The days are getting shorter

Yes the days are getting shorter as it now seems to be dark when I leave for work and getting dark when I get home. so what better way than sharing some images from Summer.

Canal boats moored on the river.

I love the East Anglian Landscape in at any time of the year, but late Spring and early Summer is my favourite time, with the fields golden with crops and the flowers out in bloom makes early morning walks along the river special.

These early morning walks are made all the more special by the Summer Migrants that arrive and the still air is full of their song, like the Sedge warbler and the first Cuckoo calling.

Those days seem so far away now as we wake to the foggy damp mornings and everyone is rushing about in big coats, hats and gloves, but it will not be long until Spring and we wait for the first signs of longer days.

Until then I will look at and share my images that makes being an East Anglia a special place to be.
