Our holiday - part two - Jim's version !

Wood Henge

Skylark - so tricky to photograph

Longmuir Lake - where we were staying

Super area of Orchids

A visit to Henley - Wooster taking care of Maisie

Sadly we didn't get any further than this as Wooster was very scared of the loud rushing water underneath the boardwalk

So back we went

Henley Rowing Club and some school children in canoes

Super shot of a low flying Red Kite

A visit to our favourite walking place - Streatley - only to find the footpath closed. Quite a long walk through the village to reach the path

Banded Demoiselles

Greylag Geese

Nice older boat being chased down by a plastic one

Lovely cooling paddle for Wooster

Wooster wanted the stick in the water - but we suspected it might be too deep

Kites  again

The Swan at Streatley where we have stayed in the past -  years of renovations and re-building - then Covid, but now fully open 

Stunning spot, but the wonderful Boathouse Bistro is no more - pity !

The river at Benson

Wooster finding some shade - it really was very hot

Maisie with her head through the wooden balustrade

Keeping an eye on the Swan

Who was in a bad mood again

Grebe

A visit to Finchampstead Ridges in the hope it might be cooler in the trees

Not really !

Really lovely pond

Final walk through the Orchid meadow

Sadly we were under the Heathrow flightpath that day

Maisie watching Wooster happily trotting along this time

Rather like the Cornish Red Rivers this bog has reddish water due to the minerals in the ground

Common Cotton Grass
