Balloon over Toft

The noise of the burner alerted us as this splendidly red balloon came right over our bungalow.

The light was so clear that you might even be able to recognise someone on board. It must have been a wonderful sight looking down from there. The balloon landed only a few fields away towards Comberton but there were trees masking my view of the touch down.

Images from Evesham

This morning was very frosty but clear with a very bright blue sky. The images here were taken a short walk from the Travelodge along the river so not quite from the window (defeated in trying to make interesting picture of the Little Chef outside my window). The river reflected the sky to give a lovely range of colours in the first image. The dead grasses produced more muted colours in the second image.The Canada Geese flew past while I was photographing a couple of hot air balloons.The predominant tree is the Alder and I thought it made an interesting backdrop for the Wood Pigeon.
