Spring Morning Fresh…..
In response to The Daily Post’s weekly photo challenge: “Fresh.”
Nothing is quite like a Fresh Spring morning. Mist still lingering over the water, wrapping itself round the trees, whilst the low early morning sun has that extra warm tinge to its glow.
Nor is there much better experience than slowly cruising down a canal, creating the first ripples over water that was so still overnight.
Buds have yet to burst but we can still sense that Fresh new feeling of the dawn of another Spring.
Location. Sydney Gardens on the Kennet & Avon Canal, Bath, Avon.

Beautiful! I can imagine the two persons feeling comfortable in their coats but deep-breathing the spring air along the canal, approaching the sun.
Thank you, very inspiring!

It was indeed cold on the lungs as you breathed in just to remind you that it was still early in the year, But still a great day to be exploring that stretch of water.

It’s always a special thrill when you post a photo of somewhere I’ve been in England. This is a great shot, the reflections, the light quality, the serious expressions on the boaters, and the duck.

Have you had a chance to participate in a canal cruise in a longboat? I would really love to do that someday. We planned to do it in Belgium a number of years ago but it didn’t work out, and it’s still very much on our wish list (but not necessarily in Belgium).
