8 August 2010. This one's for Steve

He's the latest to incur the ire of the owners over there. The purpose of this photograph is to demonstrate that there are people who can't take great wildlife shots (me) and there are people who can, like Steve...

This is more my style:

It's a while since we have been to the pond. A great cheer went up when this boat flew through the air and capsized...

I hate to be a killjoy, but the model speedboats do bring out the grumpy old man in me. They make a hell of a racket, which isn't what you want if you're after a quiet Sunday afternoon by the pond. The cheer proved that I am not alone in this view :-)

  1. Yep. I'm a grumpy old woman about the boats too!

    I quite like your swan but no, it's not in the same league as EzHighway!

    I love your shot of the man taking a photo.

  2. I must pop along to Tynemouth boating lake one Sunday morning, see if the old guys still meet to show off their model boats (lovingly hand-crafted with polished brass fittings and mini steam boilers for power)....but I suspect it'll be noisy screamers with radio control too now.
    LOVE the one-legged swan!
    PS......I had a lovely nap, thank you!
