Today has been one of those horrid days when everything seems to go wrong right from the start, so I went for a quick walk around Avalon Marshes to try and break the pattern. It didn't work, but I did take some photos...

A lone swan swimming up a green-covered ditch beside the road, and winter-type tree reflections.

It took me a while to decide whether this first one was a real bird or not - it turned out there were wooden carvings of birds all along the track! But there were lots of real birds too.

It was all quite peaceful.

I realised that these birds weren't quite real straight away - and then I saw some other cool things on the same fallen tree...2022-11-03 09StarlingsCarved 2022-11-03 08Toadstool3

I turned around to head back to the car, and there was the moon, hanging peacefully in the sky.

And a minute later, three white swans flew past, their beating wings loud in the sky - a nice thing to remember when I got back to the next bit of the day's chaos... *headdesk*

How're you doing? *g*

I was fascinated by the reflection of the trees - couldn't decide at first whether you'd bent over backwards like a contortionist to snap the actual ones, the reflection was so perfect. And the toadstools are so pretty - like parasols. I hope that it all went some way to making up for a **** of a day.
