. I would like a bit of frost so I can walk on the mud rather than through it!

[Maggiemae]

I didn't know Lancaster had a canal! Great photography opportunities and this one is beautiful! Looks quite a lot of private launches here and not narrowboats.

[Pat Knowles]

@peggysirk Yes Peggy I have wrapped a little present for the as yet unamed baby boy.

[Pat Knowles]

@maggiemae The Lancaster canal runs from Tewitfield just north of Carnforth all the way to Preston docks maggiemae. A busy canal with many pleasure boats & it passes through all the areas I live around so very familiar to me. This photo was taken in Garstang.

[Alison Tomlin]

Oo very pretty and some perfectly placed ducks. Very organised to get your presents off already!

[Beryl Lloyd]

A super composition Pat -- so beautiful and superbly framed with the bridge --I love it

[Gail]

FAV! This is simply beautiful, Pat.

Great composition. Love the duck and its wake in the foreground.

[Pat Knowles]

@julzmaioro He he Julia...I could almost deliver yours but it would be late!!

[julia]

@happypat Perhaps we could have a catch up when you are here, have a friend that is a 365er would you be keen..

[Barbara Paquette]

Almost looks like the Netherlands! Super framing and great exposure.

[Gerry]

very nice photo Pat

[Rob Wareham]

Good use of the bridge to frame the shot. Lovely photo.

[Pat Knowles]

@julzmaioro You bet Julia ...we could perhaps have coffee at the cave cafe..I'm sure my son & DIL would take me up there, we go quite often. Will sort it out nearer the time shall we?

[Sarah Bremner]

That is SO gorgeous Pat! It's so lovely to have crisp, clear, calm, days after some of the wilder ones!
And well done getting your posting off in time......mine is going to be late!

[Pete]

Great framing, Pat - that duck looks like he's late for the bus!

[Claire]

No frost at all here! I nearly posted a river framed by a bridge today - should have done - this looks lovely!!

Beautiful capture of your canal. 😊

[Jo]

Super shot, the bridge makes a perfect frame and the duck is the icing on the cake.

[Pat Knowles]

@andreajoy It's called the Nikau Cave cafe Andrea...google it & you can see where it is. Might be quite a way for you to come but would be fantastic if you could!!
