Catkin Sun by andycoleborn

Catkin Sun

My day off started at exactly the same time as any work day as I'd forgotten to switch of my alarms (yes alarms!!!) but thankfully, I could just hit the off button, roll over and grab some more Zzzz's.

Had a few chores to do indoors before heading out for a wander around the shops then it was off for a swim before stopping by the river to take a photo.

I wanted to take something a bit more interesting than just a sunset/river shot, so I broke off a small branch from a nearby catkin, stuck it in a hole in a wall and clicked off some shots.

I had my 50mm lens on today and for some reason struggled to get the focus right... more practice needed.

It was light til 7:30pm tonight... Glad we're now on BST as love the light evenings...
Ahh, this is lovely!
